3

Which of the following is the formula for power?

56% Answer Correctly

\(P = {w \over t}\)

\(P = \vec{w}t\)

\(P = {\vec{w} \over t}\)

\(P = w t\)


Solution

Power is the rate at which work is performed or work per unit time:  \(P = {w \over t}\)  and is measured in watts (W).


4

Tough fibrous cords of connective tissue that connect muscles to the skeleton are called:

71% Answer Correctly

vertebra

tendons

cartilage

ligaments


Solution

Tough fibrous cords of connective tissue called tendons connect muscles to the skeleton while another type of connective tissue called ligaments connect bones to other bones at joints (elbow, knee, fingers, spinal column).


5

As a cold front moves into an area, the heavier cool air __________ the lighter warm air that it is replacing.

65% Answer Correctly

pushes under

pushes above

mixes with

cancels out


Solution

A cold front is a warm-cold air boundary with the colder air replacing the warmer. As a cold front moves into an area, the heavier cool air pushes under the lighter warm air that it is replacing. The warm air becomes cooler as it rises and, if the rising air is humid enough, the water vapor it contains will condense into clouds and precipitation may fall.
