1

This skeletal system is common in arthropods like insects, spiders, and crustaceans.

81% Answer Correctly

exoskeleton

vertebrate

endoskeleton

bone


Solution

An exoskeleton (external skeleton) is common in arthropods like insects, spiders, and crustaceans.


2

During continental drift, the drifting plates move across which of the following?

50% Answer Correctly

fault lines

sediment

liquid mantle

water


Solution

The crust and the rigid lithosphere (upper mantle) is made up of approximately thirty separate plates. These plates more very slowly on the slightly more liquid mantle (asthenosphere) beneath them. This movement has resulted in continental drift which is the gradual movement of land masses across Earth's surface. Continental drift is a very slow process, occurring over hundreds of millions of years.


3

pH is a scale that measures of how basic or acidic a solution is. A solution with a pH of 9 is:

68% Answer Correctly

neutral

alkaline

acidic

water


Solution

An acid is a substance that gives up positively charged hydrogen ions (H+) when dissolved in water. A base (alkaline) gives up negatively charged hydroxide ions (OH-) when dissolved in water. pH is a scale that measures of how basic or acidic a solution is. Numbered from 0 to 14, solutions with a pH of 7 are neutral, less than 7 are acidic, more than 7 are alkaline.


4

Force is measured in newtons (N) with 1 N being the force required to impart an acceleration of:

58% Answer Correctly

1 m/s2 to a mass of 1 kg/s2

1 m/s2 to a mass of 1 kg

1 mph to a mass of 1 kg

1 m/s to a mass of 1 kg


Solution

Weight is a force that describes the attraction of gravity on an object. Force is measured in newtons (N) with 1 N being the force required to impart an acceleration of 1 m/s2 to a mass of 1 kg.


5

Convert 0C° to F°.

72% Answer Correctly

-32

16

32

0


Solution

To convert from C° to F° use:

\(F° = {9 \over 5}C° + 32\)

\(F° = {9 \over 5}(0) + 32\)

\(F° = 0 + 32 = 32\)
