1

Work is measured in:

75% Answer Correctly

horsepower

amps

watts

joules or newton-meters


Solution

Work is performed on an object when an applied force causes displacement along the same vector. Measured in joules (J) or newton-meters (Nm), work is calculated by multiplying force times displacement:  \(W = \vec{F}\vec{d}\)


2

Which of the following is the formula for power?

56% Answer Correctly

\(P = w t\)

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

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

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


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).


3

The connective tissue that connects bones to other bones at joints is called:

70% Answer Correctly

ligaments

knuckles

tendons

cartilage


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).


4

As part of the carbon cycle, plants release carbon into the atmosphere through which process?

45% Answer Correctly

sedimentation

evaporation

photosynthesis

decomposition


Solution

The carbon cycle represents the ciruit of carbon through Earth's ecosystem. Carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere is absorbed by plants through photosynthesis. Plants then die and release carbon back into the atmosphere during decomposition or are eaten by animals who breathe (respiration) the carbon into the atmosphere they exhale and produce waste which also releases carbon as it decays.


5

A subatomic particle found in the nucleus of an atom. It carries no electric charge. This desribes which of the following?

79% Answer Correctly

electron

atom

proton

neutron


Solution

A neutron is a subatomic particle found in the nucleus of an atom. It is neutral as it carries no electric charge.
