1

The __________ is a system of muscles that allows breathing.

74% Answer Correctly

pulmonary

trachea

diaphragm

bronchioles


Solution

The diaphragm is a system of muscles that allows breathing. During inhalation, the diaphragm expands and air rushes in to fill the space created. Then, during exhalation, the diaphragm contracts and forces the air back out.


2

The respiratory and circulatory systems are similar in that they:

83% Answer Correctly

deoxygenate blood

add carbon dioxide

transport nutrients

transport oxygen


Solution

Like the respiratory system, the circulatory system serves to transport oxygen throughout the body while removing carbon dioxide. In addition, the circulatory system transports nutrients from the digestive system.


3

These clouds grow upward and can develop into cumulonimbus or thunderstorm clouds.

69% Answer Correctly

cirrus clouds

nimbus clouds

cumulus clouds

stratus clouds


Solution

Cumulus clouds are large, puffy, mid-altitude clouds with a flat base and a rounded top. These clouds grow upward and can develop into a cumulonimbus or thunderstorm cloud.


4

The formula for acceleration is which of the following?

56% Answer Correctly

\(\vec{a} = { m \over F }\)

\(\vec{a} = { m \over \vec{F} }\)

\(\vec{a} = \vec{F} m\)

\(\vec{a} = { \vec{F} \over m }\)


Solution

Newton's second law of motion leads to the formula for acceleration which is a measure of the rate of change of velocity per unit time and, if you solve for positive acceleration, reveals how much net force is needed to overcome an object's mass.  The formula for acceleration is  \(\vec{a} = { \vec{F} \over m }\) or, solving for force,  \(\vec{F} = m\vec{a}\).


5

When the clouds become too saturated with water, the water is released as precipitation in the form of:

28% Answer Correctly

snow

ice

snow or ice

rain


Solution

Rising into the atmosphere, the water condenses into clouds. When the clouds become too saturated with water, the water is released as snow or ice precipitation which may warm as it falls to reach Earth as rain.
