1

Velocity is the rate at which an object changes position. What is the formula for velocity? 

68% Answer Correctly

\(\vec{v} = { t \over \vec{d} } \)

\(\vec{v} = \vec{d}t \)

\(\vec{v} = { \vec{d} \over t } \)

none of these


Solution

Velocity is the rate at which an object changes position. Rate is measured in time and position is measured in displacement so the formula for velocity becomes  \(\vec{v} = { \vec{d} \over t } \) 


2

All surface water is part of the:

76% Answer Correctly

geosphere

lithosphere

atmosphere

hydrosphere


Solution

The biosphere is the global ecological system integrating all living beings and their relationships. This includes their interactions with the lithosphere (the rigid outer part of the earth, consisting of the crust and upper mantle), hydrosphere (all surface water), and atmosphere (the envelope of gases surrounding the planet).


3

Which of Earth's layers has weather?

63% Answer Correctly

troposphere

stratosphere

thermosphere

mesosphere


Solution

The Earth's atmosphere has several layers starting with the troposphere which is closest in proximity to the surface. Containing most of the Earth's breathable air (oxygen and nitrogen), it's a region with warmer temperatures closer to the surface and cooler temperatures farther away which results in the rising and falling air that generates weather.


4

Large, puffy, mid-altitude clouds with a flat base and a rounded top describe which of the following?

74% Answer Correctly

cirrus clouds

fog

stratus clouds

cumulus 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.


5

Which of these is not a type of fat?

76% Answer Correctly

polyunsaturated

saturated

cholesterol
