1

During the water cycle, water enters the atmosphere as a gas through which process?

26% Answer Correctly

both evaporation and transpiration

transpiration

evaporation

precipitation


Solution

The water (hydrologic) cycle describes the movement of water from Earth through the atmosphere and back to Earth. The cycle starts when water evaporates into a gas from bodies of water like rivers, lakes and oceans or transpirates from the leaves of plants.


2

pH is a scale that measures of how basic or acidic a solution is. A solution with a pH of 4 is:

71% Answer Correctly

acidic

alkaline

neutral

basic


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.


3

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

81% Answer Correctly

endoskeleton

vertebrate

bone

exoskeleton


Solution

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


4

The formula for acceleration is which of the following?

56% Answer Correctly

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

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

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

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


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

Poor balance could indicate an issue with which part of the nervous system?

64% Answer Correctly

medulla

cerebellum

cerebrum

spinal cord


Solution

The cerebellum is a large cluster of nerves at the base of the brain that's responsible for balance, movement, and muscle coordination.
