An air mass is a large body of air that has which of the following characteristics?

86% Answer Correctly

similar temperature

all of these

similar moisture

similar density

2

Molecules and atoms that are inputs to a chemical reaction are known as which of the following?

63% Answer Correctly

reactants

fuel

components

products


Solution

During a chemical reaction molecules and atoms (reactants) are rearranged into new combinations that result in new kinds of atoms or molecules (products).


3

In which type of compound does one atom borrow an electron from another atom?

58% Answer Correctly

acidic

ionic

covalent

chemical


Solution

A compound is a substance containing two or more different chemical elements bound together by a chemical bond. In covalent compounds, electrons are shared between atoms. In ionic compounds, one atom borrows an electron from another atom resulting in two ions (electrically charged atoms) of opposite polarities that then become bonded electrostatically.


4

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

64% Answer Correctly

medulla

spinal cord

cerebellum

cerebrum


Solution

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


5

Which of the following is the formula for power?

55% Answer Correctly

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

\(P = w t\)

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

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


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).
