1

The heart __________ blood.

61% Answer Correctly

filters

creates

deoxygenates

oxygenates


Solution

To provide oxygen to the body, blood flows through the heart in a path formed by the right atrium → right ventricle → lungs → left atrium → left ventricle → body. When blood enters the right side of the heart it is deoxygenated. It enters the left side of the heart oxygenated after traveling to the lungs.


2

Which of the following is the formula for power?

56% Answer Correctly

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

\(P = w t\)

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

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


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

Which of the following would be used in eye glasses to correct farsightedness?

64% Answer Correctly

convex mirror

concave mirror

concave lens

convex lens


Solution

Unlike curved mirrors that operate on the principle of reflection, lenses utilize refraction. A convex lens is thicker in the middle than on the edges and converges light while a concave lens is thicker on the edges than in the middle and diffuses light. A common use for curved lenses is in eye glasses where a convex lens is used to correct farsightedness and a concave lens is used to correct nearsightedness.


4

Which of the following is not true about mass and weight?

55% Answer Correctly

weight is the force exerted on an object by gravity

mass is the amount of matter something has

weight depends on the location where it is measured

mass depends on the location where it is measured


Solution

Mass is the amount of matter something has while weight is the force exerted on an object's mass by gravity.  So, although a person's mass doesn't change when going from the Earth to the Moon, their weight will decrease because the force of the Moon's gravity is much less than that of Earth.


5

Cirrus clouds generally occur in what kind of weather?

51% Answer Correctly

freezing

stormy

hot

fair


Solution

Cirrus clouds are thin, wispy high-altitude clouds composed of ice crystals that originate from the freezing of supercooled water droplets. Cirrus clouds generally occur in fair weather and point in the direction of air movement at their elevation.
