1

Work is measured in:

75% Answer Correctly

watts

amps

horsepower

joules or newton-meters


Solution

Work is performed on an object when an applied force causes displacement along the same vector. Measured in joules (J) or newton-meters (Nm), work is calculated by multiplying force times displacement:  \(W = \vec{F}\vec{d}\)


2

Neurons are part of the __________ nervous system.

42% Answer Correctly

somatic

autonomic

peripheral

central


Solution

The nervous system consists of the brain and spinal cord (central nervous system) and the peripheral nervous system which is the network of nerve cells (neurons) that collect and distribute signals from the central nervous system throughout the body.


3

79% Answer Correctly

proton

electron

atom

neutron


Solution

A neutron is a subatomic particle found in the nucleus of an atom. It is neutral as it carries no electric charge.


4

The rows of the Periodic Table of the Elements are called:

62% Answer Correctly

shells

groups

periods

families


Solution

The rows of the Periodic Table are called periods and contain elements that have the same number of electron shells ordered from lower to higher atomic number.

212°F is how many °C?

77% Answer Correctly

100

\(135 {5 \over 9}\)

0

-100


Solution

The formula to convert from F° to C° is:

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (F° - 32)\)

plugging in our values gives:

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (212 - 32)\)

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (180) = {{180 \times 5} \over 9}\)

\(C° = {900 \over 9}\)

\(C° = 100\)
