An electrically charged atom is a(n):

49% Answer Correctly

proton

neutron

3

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 depends on the location where it is measured

mass is the amount of matter something has

weight 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.


4

Blood is delivered to bodily tissues through:

48% Answer Correctly

veins

arterioles

capillaries

plasma


Solution

The aorta is the body's largest artery and receives blood from the pulmonary vein via the left ventricle. From there, blood is circulated through the rest of the body through smaller arteries called arterioles that branch out from the heart. Finally, blood is delivered to bodily tissues through capillaries.


5

A transition zone between two air masses is called:

71% Answer Correctly

front

boundary

thunderstorm

fog


Solution

An air mass is a large body of air that has similar moisture (density) and temperature characteristics. A front is a transition zone between two air masses.
