1

Absolute zero is which of the following?

57% Answer Correctly

the coldest temperature possible in the universe

the freezing point of oxygen

the freezing point of hydrogen

0°C


Solution

In contrast to the Celsius scale (measured in degrees centigrade) that fixes 0° at the freezing point of water and the Fahrenheit scale that uses 32°, the Kelvin scale fixes 0 at absolute zero (-273°C) which is the lowest temperature possible in the universe.


2

The energy posessed by a ball on the window ledge of a tall building is an example of what kind of energy?

66% Answer Correctly

potential

gravitational

inherent

kinetic


Solution

Kinetic energy is the energy posessed by a moving object. Potential energy is stored energy in a stationary object based on its location, position, shape, or state.


3

Convert 0C° to F°.

72% Answer Correctly

16

32

0

-32


Solution

To convert from C° to F° use:

\(F° = {9 \over 5}C° + 32\)

\(F° = {9 \over 5}(0) + 32\)

\(F° = 0 + 32 = 32\)

 


4

Which of these does not contain oxygenated blood?

47% Answer Correctly

pulmonary vein

left ventricle

right atrium

aorta


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.


5

Which of the following is not a base unit in the metric system?

87% Answer Correctly

gram

liter

meter

degree Fahrenheit


Solution

The Fahrenheit scale is used for measuring temperature in the British system. The metric system uses the Celsius scale.
