1

The gravitational interaction of Earth and the Moon is responsible for which of these?

77% Answer Correctly

seasons

the northern lights

tides


Solution

2

The rate of vibration of sound is called:

83% Answer Correctly

volume

frequency

period

amplitude


Solution

The rate of vibration of sound is called frequency and is measured in hertz (Hz). One hertz is one repetition per second and sounds with high frequency have a higher pitch than sounds with lower frequency. Humans can hear sounds in the range of 20 Hz to 20 kHz.


3

Tertiary consumers eat which of the following?

59% Answer Correctly

primary and secondary consumers

all of these

decomposers

producers

Tertiary consumers eat primary consumers and secondary consumers and are typically carnivorous predators. Tertiary consumers may also be omnivores. Examples include wolves, sharks, and human beings.


4

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

55% Answer Correctly

mass depends on the location where it is measured

weight depends on the location where it is measured

mass is the amount of matter something has

weight is the force exerted on an object by gravity


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

The heart __________ blood.

61% Answer Correctly

filters

oxygenates

creates

deoxygenates


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.
