1

In the water cycle, infiltration is most closely related to:

41% Answer Correctly

runoff

oceans

water table

rivers


Solution

The water then accumulates as runoff and eventually returns to bodies of water or is absorbed into the Earth (infiltration) and becomes part of the water table, an underground resevoir of fresh water.


2

Which of the following would you find in the side view mirror of a car?

57% Answer Correctly

convex lens

concave mirror

concave lens

convex mirror


Solution

A concave (or converging) mirror bulges inward and focuses reflected light on the mirror's focal point where the mirror's angles of incidence converge. In contrast, a convex (or diverging) mirror bulges outward and diffuses the light waves that strike it. A common use of a concave mirror is in a reflecting telescope, a common use of a convex mirror is in the side view mirror of a car.


3

Velocity and displacement are fully described by both a magnitude and a direction.  Velocity and displacement are which of the following?

70% Answer Correctly

scalar quantities

vector quantities

combinational quantities

composite quantities


Solution

Velocity and displacement are vector quantities which means each is fully described by both a magnitude and a direction.  In contrast, scalar quantities are quantities that are fully described by a magnitude only.  A variable indicating a vector quantity will often be shown with an arrow symbol:  \(\vec{v}\)


4

Minerals, vitamins, and fiber are:

69% Answer Correctly

proteins

carbohydrates

micronutrients

macronutrients


Solution

Minterals, vitamins, and fiber are micronutrients while proteins, carbohydrates, and fats are macronutrients.


5

Changes to an object's speed or direction of motion are caused by which of the following?

72% Answer Correctly

a force

work

kinetic energy

power


Solution

Force is applied to change an object's speed or direction of motion.
