1

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

kinetic

gravitational

inherent


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.


2

__________ and __________ pair to strengthen bones.

65% Answer Correctly

vitamin D, calcium

vitamin D, magnesium

calcium, vitamin A

iron, calcium


Solution

Vitamin D helps calcium strengthen bones while also aiding muscle, nerve, and immune system function.


3

Which of the following describes the Earth's mantle?

81% Answer Correctly

makes up most of Earth's volume

hot

dense

all of these


Solution

Mantle makes up 84% of the Earth's volume and has an average thickness of approximately 1,800 miles (2,900 km). It is dense, hot, and primarily solid although in places it behaves more like a viscous fluid as the plates of the upper mantle and crust gradually "float" along its circumference.


4

In the Periodic Table of the Elements, elements in the same column belong to the same:

64% Answer Correctly

period

family

atomic number

group


Solution

The columns of the Periodic Table are called groups and all elements in a group have the same number of electrons in their outer electron shell. The group that an element occupies generally determines its chemical properties as the number of outer shell electrons establishes the way it reacts with other elements to form molecules. So, because each element has the same number of electrons in its outer shell, each has similar reactivity.


5

Which of the following is the formula for power?

56% Answer Correctly

\(P = {\vec{w} \over t}\)

\(P = \vec{w}t\)

\(P = w t\)

\(P = {w \over t}\)


Solution

Power is the rate at which work is performed or work per unit time:  \(P = {w \over t}\)  and is measured in watts (W).
