1

During digestion, after proteins are broken down where does the undigested food go next?

53% Answer Correctly

stomach

small intestine

large intestine

esophagus


Solution

Food is mixed with gastric acid and pepsin in the stomach to help break down protein.


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

Which of the following is the formula for power?

56% Answer Correctly

\(P = w t\)

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

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

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


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).


4

The formula  \(\vec{F_{g}} = { Gm_{1}m_{2} \over r^2}\) applies to which of Newton's laws?

66% Answer Correctly

first law of motion

second law of motion

universal gravitation

third law of motion


Solution

Newton's law of universal gravitation defines gravity: All objects in the universe attract each other with an equal force that varies directly as a product of their masses, and inversely as a square of their distance from each other. Expressed as a formula:  \(\vec{F_{g}} = { Gm_{1}m_{2} \over r^2}\) where r is the distance between the two objects and G is the gravitational constant with a value of 6.67 x 10-11.


5

The crust and upper mantle of the earth is called the:

62% Answer Correctly

geosphere

lithosphere

atmosphere

hydrosphere


Solution

The biosphere is the global ecological system integrating all living beings and their relationships. This includes their interactions with the lithosphere (the rigid outer part of the earth, consisting of the crust and upper mantle), hydrosphere (all surface water), and atmosphere (the envelope of gases surrounding the planet).
