"An object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force." This describes which of Newton's laws of motion?

73% Answer Correctly

fourth

first

second

third


Solution

Also known as the law of inertia, Newton's first law of motion states that An object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.


2

The hottest of Earth's atmospheric layers is which of the following?

74% Answer Correctly

mesosphere

stratosphere

thermosphere

troposphere


Solution

Temperatures again increase with altitude in the thermosphere which is the hottest (4,530 °F / 2,500 °C) atmospheric layer due to direct exposure to the Sun's radiation. However, the gas in this layer is highly diluted so even though the atoms of gas may be very high in temperature, there are too few of them to effectively transfer much heat.


3

The __________ nervous system regulates involuntary activity in the heart, stomach, and intestines.

58% Answer Correctly

autonomic

somatic

peripheral

central


Solution

Part of the peripheral nervous system, the autonomic nervous system regulates involuntary activity in the heart, stomach, and intestines.


4

A subatomic particle that orbits the nucleus of an atom. It carries a negative electric charge. This desribes which of the following?

74% Answer Correctly

electron

proton

isotope

neutron


Solution

An electron is a subatomic particle that orbits the nucleus of an atom. It carries a negative electric charge. Generally, an atom has the same number of negative electrons orbiting the nucleus as it does positive protons inside.


5

Which of the following is not a method of heat transfer?

67% Answer Correctly

radiation

convection

conduction

reflection


Solution

Heat is always transferred from warmer to cooler environments through conduction, convection, or radiation.
