1

Which of the following is sedimentary rock?

74% Answer Correctly

basalt

slate

obsidian

sandstone


Solution

The Earth's rocks fall into three categories based on how they're formed. Igneous rock (granite, basalt, obsidian) is formed from the hardening of molten rock (lava), sedimentary rock (shale, sandstone, coal) is formed by the gradual despositing and cementing of rock and other debris, and metamorphic rock (marble, slate, quartzite) which is formed when existing rock is altered though pressure, temperature, or chemical processes.


2

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).


3

4

Elements in the Periodic Table of the Elements are ordered by which of the following?

75% Answer Correctly

number of electron shells

atomic weight

atomic number

atomic mass


Solution

The Periodic Table of the Elements categorizes elements primarily by the number of protons in their nucleus (atomic number) and secondarily by the characteristics they exhibit.


5

In a eukaryotic cell, which organelles deal with proteins?

62% Answer Correctly

ribosomes

Golgi apparatus

all of these deal with proteins

endoplasmic reticulum


Solution

The nucleus of a eukaryotic cell contains the genetic material of the cell and is surrounded by cytoplasm which contains many organelles. Ribosomes produce proteins, endoplasmic reticulum helps synthesize proteins and fats, and Golgi apparatus prepares proteins for use.
