1

Velocity is the rate at which an object changes position. What is the formula for velocity? 

68% Answer Correctly

\(\vec{v} = { \vec{d} \over t } \)

\(\vec{v} = { t \over \vec{d} } \)

none of these

\(\vec{v} = \vec{d}t \)


Solution

Velocity is the rate at which an object changes position. Rate is measured in time and position is measured in displacement so the formula for velocity becomes  \(\vec{v} = { \vec{d} \over t } \) 


2

Examples of secondary consumers include:

52% Answer Correctly

chickens

wolves

grasshoppers

plankton


Solution

Secondary consumers (carnivores) subsist mainly on primary consumers. Omnivores are secondary consumers that also eat producers. Examples are rats, fish, and chickens.


3

The envelope of gases surrounding the planet is called the:

71% Answer Correctly

lithosphere

hydrosphere

geosphere

atmosphere


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).


4

Materials like metals that transfer heat efficiently are called:

82% Answer Correctly

insulators

conductors

refractors

reflectors


Solution

Heat is always transferred from warmer to cooler environments and conduction is the simplest way this transfer can occur. It is accomplished through direct contact between materials and materials like metals that transfer heat efficiently are called conductors while those that conduct heat poorly, such as plastic, are called insulators.


5

Blood is delivered to bodily tissues through:

48% Answer Correctly

arterioles

capillaries

plasma

veins


Solution

The aorta is the body's largest artery and receives blood from the pulmonary vein via the left ventricle. From there, blood is circulated through the rest of the body through smaller arteries called arterioles that branch out from the heart. Finally, blood is delivered to bodily tissues through capillaries.
