1

Cirrus clouds generally occur in what kind of weather?

51% Answer Correctly

hot

freezing

stormy

fair


Solution

Cirrus clouds are thin, wispy high-altitude clouds composed of ice crystals that originate from the freezing of supercooled water droplets. Cirrus clouds generally occur in fair weather and point in the direction of air movement at their elevation.


2

65% Answer Correctly

anemia

scurvy

diabetes


Solution

3

All surface water is part of the:

76% 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

Work is measured in:

75% Answer Correctly

joules or newton-meters

amps

watts

horsepower


Solution

Work is performed on an object when an applied force causes displacement along the same vector. Measured in joules (J) or newton-meters (Nm), work is calculated by multiplying force times displacement:  \(W = \vec{F}\vec{d}\)


5

Which of the following is not true about mass and weight?

55% Answer Correctly

mass depends on the location where it is measured

weight is the force exerted on an object by gravity

weight depends on the location where it is measured

mass is the amount of matter something has


Solution

Mass is the amount of matter something has while weight is the force exerted on an object's mass by gravity.  So, although a person's mass doesn't change when going from the Earth to the Moon, their weight will decrease because the force of the Moon's gravity is much less than that of Earth.
