1

The dwarf planet Pluto is located where?

63% Answer Correctly

in the asteroid belt

between the orbits of Jupiter and Saturn

outside the solar system

in the Kuiper Belt


Solution

The Kuiper Belt is similar to the asteroid belt but much larger. Extending beyond the orbit of Neptune, it contains objects composed mostly of frozen methane, ammonia, and water. Most notably, the Kuiper Belt is home to Pluto, a dwarf planet that, until a 2006 reclassification, was considered the ninth planet of the solar system.


2

In the classification of life, which of the following is not a domain?

59% Answer Correctly

archaea

bacteria

eukaryota

animalia


Solution

The broadest classification of life splits all organisms into three groups called domains. The three domains of life are bacteria, archaea and eukaryota.


3

Force is measured in newtons (N) with 1 N being the force required to impart an acceleration of:

59% Answer Correctly

1 mph to a mass of 1 kg

1 m/s to a mass of 1 kg

1 m/s2 to a mass of 1 kg/s2

1 m/s2 to a mass of 1 kg


Solution

Weight is a force that describes the attraction of gravity on an object. Force is measured in newtons (N) with 1 N being the force required to impart an acceleration of 1 m/s2 to a mass of 1 kg.


4

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

55% Answer Correctly

mass depends on the location where it is measured

mass is the amount of matter something has

weight depends on the location where it is measured

weight is the force exerted on an object by gravity


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.


5

Which of these is matter than cannot be separated into different types of matter by ordinary chemical methods?

49% Answer Correctly

compound

element

molecule

atom


Solution

An element is matter than cannot be separated into different types of matter by ordinary chemical methods.
