"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

second

third

first

fourth

2

The process of diffusion allows __________ to exchange oxygen, carbon dioxide, nutrients, and waste between blood and the body's cells.

57% Answer Correctly

capillaries

arteries

veins

red blood cells


Solution

Capillaries are small thin-walled vessels that permit the exchange of oxygen, carbon dioxide, nutrients, and waste between blood and the body's cells. This process of exchange is called diffusion.


3

Which of the following describes the Earth's mantle?

81% Answer Correctly

dense

all of these

makes up most of Earth's volume

hot


Solution

Mantle makes up 84% of the Earth's volume and has an average thickness of approximately 1,800 miles (2,900 km). It is dense, hot, and primarily solid although in places it behaves more like a viscous fluid as the plates of the upper mantle and crust gradually "float" along its circumference.


4

The ovum and oviduct are part of which bodily system?

87% Answer Correctly

reproductive

circulatory

digestive

nervous


Solution

Approximately every 28 days during female ovulation an egg (ovum) is released from one of the ovaries and travels through the oviduct (fallopian tube) and into the uterus. At the same time, the endometrial lining of the uterus becomes prepared for implantation.


5

Which is the proper order of Earth's atmospheric layers from the surface up to space?

57% Answer Correctly

thermosphere, mesosphere, stratosphere, troposphere

troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere

stratosphere, troposphere, mesosphere, thermosphere

mesosphere, thermosphere, stratosphere, troposphere


Solution

The troposphere is the closest layer to Earth, followed by the stratosphere, mesosphere, and finally the thermosphere which borders space.
