1

What type of cloud is responsible for fog?

62% Answer Correctly

cumulus

cumulonimbus

stratus

cirrus


Solution

Clouds are categorized based on their shape, size, and altitude. Stratus clouds are low-altitude clouds characterized by horizontal layering with a broad flat base. When stratus clouds occur on the ground the result is fog.


2

The formula  \(\vec{F_{g}} = { Gm_{1}m_{2} \over r^2}\) applies to which of Newton's laws?

65% Answer Correctly

third law of motion

second law of motion

universal gravitation

first law of motion


Solution

Newton's law of universal gravitation defines gravity: All objects in the universe attract each other with an equal force that varies directly as a product of their masses, and inversely as a square of their distance from each other. Expressed as a formula:  \(\vec{F_{g}} = { Gm_{1}m_{2} \over r^2}\) where r is the distance between the two objects and G is the gravitational constant with a value of 6.67 x 10-11.


3

Water freezing or boiling is an example of which of the following?

79% Answer Correctly

sublimation

cooling

phase transition

heating


Solution

A substance undergoes a phase transition when it moves from one state of matter to another, for example, when water freezes or boils.


4

Which of blood component carries oxygen?

83% Answer Correctly

white blood cells

plasma

red blood cells

platelets


Solution

Blood is created in bone marrow and is made up of cells suspended in liquid plasma. Red blood cells carry oxygen, white blood cells fight infection, and platelets are cell fragments that allow blood to clot.


5

Molecules and atoms that are inputs to a chemical reaction are known as which of the following?

63% Answer Correctly

components

products

reactants

fuel


Solution

During a chemical reaction molecules and atoms (reactants) are rearranged into new combinations that result in new kinds of atoms or molecules (products).
