1

Which of these is important for the body's maintenance, growth, and repair?

88% Answer Correctly

fiber

protein

carbohydrates

fats


Solution

Found in both animal sources (meat, fish, eggs, cheese) and vegetables (beans, nuts, some grains), proteins are important for the body's maintenance, growth, and repair.


2

The formula for acceleration is which of the following?

56% Answer Correctly

\(\vec{a} = { \vec{F} \over m }\)

\(\vec{a} = \vec{F} m\)

\(\vec{a} = { m \over F }\)

\(\vec{a} = { m \over \vec{F} }\)


Solution

Newton's second law of motion leads to the formula for acceleration which is a measure of the rate of change of velocity per unit time and, if you solve for positive acceleration, reveals how much net force is needed to overcome an object's mass.  The formula for acceleration is  \(\vec{a} = { \vec{F} \over m }\) or, solving for force,  \(\vec{F} = m\vec{a}\).


3

Cirrus clouds generally occur in what kind of weather?

51% Answer Correctly

fair

hot

stormy

freezing


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.


4

An air mass is a large body of air that has which of the following characteristics?

87% Answer Correctly

all of these

similar moisture

similar temperature

similar density


Solution

An air mass is a large body of air that has similar moisture (density) and temperature characteristics. A front is a transition zone between two air masses.


5

All surface water is part of the:

76% Answer Correctly

atmosphere

geosphere

lithosphere

hydrosphere


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).
