1

Velocity is the rate at which an object changes position. What is the formula for velocity? 

68% Answer Correctly

\(\vec{v} = \vec{d}t \)

\(\vec{v} = { t \over \vec{d} } \)

none of these

\(\vec{v} = { \vec{d} \over t } \)


Solution

Velocity is the rate at which an object changes position. Rate is measured in time and position is measured in displacement so the formula for velocity becomes  \(\vec{v} = { \vec{d} \over t } \) 


2

An element in the physical state of __________ maintains neither a constant volume nor a constant shape.

75% Answer Correctly

plasma

gas

liquid

solid


Solution

The gaseous state occurs at a higher temperature range than the solid and liquid states of the same substance. In this state, molecules flow very freely around each other and will spread out as far as they're able. Gases maintain neither a constant volume nor a constant shape.


3

Poor balance could indicate an issue with which part of the nervous system?

64% Answer Correctly

cerebrum

cerebellum

medulla

spinal cord


Solution

The cerebellum is a large cluster of nerves at the base of the brain that's responsible for balance, movement, and muscle coordination.


4

In the metric system, what prefix represents 10-3?

62% Answer Correctly

kilo

mega

milli

centi


Solution

In the metric system, milli is the prefix for 10-3.


5

Earth's troposphere layer is which of the following?

73% Answer Correctly

coldest

hottest

closest to the surface

farthest from the surface


Solution

The Earth's atmosphere has several layers starting with the troposphere which is closest in proximity to the surface. Containing most of the Earth's breathable air (oxygen and nitrogen), it's a region with warmer temperatures closer to the surface and cooler temperatures farther away which results in the rising and falling air that generates weather.
