1

The gravitational interaction of Earth and the Moon is responsible for which of these?

77% Answer Correctly

the northern lights

tides

day and night cycle

seasons


Solution

Tides are caused by the gravitational interaction of Earth and the Moon.


2

The energy posessed by a ball on the window ledge of a tall building is an example of what kind of energy?

66% Answer Correctly

potential

kinetic

inherent

gravitational


Solution

Kinetic energy is the energy posessed by a moving object. Potential energy is stored energy in a stationary object based on its location, position, shape, or state.


3

In the heart, blood flows from the __________ ventricle to the lungs then back to the heart via the __________ atrium.

64% Answer Correctly

left, left

left, right

right, right

right, left


Solution

The two largest veins in the body, the venae cavae, pass blood to the right ventricle which pumps the blood to the lungs through the pulmonary artery. Blood picks up oxygen in the lungs and returns it to the left atrium via the pulmonary vein.


4

Convert 0C° to F°.

72% Answer Correctly

32

-32

16

0


Solution

To convert from C° to F° use:

\(F° = {9 \over 5}C° + 32\)

\(F° = {9 \over 5}(0) + 32\)

\(F° = 0 + 32 = 32\)

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity per unit of time. Which of these is the formula for acceleration?

59% Answer Correctly

\(\vec{a} = { t \over \Delta \vec{v} }\)

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

\(\vec{a} = { \Delta \vec{v} \over t }\)

\(\vec{a} = \Delta \vec{v} t \)


Solution

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity per unit of time. In physics, the delta symbol (\(\Delta\)) represents change so the formula for acceleration becomes  \(\vec{a} = { \Delta \vec{v} \over t }\)
