1

What kind of weather front is likely to create clouds and storms?

58% Answer Correctly

cold front 

warm front

temperate front

stationary front


Solution

A warm front is the boundary between warm and cool (or cold) air when the warm air is replacing the cold air. Warm air at the surface pushes above the cool air mass creating clouds and storms.


2

The energy posessed by a thrown baseball is an example of what kind of energy?

79% Answer Correctly

kinetic

gravitational

transitional

potential


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

Which of the following is the formula for power?

56% Answer Correctly

\(P = {w \over t}\)

\(P = w t\)

\(P = {\vec{w} \over t}\)

\(P = \vec{w}t\)


Solution

Power is the rate at which work is performed or work per unit time:  \(P = {w \over t}\)  and is measured in watts (W).


4

Which of these does not contain oxygenated blood?

47% Answer Correctly

left ventricle

right atrium

aorta

pulmonary vein


Solution

To provide oxygen to the body, blood flows through the heart in a path formed by the right atrium → right ventricle → lungs → left atrium → left ventricle → body. When blood enters the right side of the heart it is deoxygenated. It enters the left side of the heart oxygenated after traveling to the lungs.


5

In taxonomy, domains are the broadest classification of life. How many domains are there?

60% Answer Correctly

6

5

3

dozens
