1

The angle of reflection is equal to which the following?

48% Answer Correctly

focal point

90°

refractive index

angle of incidence


Solution

The law of reflection specifies how waves, including light waves, bounce off of surfaces. Specifically, the angle of incidence of the approaching wave is equal to the angle of reflection of the reflected wave as measured from a line perpendicular (90°) to the surface.


2

Which of Earth's layers has weather?

64% Answer Correctly

mesosphere

stratosphere

thermosphere

troposphere


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.


3

What type of cloud is responsible for fog?

63% Answer Correctly

cirrus

cumulonimbus

stratus

cumulus


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.


4

The two heart chambers that collect blood are called:

47% Answer Correctly

atria

aorta

valves

ventricles


Solution

The heart is the organ that drives the circulatory system. In humans, it consists of four chambers with two that collect blood called atria and two that pump blood called ventricles. The heart's valves prevent blood pumped out of the ventricles from flowing back into the heart.


5

"For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction." This describes which of Newton's laws of motion?

70% Answer Correctly

fourth

third

second

first


Solution

Newton's third law of motion states that For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. When an object exerts a force on another object, the second object exerts a force of equal magnitude in the opposite direction on the first object.
