When the clouds become too saturated with water, the water is released as precipitation in the form of:

29% Answer Correctly

rain

snow or ice

ice

snow

2

In the Periodic Table of the Elements, atomic number is equal to which of the following?

63% Answer Correctly

number of protons + neutrons in the nucleus

number of neutrons in the nucleus

number of protons in the nucleus

number of electrons orbiting the nucleus


Solution

The Periodic Table of the Elements categorizes elements primarily by the number of protons in their nucleus (atomic number) and secondarily by the characteristics they exhibit.


3

Force is measured in newtons (N) with 1 N being the force required to impart an acceleration of:

58% Answer Correctly

1 m/s to a mass of 1 kg

1 m/s2 to a mass of 1 kg

1 mph to a mass of 1 kg

1 m/s2 to a mass of 1 kg/s2


Solution

Weight is a force that describes the attraction of gravity on an object. Force is measured in newtons (N) with 1 N being the force required to impart an acceleration of 1 m/s2 to a mass of 1 kg.


4

Cirrus clouds generally occur in what kind of weather?

51% Answer Correctly

hot

freezing

stormy

fair


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.

In the foood chain, producers serve as a food source for other organisms. Typical producers are plants that can make their own food through photosynthesis and certain bacteria that are capable of converting inorganic substances into food through:

47% Answer Correctly

autotrophs

photosynthesis

decomposition

chemosynthesis


Solution

Producers (autotrophs) serve as a food source for other organisms. Typical producers are plants that can make their own food through photosynthesis and certain bacteria that are capable of converting inorganic substances into food through chemosynthesis
