minerals

habitats

Water coming to a boil on a stove, ice melting, and steam from a cup of coffee are all examples of which of the following? 

66% Answer Correctly

radiation

reflection

conduction

convection


Solution

Convection is the transfer of heat by the circulation or movement of the heated parts of a liquid or gas.

Which of blood component fights infection?

89% Answer Correctly

plasma

white blood cells

red blood cells

platelets

Blood is created in bone marrow and is made up of cells suspended in liquid plasma. Red blood cells carry oxygen, white blood cells fight infection, and platelets are cell fragments that allow blood to clot.


4

Which of the following is metamorphic rock?

52% Answer Correctly

granite

coal

obsidian

marble


Solution

The Earth's rocks fall into three categories based on how they're formed. Igneous rock (granite, basalt, obsidian) is formed from the hardening of molten rock (lava), sedimentary rock (shale, sandstone, coal) is formed by the gradual despositing and cementing of rock and other debris, and metamorphic rock (marble, slate, quartzite) which is formed when existing rock is altered though pressure, temperature, or chemical processes.


5

Which of the following is the formula for work?

47% Answer Correctly

\(W = {{F}\over{d}}\)

\(W = \vec{F}\vec{d}\)

\(W = {F}{d}\)

\(W = {\vec{F} \over \vec{d} }\)


Solution

Work is performed on an object when an applied force causes displacement along the same vector. Measured in joules (J) or newton-meter (Nm), work is calculated by multiplying force times displacement:  \(W = \vec{F}\vec{d}\)
