1

The two heart chambers that collect blood are called:

46% Answer Correctly

ventricles

aorta

atria

valves


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.


2

__________ is caused by a lack of Vitamin C.

64% Answer Correctly

anemia

diabetes

scurvy

shingles


Solution

Scurvy is a difficiency disease caused by a lack of Vitamin C in the diet.

"The acceleration of an object as produced by a net force is directly proportional to the magnitude of the net force, in the same direction as the net force, and inversely proportional to the mass of the object." This describes which of Newton's laws of motion?

64% Answer Correctly

fourth

third

first

second


Solution

Newton's second law of motion states that The acceleration of an object as produced by a net force is directly proportional to the magnitude of the net force, in the same direction as the net force, and inversely proportional to the mass of the object. This law basically means that the greater the mass of an object, the more force is needed to overcome its inertia.


4

Which of the following is the primary difference between a comet and an asteroid?

46% Answer Correctly

asteroids contain frozen water

asteroids have a coma

comets have an atmosphere

comets orbit the Sun


Solution

A comet is a loose collection of ice, dust, and small rocky particles that, in contrast to an asteroid, has an extended atmosphere surrounding the center. When passing close to the Sun, this atmosphere warms and begins to release gases forming a visible coma or tail.


5

Which of the following is not true about mass and weight?

55% Answer Correctly

mass depends on the location where it is measured

weight depends on the location where it is measured

mass is the amount of matter something has

weight is the force exerted on an object by gravity


Solution

Mass is the amount of matter something has while weight is the force exerted on an object's mass by gravity.  So, although a person's mass doesn't change when going from the Earth to the Moon, their weight will decrease because the force of the Moon's gravity is much less than that of Earth.
