1

Blood is created in:

68% Answer Correctly

bone marrow

red blood cells

the liver

the heart


Solution

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.


2

Atoms of an element whose atoms can vary in the number of neutrons in their nucleus are called which of the following?

64% Answer Correctly

isotopes

ions

products

reactants


Solution

The atomic mass of an element listed in the Periodic Table represents the average mass of a single atom of that element and is measured in atomic mass units (amu). This number is an average as some elements have isotopes with atoms that vary in their number of neturons and, therefore, differ in weight.


3

Which of the following is the formula for work?

47% Answer Correctly

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

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

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

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


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:  \(W = \vec{F}\vec{d}\)


4

The four planets closest to the Sun are called terrestrial. What does terrestrial mean?

74% Answer Correctly

the planets have water

the planets have magnetic fields

the planets have moons

the planets are Earth-like


Solution

The four planets closest to the Sun (Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars) are called terrestrial (Earth-like) planets because, like the Earth, they're solid with inner metal cores covered by rocky surfaces.


5

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

79% Answer Correctly

gravitational

potential

transitional

kinetic


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.
