1

Which of the following is the correct order for types of radiation from lowest to highest frequency?

63% Answer Correctly

infrared waves → microwaves → ultraviolet light

microwaves → radio waves → visible light

radio waves → visible light → gamma rays

visible light → ultraviolet light → radio waves


Solution

The electromagnetic spectrum covers all possible wavelengths and frequencies of radiation.  From lowest frequency (longest wavelength) to highest frequency (shortest wavelength) radiation: radio waves → microwaves → infrared waves → visible light → ultraviolet light → X-rays → gamma rays.


2

Work is measured in:

75% Answer Correctly

joules or newton-meters

watts

horsepower

amps


Solution

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


3

Molecules and atoms that are outputs from a chemical reaction are known as which of the following?

56% Answer Correctly

products

side effects

reactants

results


Solution

During a chemical reaction molecules and atoms (reactants) are rearranged into new combinations that result in new kinds of atoms or molecules (products).


4

During digestion, after proteins are broken down where does the undigested food go next?

53% Answer Correctly

esophagus

small intestine

large intestine

stomach


Solution

Food is mixed with gastric acid and pepsin in the stomach to help break down protein.


5

The heart __________ blood.

61% Answer Correctly

creates

filters

oxygenates

deoxygenates


Solution

To provide oxygen to the body, blood flows through the heart in a path formed by the right atrium → right ventricle → lungs → left atrium → left ventricle → body. When blood enters the right side of the heart it is deoxygenated. It enters the left side of the heart oxygenated after traveling to the lungs.
