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

58% Answer Correctly

1 mph to a mass of 1 kg

1 m/s to a mass of 1 kg

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

1 m/s2 to a mass of 1 kg


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.

68% Answer Correctly

solid

none of these

In the classification of life, which of the following is not a kingdom?

63% Answer Correctly

animals

plants

bacteria

fungi


Solution

Below domain, life is classified into six kingdoms: plants, animals, archaebacteria, eubacteria, and fungi. The last kingdom, protists, include all microscopic organisms that are not bacteria, animals, plants or fungi.  (Archaebacteria and eubacteria are sometimes combined into a single kingdom, monera.)


4

Which of the following is related to the Cambrian Explosion?

58% Answer Correctly

first civilizations

extinction of dinosaurs

carbon dating

fossil record


Solution

The Cambrian period is one of the most significant geological time periods. Lasting about 53 million years, it marked a dramatic burst of changes in life on Earth known as the Cambrian Explosion. It is from this period that the majority of the history of life on Earth, as documented by fossils, is found. Called the fossil record, the layering of these mineralized imprints of organisms preserved in sedementary rock have allowed geologists to build a historical record of plant and animal life on Earth.

74% Answer Correctly

cumulus clouds

fog

stratus clouds

cirrus clouds


Solution

Cumulus clouds are large, puffy, mid-altitude clouds with a flat base and a rounded top. These clouds grow upward and can develop into a cumulonimbus or thunderstorm cloud.
