Solution

The Sun is a G-type main-sequence star (G2V) but is informally known as a yellow dwarf star. Composed of 73% hydrogen and 25% helium, the hot plasma that makes up the Sun reaches 9,900°F (5,505°C) at the surface. It formed approximately 4.6 billion years ago and makes up 99.86% of the mass in the solar system.

What kind of weather front is likely to create clouds and storms?

58% Answer Correctly

warm front

cold front 

temperate front

stationary front


Solution

A warm front is the boundary between warm and cool (or cold) air when the warm air is replacing the cold air. Warm air at the surface pushes above the cool air mass creating clouds and storms.


4

Which of the following is the formula for power?

56% Answer Correctly

\(P = {w \over t}\)

\(P = \vec{w}t\)

\(P = w t\)

\(P = {\vec{w} \over t}\)


Solution

Power is the rate at which work is performed or work per unit time:  \(P = {w \over t}\)  and is measured in watts (W).


5

Which of blood component allows blood to clot?

74% Answer Correctly

white blood cells

platelets

plasma
