1

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

59% Answer Correctly

1 m/s to a mass of 1 kg

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

1 mph to a mass of 1 kg

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.


2

These clouds grow upward and can develop into cumulonimbus or thunderstorm clouds.

70% Answer Correctly

nimbus clouds

stratus clouds

cumulus 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.


3

Gametes have how many pairs of chromosomes?

76% Answer Correctly

23

2

4

46


Solution

Reproductive (haploid) cells known as gametes have half as many (23) pairs of chromosomes as normal (diploid) cells. When the male gamete (sperm) combines with the female gamete (ovum) through meiosis to form a zygote, each gamete supplies half the chromosomes needed to form the normal diploid cells.


4

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

products

isotopes

ions

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.


5

In the metric system, what prefix represents 103?

61% Answer Correctly

mega

milli

kilo

centi


Solution

Kilo is the metric system prefix for 103.
