1

Changes to an object's speed or direction of motion are caused by which of the following?

72% Answer Correctly

kinetic energy

a force

power

work


Solution

Force is applied to change an object's speed or direction of motion.


2

As part of digestion, the liver produces bile which breaks down:

64% Answer Correctly

protein

starches

fat

sugars


Solution

The liver produces bile which emulsifies (separates) fat.


3

As a cold front moves into an area, the heavier cool air __________ the lighter warm air that it is replacing.

65% Answer Correctly

pushes under

cancels out

pushes above

mixes with


Solution

A cold front is a warm-cold air boundary with the colder air replacing the warmer. As a cold front moves into an area, the heavier cool air pushes under the lighter warm air that it is replacing. The warm air becomes cooler as it rises and, if the rising air is humid enough, the water vapor it contains will condense into clouds and precipitation may fall.


4

The gravitational interaction of Earth and the Moon is responsible for which of these?

77% Answer Correctly

day and night cycle

tides

seasons

the northern lights


Solution

Tides are caused by the gravitational interaction of Earth and the Moon.


5

Velocity is the rate at which an object changes position. What is the formula for velocity? 

68% Answer Correctly

none of these

\(\vec{v} = { t \over \vec{d} } \)

\(\vec{v} = \vec{d}t \)

\(\vec{v} = { \vec{d} \over t } \)


Solution

Velocity is the rate at which an object changes position. Rate is measured in time and position is measured in displacement so the formula for velocity becomes  \(\vec{v} = { \vec{d} \over t } \)
