Mercury

Jupiter

Venus


Solution

The four planets closest to the Sun (Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars) are called terrestrial (Earth-like) planets because, like the Earth, they're solid with inner metal cores covered by rocky surfaces.


3

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

58% Answer Correctly

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

1 mph 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.


4

During digestion, where is digested food absorbed into the blood stream?

66% Answer Correctly

small intestine

pancreas

large intestine

stomach


Solution

The small intestine is where most digestion takes place. As food travels along the small intestine it gets broken down completely by enzymes secreted from the walls. These enzymes are produced in the small intestine as well as in the pancreas and liver. After the enzymes break down the food, the resulting substances are then absorbed into the blood via capillaries in the small intestine walls.


5

Convert 0C° to F°.

72% Answer Correctly

32

16

0

-32


Solution

To convert from C° to F° use:

\(F° = {9 \over 5}C° + 32\)

\(F° = {9 \over 5}(0) + 32\)

\(F° = 0 + 32 = 32\)
