1

Which of the following is the formula for work?

47% Answer Correctly

\(W = {{F}\over{d}}\)

\(W = {F}{d}\)

\(W = \vec{F}\vec{d}\)

\(W = {\vec{F} \over \vec{d} }\)


Solution

Work is performed on an object when an applied force causes displacement along the same vector. Measured in joules (J) or newton-meter (Nm), work is calculated by multiplying force times displacement:  \(W = \vec{F}\vec{d}\)


2

What is the body's largest artery?

72% Answer Correctly

vena cava

capillary

arteriole

aorta


Solution

The aorta is the body's largest artery and receives blood from the pulmonary vein via the left ventricle. From there, blood is circulated through the rest of the body through smaller arteries called arterioles that branch out from the heart. Finally, blood is delivered to bodily tissues through capillaries.


3

Which of the following is igneous rock?

68% Answer Correctly

marble

shale

granite

sandstone


Solution

The Earth's rocks fall into three categories based on how they're formed. Igneous rock (granite, basalt, obsidian) is formed from the hardening of molten rock (lava), sedimentary rock (shale, sandstone, coal) is formed by the gradual despositing and cementing of rock and other debris, and metamorphic rock (marble, slate, quartzite) which is formed when existing rock is altered though pressure, temperature, or chemical processes.


4

This skeletal system is common in arthropods like insects, spiders, and crustaceans.

81% Answer Correctly

vertebrate

exoskeleton

endoskeleton

bone


Solution

An exoskeleton (external skeleton) is common in arthropods like insects, spiders, and crustaceans.


5

The crust and lithosphere of the Earth is made up of which of the following?

58% Answer Correctly

sedimentary rock

metamorphic rock

continents

plates


Solution

The crust and the rigid lithosphere (upper mantle) is made up approximately thirty separate plates. These plates more very slowly on the slightly more liquid mantle (asthenosphere) beneath them. This movement has resulted in continental drift which is the gradual movement of land masses across Earth's surface. Continental drift is a very slow process, occurring over hundreds of millions of years.
