1

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

59% Answer Correctly

stationary front

warm front

cold front 

temperate 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.


2

Momentum is a measure of how difficult it is for a moving object to stop. Which of the following is the formula for momentum?

62% Answer Correctly

\(\vec{p} = { \vec{v} \over m}\)

\(\vec{p} = m\vec{v}\)

\(\vec{p} = {m \over \vec{v}}\)

none of these


Solution

Momentum is a measure of how difficult it is for a moving object to stop and is calculated by multiplying the object's mass by its velocity:  \(\vec{p} = m\vec{v}\).  Like velocity, momentum is a vector quantity as it expresses force applied in a specific direction.


3

The energy posessed by a ball on the window ledge of a tall building is an example of what kind of energy?

66% Answer Correctly

inherent

potential

gravitational

kinetic


Solution

Kinetic energy is the energy posessed by a moving object. Potential energy is stored energy in a stationary object based on its location, position, shape, or state.


4

Which of the following substances gives up positively charged hydrogen ions (H+) when dissolved in water?

55% Answer Correctly

acid

alkaline

solution

base


Solution

An acid is a substance that gives up positively charged hydrogen ions (H+) when dissolved in water. A base (alkaline) gives up negatively charged hydroxide ions (OH-) when dissolved in water. pH is a scale that measures of how basic or acidic a solution is. Numbered from 0 to 14, solutions with a pH of 7 are neutral, less than 7 are acidic, more than 7 are alkaline.


5

Antigens in the blood determine:

53% Answer Correctly

Rh factor

blood type

negative or positive status

blood oxygen capacity


Solution

Blood is categorized into four different types (A, B, AB, and O) based on the type of antigens found on the outside of the red blood cells. Additionally, each type can be negative or positive based on whether or not the cells have an antigen called the Rh factor.
