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

gravitational

kinetic

potential

inherent


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.


2

A human heart consists of how many chambers?

84% Answer Correctly

1

8

2

4


Solution

The heart is the organ that drives the circulatory system. In humans, it consists of four chambers with two that collect blood called atria and two that pump blood called ventricles. The heart's valves prevent blood pumped out of the ventricles from flowing back into the heart.


3

Which of the following is the correct order for types of radiation from lowest to highest frequency?

63% Answer Correctly

visible light → ultraviolet light → radio waves

infrared waves → microwaves → ultraviolet light

radio waves → visible light → gamma rays

microwaves → radio waves → visible light


Solution

The electromagnetic spectrum covers all possible wavelengths and frequencies of radiation.  From lowest frequency (longest wavelength) to highest frequency (shortest wavelength) radiation: radio waves → microwaves → infrared waves → visible light → ultraviolet light → X-rays → gamma rays.


4

When two air masses meet and neither is displaced, what kind of front is present?

75% Answer Correctly

occluded

cold

stationary

warm 


Solution

When two air masses meet and neither is displaced, a stationary front is created. Stationary fronts often cause persistent cloudy wet weather.


5

The Rh factor antigen in blood determines:

57% Answer Correctly

postive or negative

universal donor status

blood type

universal recipient status


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.
