2

The ozone layer is in which of Earth's atmospheric layers?

66% Answer Correctly

stratosphere

mesosphere

troposphere

thermosphere


Solution

The stratosphere is just above the troposphere and is stratified in temperature with warmer layers higher and cooler layers closer to Earth. This increase in temperature is a result of absorption of the Sun's radiation by the ozone layer.


3

Which of the following is the formula for work?

47% Answer Correctly

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

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

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

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


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:  \(W = \vec{F}\vec{d}\)


4

Convert -20C° to F°.

54% Answer Correctly

78

-4

-36

36


Solution

To convert from C° to F° use:

\(F° = {9 \over 5}C° + 32\)

\(F° = {9 \over 5}(-20) + 32\)

\(F° = {-180 \over 5} + 32\)

\(F° = -36 + 32 = -4\)


5

During digestion, after proteins are broken down where does the undigested food go next?

53% Answer Correctly

stomach

small intestine

esophagus

large intestine


Solution

Food is mixed with gastric acid and pepsin in the stomach to help break down protein.
