1

Which of Earth's layers has weather?

63% Answer Correctly

thermosphere

stratosphere

mesosphere

troposphere


Solution

The Earth's atmosphere has several layers starting with the troposphere which is closest in proximity to the surface. Containing most of the Earth's breathable air (oxygen and nitrogen), it's a region with warmer temperatures closer to the surface and cooler temperatures farther away which results in the rising and falling air that generates weather.


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?

60% Answer Correctly

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

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

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

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

Menstruation occurs when:

76% Answer Correctly

the ovum becomes fertilized

the zygote is formed

the fetus is formed 

the ovum fails to become fertilized


Solution

If the ovum fails to become fertilized, the lining of the uterus sloughs off during menstruation. From puberty to menopause, this cycle of menstruation repeats monthly (except during pregnancy).


4

Which of the following states of matter exists at the lowest temperature?

71% Answer Correctly

liquid

solid

gas

none of these


Solution

Solids exist at a lower temperature than liquids which exist at a lower temperature than gases.


5

When compared to eukaryotic cells, prokaryotic cells are:

60% Answer Correctly

similarly complex

less complex

more complex

none of these


Solution

Cells are classified into one of two groups based on whether or not they have a nucleus. Eukaryotic cells have a nucleus, prokaryotic cells do not have a nucleus and therefore have a less complex structure than eukaryotic cells.
