1

Work is measured in:

75% Answer Correctly

amps

horsepower

joules or newton-meters

watts


Solution

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


2

In the Periodic Table of the Elements, atomic number is equal to which of the following?

63% Answer Correctly

number of electrons orbiting the nucleus

number of protons in the nucleus

number of neutrons in the nucleus

number of protons + neutrons in the nucleus


Solution

The Periodic Table of the Elements categorizes elements primarily by the number of protons in their nucleus (atomic number) and secondarily by the characteristics they exhibit.


3

Veins __________ blood at __________ pressure.

49% Answer Correctly

deoxygenated, high

oxygenated, low

oxygenated, high

deoxygenated, low


Solution

Veins carry blood back to the heart from the body. While arteries are thick-walled because they carry oxygenated blood at high pressure, veins are comparatively thin-walled as they carry low-pressure deoxygenated blood. Like the heart, veins contain valves to prevent blood backflow.


4

Minerals, vitamins, and fiber are:

69% Answer Correctly

proteins

micronutrients

macronutrients

carbohydrates


Solution

Minterals, vitamins, and fiber are micronutrients while proteins, carbohydrates, and fats are macronutrients.


5

Poor balance could indicate an issue with which part of the nervous system?

64% Answer Correctly

cerebrum

cerebellum

spinal cord

medulla


Solution

The cerebellum is a large cluster of nerves at the base of the brain that's responsible for balance, movement, and muscle coordination.
