Which of the following is not true about simple magnets?

62% Answer Correctly

	same poles repel each other
	opposite poles attract each other
	opposite poles repel each other
	all of these are untrue

Solution

Simple magnets have two poles, north and south, and opposite poles attract each other (N attracts S, S attracts N). Likewise, the same pole of two magnets repel (N repels N, S repels S). The Earth has a magnetic field and North and South Poles which enables the use of a magnetic compass to determine direction.

Meteoroids, meteors and meteorites are categorized based on which of the following?

45% Answer Correctly

	their location

Smaller rocks shed by asteroids and comets are called meteoroids. When these rocks reach Earth's atmosphere, they burn up in the mesosphere and become meteors. If a meteor manages to reach the Earth, it is called a meteorite.

Veins __________ blood at __________ pressure.

49% Answer Correctly

	deoxygenated, low
	deoxygenated, high
	oxygenated, low
	oxygenated, high

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.
