1

These clouds grow upward and can develop into cumulonimbus or thunderstorm clouds.

69% Answer Correctly

nimbus clouds

cirrus clouds

stratus clouds

cumulus clouds


Solution

Cumulus clouds are large, puffy, mid-altitude clouds with a flat base and a rounded top. These clouds grow upward and can develop into a cumulonimbus or thunderstorm cloud.


2

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

75% Answer Correctly

stationary

warm 

cold

occluded


Solution

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


3

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity per unit of time. Which of these is the formula for acceleration?

59% Answer Correctly

\(\vec{a} = { t \over \Delta \vec{v} }\)

\(\vec{a} = { \Delta \vec{v} \over t }\)

\(\vec{a} = { \vec{v} \over t }\)

\(\vec{a} = \Delta \vec{v} t \)


Solution

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity per unit of time. In physics, the delta symbol (\(\Delta\)) represents change so the formula for acceleration becomes  \(\vec{a} = { \Delta \vec{v} \over t }\)


4

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

none of these

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

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

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


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.


5

Heredity is the passing on of physical or mental characteristics genetically from one __________ to another.

81% Answer Correctly

species

generation

cell

family


Solution

Heredity is the passing on of physical or mental characteristics genetically from one generation to another. Heredity is made possible via large strings of chromosomes which carry information encoded in genes.
