1

A transition zone between two air masses is called:

71% Answer Correctly

fog

boundary

front

thunderstorm


Solution

An air mass is a large body of air that has similar moisture (density) and temperature characteristics. A front is a transition zone between two air masses.


2

Which of these is not a component of blood?

81% Answer Correctly

plasma

marrow

white blood cells

red blood cells


Solution

Blood is created in bone marrow and is made up of cells suspended in liquid plasma. Red blood cells carry oxygen, white blood cells fight infection, and platelets are cell fragments that allow blood to clot.


3

Velocity is the rate at which an object changes position. What is the formula for velocity? 

68% Answer Correctly

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

none of these

\(\vec{v} = \vec{d}t \)

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


Solution

Velocity is the rate at which an object changes position. Rate is measured in time and position is measured in displacement so the formula for velocity becomes  \(\vec{v} = { \vec{d} \over t } \) 


4

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

75% Answer Correctly

stationary

cold

occluded

warm 


Solution

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


5

Tough fibrous cords of connective tissue that connect muscles to the skeleton are called:

71% Answer Correctly

vertebra

tendons

cartilage

ligaments


Solution

Tough fibrous cords of connective tissue called tendons connect muscles to the skeleton while another type of connective tissue called ligaments connect bones to other bones at joints (elbow, knee, fingers, spinal column).
