5047You are playing a backyard game of catch with your daughter. She notices that if she
throws the ball faster, it goes higher, and asks why. Which of the following best explains why in
terms of the energy?
A. A ball thrown faster has more potential energy, to convert to kinetic energy as it goes higher.
B. A ball thrown faster has more kinetic energy, to convert to potential energy as it goes higher.
C. A ball thrown faster does more work so it goes higher.
D. A ball thrown faster has more heat energy so it can go higher. - Answer✔Answer
Explanation : Answer B is the correct answer. Kinetic energy is related to how fast it is moving,
and gravitational potential energy is related to how high it is. As the ball goes up, the kinetic
energy changes into potential energy. As it falls back down the potential energy is converted
back to kinetic
5048In some areas people like to fire guns in the air to celebrate. Is this a dangerous practice in a
populated area?
A. Yes. The bullet picks up speed as it falls back down so it reaches the ground level traveling
much faster than its initial speed.
B. No. The bullet uses all its energy going up, so it falls slowly with very little energy.
C. Yes. The bullet's energy goes from kinetic, to potential, then back to kinetic so it reaches the
ground level with its initial speed.

D. No. The bullet loses so much speed going up that it reaches the ground level traveling much
slower than its initial speed. - Answer✔Answer Explanation : Answer C is the correct answer.
Energy is conserved, so the initial kinetic energy is turned into potential energy as it goes up.
Then it turns from potential energy back into kinetic energy as it falls. It then reaches the starting
level with the same kinetic energy, and hence speed, as it when left the gun barrel.
5029Which of the following types of objects is the most distant and energetic?
A. Quasars
B. Supernovas
C. Galaxies
D. Planets - Answer✔Answer Explanation : A is the correct answer. Quasars are the most
distant and energetic objects known in the universe.
5030Which of the following planets has the highest surface temperature?
A. Mercury
B. Venus
C. Earth
D. Mars - Answer✔Answer Explanation : Answer B is the correct answer. The runaway
greenhouse effect on Venus causes an extremely high surface temperature.
5032The outer layer of the Earth that contains the crust is called the
A. Outer core
B. Asthenosphere

C. Lithosphere
D. Mantle - Answer✔Lithosphere.Lithosphere includes the area from the crust to 670 km deep
into the earth.
If a cell has 18 chromosomes in 9 pairs, which of the following represents the changes in total
chromosome number during mitosis and cell division?
A. 18--------9 -----------3
B. 18-------36 -----------9
C. 18-------36 -----------18
D. 18-------9 -----------18 - Answer✔Explanation : Answer C is correct. Chromosome number
will double initially and return to 2n following cell division.
5062The first land plants had to overcome the problem of water loss in order to survive. Which
of the following structures was most important for this?
A. Vascular tissue
B. Stomata on leaves
C. Roots for storage
D. A cuticle layer - Answer✔The first land plants were non-vascular and laced true leaves and
roots. A cuticle is essential for protection and preventing dehydration
5066Which of the following factors affecting populations generally has the least predictable
pattern of effect on a given population?
A. Competition

B. Predation
C. Carrying capacity
D. Environment - Answer✔Factors such as predation and competition generally follow
predictable patterns as resources and population numbers change. Environmental factors such as
major storms floods etc. are often unpredictable and can have dramatic impacts on population
size.
5067Which of the following is not a component of natural selection?
A. Variation exists within species
B. Competition for limited resources
C. Acquired traits are passed down
D. �Selected� individuals leave more offspring - Answer✔Only heritable traits can be acted
upon by natural selection because they are the only ones which can be passed to subsequent
generations
5068The ultimate source of energy affecting climate patterns on earth comes from
A. solar energy.
B. wind and air pressure patterns.
C. ocean currents.
D. geothermal energy - Answer✔Away from the equator, the amount of solar energy reaching
the Earth varies which causes warmer and colder air and ocean currents and drives climate
patterns.
