1. What particles comprise the nucleus of an atom?

A. Protons and electrons
B. Protons and neutrons
C. Protons only
D. Electrons only

Leaving aside the constituent components of said particles, the answer is B.

2. What phenomenon of fluid dynamics is essentially a frictional force between adjacent layers of a fluid as they move against each other?

A. Lubrication
B. Capillarity

D (the only one I haven't heard before)

4. A force that is applied in a curved path can produce a twisting effect that is also called a _____________.

A. Centrifugal force
B. Torque

D. Normal Force

B

5. A diving board, or any beam which extends beyond its base of support, is called a ________________.

A. Cantilever

You probably wanted B, but what about Hydrogen (the 'standard' H, not isotopic)? Then it would be C.

True. I'll probably rewrite it to change choice C before I use it anywhere else, so there isn't any confusion. This question stemmed from my frustration I felt after my first test in Physics this year, in which more than 25% of my students, juniors and seniors all with at least one year of Chemistry behind them, stated that the nucleus of the atom was made of protons and electrons. IKYN.

Maybe you should find that episode of "WKRP in Cincinnati" in which Venus explains to his nephew about the atom, using street gangs as examples.

Thanks to all for playing. I do notice the percentage of correct answers here is always much higher than any other forum where I post these kinds of questions.

And I didn't even get to play.

Silly all day meeting!

Awwwww!

Mikey should have put his answers in a spoiler block, for the convenience of the latecomers.




Grrrrr. Doggone browser always wants to highlight an extra character or two when I'm highlighting text and deletes part of the brackets on me.
