The term used to describe the amount of energy required to raise the temperature of one unit of mass of a substance by one degree is?

• Thermodynamic Capacity

• Specific Heat Capacity

• Matter Temperature Capacity

• Irwin Vulcan Capacity

Answer explanation

It is not a constant for all substances, varying due to different states of the matter, as well as if it is held at a constant volume.

In telecommunications. the loss of signal over distance is know as?

• The Doppler Effect

• Attenuation

• Dunning-Kruger Effect

• Informative Dissemination

Answer explanation

Many telecommunications products are hampered by this effect.

A Short Ton, not to be confused with the Tonne (also known as the Metric Ton), or the Imperial Ton (also known as the long ton), is a mass measurement equal to?

• 1000kg

• 2000kg

• 1000lb

• 2000lb

Answer explanation

A cricket ton is 100+ runs, a snooker ton is a break of 100 or more, and the Regency era ton was Britain's high society at one stage.

The measure of a liquids resistance to deformation is?

• Fluid Dynamics

• Viscosity

• Fluidity

• Viciousness

Answer explanation

Viscosity measure the internal frictional force between adjacent layers of fluid.

The acceleration of the gravitational pull of the earth at sea level is?

• 9.8m/s

• 9.8m/s^2

• 10m/s

• 10m/s^2

Answer explanation

If you're falling (I don't recommend it) then every second your velocity increases by approximately 9.8metres per second every second (if we ignore air resistance).

You have a six sided die, which you've just rolled and a six was the result. You're rolling the die again, what is the probability that you'll roll a six?

• 1/6

• 1/12

• 1/24

• 1/36

Answer explanation

Each roll has a 1/6 possibility of being a six, regardless of the amount of sixes rolled beforehand.

You've rolled a six sided die two times in a row, and rolled a six each time. What is the probability of this?

• 1/6

• 1/12

• 1/24

• 1/36

Answer explanation

You're awesome! Have an excellent day.

The resistance of any physical body to a change in its velocity is know as?

• Applied Friction

• Inertia

• Movement Permanence

• Momentum

Answer explanation

Inertia describes the resistance of an object to change, whereas momentum describes how much motion an object has.

A person with an exceptionally high temperature due to failed thermoregulation would be said to be suffering from?

• Hyperthermia

• Hypothermia

• Exothermia

• Endothermia

Answer explanation

Hyperthermia is different from a fever, because a fever is caused by the body changing its temperature, whereas hyperthermia is the inability of the body to dissipate excess heat.
