Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. A product of incomplete combustion of petroleum + An object whose gravitational pull is so strong that not even light can escape from it.

Answer: carbon black hole

Carbon black is used to make black pigments, paints, and food coloring, and is also used to strengthen tires.

A black hole is the end product of the gravitational collapse of a heavy astronomical object, such as a massive star or even an entire galaxy.

2. An event when a space rock collides with a planet or a moon + A data used to determine curvature of the path of a projectile.

Answer: meteor impact parameter

A meteor or asteroid impact occurs when a space object collides with a larger body usually leaving behind a circular depression on the surface called a crater.

Impact parameter is a mathematical vector quantity that determines the curvature of the path of a projectile such as a thrown ball by using the equation and plotting on a graph.

3. Work invested in the velocity of a moving object + Another term for an electron shell.

Answer: kinetic energy level

Kinetic energy or mechanical energy is a type of energy produced when an object is in motion.

Energy level is another term for an electron shell, which is an orbital path that surrounds the atomic nucleus.

4. The weight of the unit particle of chemical elements + An event when most species die out due to a cataclysm.

Answer: atomic mass extinction

Atomic mass is the mass of an atom, which is roughly determined by adding up the number of protons and neutrons that make up the atomic nucleus.

Mass extinctions occur when most life dies out due to a major global cataclysm such as an asteroid impact that wiped out the dinosaurs and rapid changes to a global climate.

5. A constant stream of particles coming off the Sun + A sensation of wind feeling colder than the air temperature.

Answer: solar wind chill

Solar wind is a flow of ionized particles emitted from the Sun's corona.

Wind chill is the determination of how cold the winds feel, based from air temperature and wind speed.

6. The coldest possible temperature + The state of weightlessness.

Answer: absolute zero gravity

Absolute zero (0 K, −273.15i�C, −459.67i�F, or 0i�R) is the lowest possible temperature in which all the matter particles are at rest and is considered infinitely cold.

Zero gravity, hence the term, is an environment where it has no gravity to pull things down, such as up in space, therefore everything floats.

7. A gas comprising of point molecules that don't take up space + A planet with no solid surface.

Answer: ideal gas giant

The concept of ideal gas is used to determine the behavior of real gases using the ideal gas law.

The gas giants in our solar system are Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. All are bigger than any terrestrial planet like Earth.

8. A device that converts chemical energy into electricity via chemical reactions + A process of the smallest unit of life splitting into two copies.

Answer: fuel cell division

Fuel cell is a device that uses chemical energy contained in a fuel such as diesel to power things like satellites and space capsules.

Cell division is the repeating process of splitting one cell into two, making organisms to grow and develop as well as replacing old, dying cells with new ones.

9. NaCl dissolved in H2O + An evaporated product of H2O.

Answer: salt water vapor

Salt water is a solution made when we dissolve salt in the water.

Water vapor is the evaporated product of liquid water.

10. A destructive type of ocean current + A determination of the probability of a particle existing in a particular spot using an equation.

Answer: tidal wave function

Tidal wave is an oceanic wave triggered by an earthquake under the sea, tropical cyclones or gale force winds.

Wave function is the mathematical variability that describes a subatomic particle existing as waves in quantum mechanics.
