Ques: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Nuclear Fission Many heavier elements with smaller binding energies per nucleon can decompose into more stable elements that have intermediate mass numbers and larger binding energies per nucleonthat is, mass numbers and binding energies per nucleon that are closer to the "peak" of the binding energy graph near 56 (see Figure 21.3). Sometimes neutrons are also produced. This decomposition is called fission, the breaking of a large nucleus into smaller pieces. The breaking is rather random with the formation of a large number of different products. Fission usually does not occur naturally, but is induced by bombardment with neutrons. The first reported nuclear fission occurred in 1939 when three German scientists, Lise Meitner, Otto Hahn, and Fritz Strassman, bombarded uranium-235 atoms with slow-moving neutrons that split the U-238 nuclei into smaller fragments that consisted of several neutrons and elements near the middle of the periodic table. Since then, fission has been observed in many other isotopes, including most actinide isotopes that have an odd number of neutrons. A typical nuclear fission reaction is shown in Figure 21.14. Q: The first reported nuclear fission occurred in 1939 when three german scientists bombarded uranium-235 atoms with slow-moving what? Choices: - protons - electrons - isotopes - neutrons A:
Ans: neutrons

Ques: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Q: A complex interactions of hormones result in an edible fruit that entices animals that help disperse what? Choices: - pests - water - rocks - seeds A:
Ans: seeds

Ques: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Jupiter is truly a giant! The planet has 318 times the mass of Earth, and over 1,300 times Earth's volume. So Jupiter is much less dense than Earth. Because Jupiter is so large, it reflects a lot of sunlight. When it is visible, it is the brightest object in the night sky besides the Moon and Venus. Jupiter is quite far from the Earth. The planet is more than five times as far from Earth as the Sun. It takes Jupiter about 12 Earth years to orbit once around the Sun. Q: What giant planet is far away from and much less dense than earth? Choices: - venus - uranus - mars - jupiter A:
Ans: jupiter

Ques: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Many crops are grown where there isn't enough rainfall for plants to thrive. For example, crops are grown in deserts of the American Southwest. How is this possible? The answer is irrigation. Irrigation is any way of providing extra water to plants. Most of the water used in agriculture is used for irrigation. Livestock also use water, but they use much less. Q: What is the name of the process for delivering water to crops? Choices: - drainage - reclamation - bilge - irrigation A:
Ans:
irrigation
