• FM

What is a key feature of quantum mechanics that differentiates it from classical physics?

• Wave-particle duality

• Deterministic outcomes

• Lack of interference patterns

• Absolute certainty

Why would a person weigh less at the equator than at the poles?

• Higher gravity at the equator

• Centrifugal force at the equator

• Greater distance from the sun

• Earth's magnetic field

What is the primary reason for the Earth's bulging at the equator?

• Gravitational pull

• Rotational speed

• Magnetic forces

• Tidal forces

How do you quickly calculate 10% of a number?

Why does a helium balloon float in the air?

• Helium is magnetic

• Helium is the same weight as air

• Helium is lighter than air

• Helium is heavier than air

What causes the buoyant force on a submerged object?

• Color of the object

• Weight of the object

• Temperature of the fluid

• Weight of the displaced fluid

What is the role of atmospheric pressure in buoyancy?

• It has no effect

• It creates a pressure difference

• It pushes down on objects

• It only affects solids
