  1. A geosynchronous satellite orbits the earth • once every 90 minutes • once every 6 hours • once every 24 hours • once every month C Answer:

  2. The altitude of a geosynchronous satellite is closest to: • 200 miles • 24, 000 miles • 2,000,000 miles • 93,000,000 miles B Answer:

  3. If an artificial satellite orbited the Earth at 240,000 miles (the distance too the moon), it would orbit the earth in a period of • 90 minutes • 1 day • 1 week • 1 month D Answer:

  4. Balloons rise until: • the surrounding air becomes too dense • the surrounding air becomes too thin (not dense) • the surrounding air becomes too cold • they reach space B Answer:

  5. Ice-skaters spin faster by pulling in their arms. This illustrates that • momentum is conserved • angular momentum is conserved • energy is conserved • angular energy is conserved B Answer:

  6. When an astronaut in space sneezes, his head is snapped back with higher velocity than on earth, because: • momentum is conserved • his head is massless • there is no air in space • wrong! His head is not snapped back with a higher velocity D Answer:

  7. If Dr. Mike was accelerated during crash by 10g and hit his head on a window, this would be the equivalent of a ____________ sitting on his head. • the largest elephant on record • the maximum payload of a 1 ton truck • a one year old St. Bernard • a jar of jelly beans B Answer:

  8. Miso the Miracle Dog is chasing his tail. He is moving with a speed of 3 miles per hour and the radius of the circle he makes is about 1 foot. What is his acceleration? (There are 5280 feet in a mile) • 47,520 miles per hour2 • 0.0017 miles per hour2 • 15,840 miles per hour2 • 1760 miles per hour2 Answer: A
