QuizBusters Matt has a problem. Actually more than one. But here's the immediate one: He wants to know the voltage drop across his 6-ohm resistor, which is connected in parallel with a 12-ohm resistor to a 12-volt battery, a value he can find using Kirchhoff's loop rule without any calculation. What is that voltage drop?
QuizBusters This trait is common in only four mammalian groups: kangaroo mice, macropods, springhares, and hominians. What is it? (no...it is NOT "watching QuizBusters")
QuizBusters Remember, you can also join "The Official Jason Vlahos Fan Club"!
QuizBusters Remember...no Googling.... Makemake was given this designation in July 2008 since it has not “cleared its neighborhood” according to a criterion from 2006. If gravity is shown to have given Vesta a spherical shape, it may became the second asteroid to share what status with Eris and Ceres?
QuizBusters If you know the difference between isotopes and donut holes, maybe you know this one.... Other than protons, the most common isotope used in nuclear magnetic resonance is this stable one that accounts for about 1% of its element's abundance. It is slightly more common in C4 plants than C3 plants. Name this isotope.
QuizBusters Extra points for the correct answer WITHOUT using Google..... The fourth and final book of this work discusses the “kingdom of darkness.” Its first book, “Of Man,” asserts that life in the “state of nature” is “solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short.” Name this philosophical work about commonwealths.
QuizBusters This one makes the QB producer's head hurt... Sam goes to Omaha every three months, always on the first of the month. Sam's tenth visit was on January 1, but Sam has forgotten in what month the first visit fell. Given that Sam's visits come four times a year, the first visit was in what month?
QuizBusters Okay...the QB producer (me) doesn't even understand this question, let alone know the answer to it: The standing waves at the fundamental frequency of closed and half-open pipes both have exactly one of these points, though it's at the center of the closed pipe and at the open end of the half-open pipe. Name this kind of point of maximum amplitude.
QuizBusters Here's a Tuesday question...After escaping the regency of his half-sister Sophia in 1689, this man studied shipbuilding, a skill he would hone on his “Grand Embassy” during which he worked incognito in a Dutch shipyard. Name this "Great" ruler.
QuizBusters Here's a Monday question...This SI unit has the same dimensions as the unit used for torque, but it is used to measure the product of a torque and the angle through which it acts, which is a form of work. One newton-meter is equivalent to what unit used to measure energy that is symbolized J?
QuizBusters Beethoven's Symphony No. 6 is in the major key of this note. What is it?
QuizBusters Short question...Who was the first woman to defeat a female incumbent in a Senate election?
QuizBusters Lots of new fans lately! Welcome!
QuizBusters The name of these organisms that had eyes made of calcite crystals doesn't refer to their cephalon, thorax, and pygidium body segments, but rather to their three longitudinal lobes. What is it?
