2. The Bulgarian resort cities of Burgas and Varna lie on which body of water?
Caspian Sea Black Sea Mediterranean Sea Aegean Sea

Your answer: Black Sea Bulgaria's only coastline is on the western end of the Black Sea. Its other borders are with Romania to the north, Serbia and the Republic of Macedonia to the west, and Greece and Turkey to the south.

3. Of what is Pharology the study?

Pharisees Pharaohs Lighthouses Pharmacies

Your answer: Lighthouses The word is derived from classic Latin or Greek. Pharos was their word for lighthouse, and the lighthouse at Alexandria was named accordingly. Pharologists study lighthouse construction and their illumination and signalling techniques. Queen Elizabeth II's daughter, Princess Anne, has a keen interest in pharology. It doesn't particularly turn my light on, though.

John Tyler Samuel Morse

Benjamin Franklin Abraham Lincoln

Your answer: Samuel Morse Samuel Morse invented Morse code as well as the single-wire telegraph system. The message was sent from Washington, D.C. to Baltimore, Maryland. "What hath God wrought", a quote from the Bible, was chosen by the daughter of one of Morse's financial backers.

5. Where will you find "Green Boots Cave", named for the footwear on a preserved corpse there?
At the bottom of the Marianas Trench Near the top of Mount Everest On the moon In the rose garden of the White House

Your answer: In the rose garden of the White House The correct answer was Near the top of Mount Everest "Green Boots" is believed to be Indian climber Tsewang Paljor who died on Mount Everest on May 11, 1996, along with eight other climbers. His preserved body with his neon green boots lies along the northern route to the summit at 27,900 feet/ 8,500 meters. Quite a few corpses remain on Everest due to the difficulty in recovering the bodies from that altitude.

6. In 2000, which currency, frequently used in international transactions, became the official currency of Ecuador?
Greek drachma U.S. dollar Kenyan shilling Ankh-Morpork dollar

Your answer: U.S. dollar As part of his economic recovery plan, President Jamil Mahuad made the announcement that Ecuador would switch to the U.S. dollar, due to the instability of the sucre, the currency of Ecuador since 1884. The decision was met with protests that led to his removal, but his successor, Gustavo Noboa, went ahead with the conversion. Even though the U.S. dollar replaced the sucre, Ecuador's centavo coins continued to be used.

1. OK, so first things first: what was Newton's first law?

Your Answer: The law of inertia

Newton's first law, that of inertia, states that an object in motion tends to remain in motion, unless acted upon by another force. For example, in a car crash, the car is brought to a sudden stop. However, YOU continue moving forward until another force acts upon you -- hopefully, the airbag!

2. So, inertia is the tendency of objects to remain in motion. But in a car crash, all of the air in a car stays in place without moving! Does this mean that air doesn't have inertia?
Your Answer: No; the air did move forward during the crash -- you just didn't notice it.

All objects with matter have inertia. Period, no questions asked. Since the air has an extremely small mass compared to, say, the car, it moves forward relatively little, but the air DID move forward.

3. Kay, second law now. Say you're pushing a sledge with a stack of bricks on it. Suddenly, your not-so-friendly friend dumps another stack of bricks on the sledge, with the same mass of the bricks already on the cart. Assuming air resistance and friction are negligible, and disregarding the weight of the sledge, what should you do if you want to keep the speed of the sledge the same?
Your Answer: Double your input force.

Newton's Second Law of Motion: F=MA, or Force equals Mass times Acceleration. For all you non-physicists out there, this means that force is proportional to mass. Assuming you want to keep constant speed, when your friend doubles the mass, you need to double your force. Since A=1, since it is constant (or A=100%), F=M(1) and F=M. As M->2M, either F>2F or A->A/2. Since acceleration should remain constant, force must double.

4. Newton's final law states that every action...

Your Answer: has an equal and opposite reaction.

Newton's third law states that every action has an equal and opposite reaction. For example, if I am in a rolling chair and I push the desk, the

desk pushes back on me, resulting in backwards motion.

5. Consider this age-old riddle: a man is driving a truck carrying two tons of pigeons (yes, that's a lot of pigeons). However, he soon reaches a minor setback -- he reaches a bridge, with a maximum weight load of one ton. He puzzles over it for a while, and then has an idea: he takes a baseball bat and hits the trailer with it, frightening all the pigeons into flight. While all the pigeons are airborne and not burdening the truck, he quickly hops into the cab and drives across the bridge. Is he successful?
Your Answer: n

Sadly, no. When the pigeons are airborne, they are not weighing down the truck. However, when they take flight, they are essentially pushing air down, which in turn pushes them up. The air they push down hits the bottom of the trailer and weighs down the truck, resulting in no net loss in weight.

6. While the the more well-known parts of Newton's laws (inertia, f=ma, and equal reactions), a lesser known part of Newton's first law stated that all objects that have mass have inertia and what else?
Your Answer: gravitation

While it's true that all objects with mass have density, volume and gravitation, Newton's first law states gravitation specifically. What Newton means is that every object has some degree of influencing objects around it. A rock will not have as much as, say, the Earth, but it's still something.

7. In apparent refutation of Newton's Third Law, a boulder falls off a cliff. The action is the Earth's force of gravity on the boulder, but what is the reaction?
Your Answer: The boulder's force of gravity on the Earth.

As the boulder falls, it exerts a force on the Earth equal to the force the Earth is exerting on it. However, since the Earth has a much greater mass, its motion is affected much less than the boulder's.

8. Again, Newton's Third Law. When I hold a gun in midair and fire it, why don't the "equal and opposite reactions" (the bullet and the recoil) cancel out?
Your Answer: Because the forces are exerted on different objects.

The recoil of the gun fires backward and pushes you, but the explosion of the gunpowder also propels the gun forward. However, the bullet moves much faster than you because it weighs much less, and thus the same force moves it much farther (remember, F=MA).

9. Which of Newton's laws are required to allow a car to accelerate from a stop and crash into a brick wall?
Your Answer: All of the laws

ALL of Newton's laws determine this. The first law is the force the car has to overcome to begin accelerating. The second law determines the force the car exerts on the brick wall. And the third law is the very reason the car accelerates -- the tires push against the road, which exerts an equal force on the tire. You aren't really driving -- you're being pushed by the street!

10. Finally, what was Newton's least-known "fourth law?"

Your Answer: There was none.

Newton had no such law! And in case you're wondering, "pharology" is the study of lighthouses! No, really. Thanks for playing my first quiz, and I hope you learned something (at the very least, tell your mom you want to be a pharologist when you grow up). Thanks for taking your time with this quiz!
