Which of these is matter than cannot be separated into different types of matter by ordinary chemical methods?
element
An element is matter than cannot be separated into different types of matter by ordinary chemical methods.
Which of the following is the smallest component of an element that still retains the properties of the element?
atom
An atom is the smallest component of an element that still retains the properties of the element.
The asteroids in the Kuiper belt are composed of which of the following?
frozen methane, ammonia, and water
The Kuiper Belt is similar to the asteroid belt but much larger. Extending beyond the orbit of Neptune, it contains objects composed mostly of frozen methane, ammonia, and water. Most notably, the Kuiper Belt is home to Pluto, a dwarf planet that, until a 2006 reclassification, was considered the ninth planet of the solar system.
A cylinder with a radius (r) and a height (h) has a surface area of:
2(π r2) + 2π rh
A cylinder is a solid figure with straight parallel sides and a circular or oval cross section with a radius (r) and a height (h). The volume of a cylinder is π r2h and the surface area is 2(π r2) + 2π rh.
The firing order of the cylinders in an engine can be found by:
observing the order in which the intake valves open
The firing order of the cylinders in an engine is different than the cynlinder numbers and can be found by observing the order in which the intake valves open.
What is the least common multiple of 6 and 12?
The first few multiples of 6 are [6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 42, 48, 54, 60] and the first few multiples of 12 are [12, 24, 36, 48, 60, 72, 84, 96]. The first few multiples they share are [12, 24, 36, 48, 60] making 12 the smallest multiple 6 and 12 have in common.
During digestion, the kidneys filter substances from the blood. Which of the following is not filtered by the kidneys?
fats
Chemical waste like excess water, minerals, and salt are filtered from the blood by the kidneys and secreted into the urine. Urine is transported from the kidneys to the bladder through ureters.
Electromotive force is another name for:
voltage
Voltage (V) is the electrical potential difference between two points. Electrons will flow as current from areas of high potential (concentration of electrons) to areas of low potential. Voltage and current are directly proportional in that the higher the voltage applied to a conductor the higher the current that will result.
