Which of the following would be found on a reflecting telescope?
convex lens |
|
concave lens |
|
concave mirror |
|
convex mirror |
A concave (or converging) mirror bulges inward and focuses reflected light on the mirror's focal point where the mirror's angles of incidence converge. In contrast, a convex (or diverging) mirror bulges outward and diffuses the light waves that strike it. A common use of a concave mirror is in a reflecting telescope, a common use of a convex mirror is in the side view mirror of a car.
What part of the brain is responsible for for balance, movement, and muscle coordination?
medulla |
|
brainstem |
|
cerebellum |
|
cerebrum |
The cerebellum is a large cluster of nerves at the base of the brain that's responsible for balance, movement, and muscle coordination.
Antigens in the blood determine:
blood type |
|
blood oxygen capacity |
|
negative or positive status |
|
Rh factor |
Blood is categorized into four different types (A, B, AB, and O) based on the type of antigens found on the outside of the red blood cells. Additionally, each type can be negative or positive based on whether or not the cells have an antigen called the Rh factor.
Force is measured in newtons (N) with 1 N being the force required to impart an acceleration of:
1 m/s to a mass of 1 kg |
|
1 mph to a mass of 1 kg |
|
1 m/s2 to a mass of 1 kg |
|
1 m/s2 to a mass of 1 kg/s2 |
Weight is a force that describes the attraction of gravity on an object. Force is measured in newtons (N) with 1 N being the force required to impart an acceleration of 1 m/s2 to a mass of 1 kg.
Absolute zero is which of the following?
0°C |
|
the freezing point of oxygen |
|
the coldest temperature possible in the universe |
|
the freezing point of hydrogen |
In contrast to the Celsius scale (measured in degrees centigrade) that fixes 0° at the freezing point of water and the Fahrenheit scale that uses 32°, the Kelvin scale fixes 0 at absolute zero (-273°C) which is the lowest temperature possible in the universe.
