Which of the following states of matter exists at the highest temperature?
liquid |
|
gas |
|
solid |
|
none of these |
Solids exist at a lower temperature than liquids which exist at a lower temperature than gases.
The formula \(\vec{F_{g}} = { Gm_{1}m_{2} \over r^2}\) applies to which of Newton's laws?
third law of motion |
|
second law of motion |
|
universal gravitation |
|
first law of motion |
Newton's law of universal gravitation defines gravity: All objects in the universe attract each other with an equal force that varies directly as a product of their masses, and inversely as a square of their distance from each other. Expressed as a formula: \(\vec{F_{g}} = { Gm_{1}m_{2} \over r^2}\) where r is the distance between the two objects and G is the gravitational constant with a value of 6.67 x 10-11.
The ozone layer is in which of Earth's atmospheric layers?
thermosphere |
|
troposphere |
|
mesosphere |
|
stratosphere |
The stratosphere is just above the troposphere and is stratified in temperature with warmer layers higher and cooler layers closer to Earth. This increase in temperature is a result of absorption of the Sun's radiation by the ozone layer.
Molecules and atoms that are inputs to a chemical reaction are known as which of the following?
reactants |
|
fuel |
|
products |
|
components |
During a chemical reaction molecules and atoms (reactants) are rearranged into new combinations that result in new kinds of atoms or molecules (products).
The Sun is a __________-type main-sequence star.
D |
|
E |
|
S |
|
G |
The Sun is a G-type main-sequence star (G2V) but is informally known as a yellow dwarf star. Composed of 73% hydrogen and 25% helium, the hot plasma that makes up the Sun reaches 9,900°F (5,505°C) at the surface. It formed approximately 4.6 billion years ago and makes up 99.86% of the mass in the solar system.
