Materials like metals that transfer heat efficiently are called:
insulators |
|
conductors |
|
refractors |
|
reflectors |
Heat is always transferred from warmer to cooler environments and conduction is the simplest way this transfer can occur. It is accomplished through direct contact between materials and materials like metals that transfer heat efficiently are called conductors while those that conduct heat poorly, such as plastic, are called insulators.
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 |
|
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/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.
Neurons are part of the __________ nervous system.
autonomic |
|
central |
|
peripheral |
|
somatic |
The nervous system consists of the brain and spinal cord (central nervous system) and the peripheral nervous system which is the network of nerve cells (neurons) that collect and distribute signals from the central nervous system throughout the body.
212°F is how many °C?
100 |
|
0 |
|
-100 |
|
\(135 {5 \over 9}\) |
The formula to convert from F° to C° is:
\(C° = {5 \over 9} (F° - 32)\)
plugging in our values gives:
\(C° = {5 \over 9} (212 - 32)\)
\(C° = {5 \over 9} (180) = {{180 \times 5} \over 9}\)
\(C° = {900 \over 9}\)
\(C° = 100\)
What part of the nervous system controls simple reflexes?
spinal cord |
|
cerebrum |
|
autonomic |
|
medulla |
The spinal cord connects the brain to the body's network of nerves. It carries impulses between all organs and the brain and controls simple reflexes.
