Work is measured in:
amps |
|
horsepower |
|
joules or newton-meters |
|
watts |
Work is performed on an object when an applied force causes displacement along the same vector. Measured in joules (J) or newton-meters (Nm), work is calculated by multiplying force times displacement: \(W = \vec{F}\vec{d}\)

brainstem |
|
medulla |
|

Which of the following is related to the Cambrian Explosion?
first civilizations |
|
extinction of dinosaurs |
|
fossil record |
|
carbon dating |
The Cambrian period is one of the most significant geological time periods. Lasting about 53 million years, it marked a dramatic burst of changes in life on Earth known as the Cambrian Explosion. It is from this period that the majority of the history of life on Earth, as documented by fossils, is found. Called the fossil record, the layering of these mineralized imprints of organisms preserved in sedementary rock have allowed geologists to build a historical record of plant and animal life on Earth.
Which of the following is not a method of heat transfer?
conduction |
|
radiation |
|
reflection |
|
convection |
Heat is always transferred from warmer to cooler environments through conduction, convection, or radiation.
Which is the proper order of Earth's atmospheric layers from the surface up to space?
stratosphere, troposphere, mesosphere, thermosphere |
|
thermosphere, mesosphere, stratosphere, troposphere |
|
mesosphere, thermosphere, stratosphere, troposphere |
|
troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere |
The troposphere is the closest layer to Earth, followed by the stratosphere, mesosphere, and finally the thermosphere which borders space.
