Heat is always transferred from __________ to __________ environments.
empty, dense |
|
cooler, warmer |
|
dense, empty |
|
warmer, cooler |
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.
Examples of primary consumers include:
rats |
|
fish |

all of these |
|
cows |
Primary consumers (herbivores) subsist on producers like plants and fungus. Examples are grasshoppers, cows, and plankton.
Convert 0C° to F°.

To convert from C° to F° use:
\(F° = {9 \over 5}C° + 32\)
\(F° = {9 \over 5}(0) + 32\)
\(F° = 0 + 32 = 32\)
Which of the following is not true about simple magnets?
opposite poles repel each other |
|
same poles repel each other |
|
opposite poles attract each other |
|
all of these are untrue |
Simple magnets have two poles, north and south, and opposite poles attract each other (N attracts S, S attracts N). Likewise, the same pole of two magnets repel (N repels N, S repels S). The Earth has a magnetic field and North and South Poles which enables the use of a magnetic compass to determine direction.
The four planets closest to the Sun are called terrestrial. What does terrestrial mean?
the planets have water |
|
the planets have magnetic fields |
|
the planets have moons |
|
the planets are Earth-like |
The four planets closest to the Sun (Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars) are called terrestrial (Earth-like) planets because, like the Earth, they're solid with inner metal cores covered by rocky surfaces.
