Heat is always transferred from __________ to __________ environments.

69% Answer Correctly

empty, dense

cooler, warmer

dense, empty

warmer, cooler


Solution

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.

Convert 0C° to F°.

72% Answer Correctly

32

0

16

-32


Solution

To convert from C° to F° use:

\(F° = {9 \over 5}C° + 32\)

\(F° = {9 \over 5}(0) + 32\)

\(F° = 0 + 32 = 32\)

 


4

Which of the following is not true about simple magnets?

63% Answer Correctly

opposite poles repel each other

same poles repel each other

opposite poles attract each other

all of these are untrue


Solution

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.


5

The four planets closest to the Sun are called terrestrial. What does terrestrial mean?

74% Answer Correctly

the planets have water

the planets have magnetic fields

the planets have moons

the planets are Earth-like


Solution

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.
