The energy posessed by a ball on the window ledge of a tall building is an example of what kind of energy?
potential |
|
gravitational |
|
kinetic |
|
inherent |
Kinetic energy is the energy posessed by a moving object. Potential energy is stored energy in a stationary object based on its location, position, shape, or state.
What part of the brain is responsible for for balance, movement, and muscle coordination?
cerebrum |
|
cerebellum |
|
brainstem |
|
medulla |
The cerebellum is a large cluster of nerves at the base of the brain that's responsible for balance, movement, and muscle coordination.
pH is a scale that measures of how basic or acidic a solution is. A solution with a pH of 9 is:
acidic |
|
alkaline |
|
water |
|
neutral |
An acid is a substance that gives up positively charged hydrogen ions (H+) when dissolved in water. A base (alkaline) gives up negatively charged hydroxide ions (OH-) when dissolved in water. pH is a scale that measures of how basic or acidic a solution is. Numbered from 0 to 14, solutions with a pH of 7 are neutral, less than 7 are acidic, more than 7 are alkaline.
Water has a refractive index of 1.33. Which of the following is true?
light travels 1.33 times slower in a vacuum than it does in water |
|
light travels 1.33 times faster in a vacuum than it does in water |
|
light is 1.33 times dimmer in a vacuum than it is in water |
|
light is 1.33 times brighter in a vacuum than it is in water |
The speed of light varies based on the material that the waves are passing through. The refractive index of a material indicates how easily light travels through it compared to how easily light travels through a vacuum. For example, the refractive index of water is 1.33, meaning that light travels 1.33 times faster in a vacuum than it does in water.
What part of the brain is responsible for the major senses (thinking, hearing, seeing)?
cerebrum |
|
cerebellum |
|
brainstem |
|
medulla |
The cerebrum is the major part of the brain and is responsible for the main senses (thinking, hearing, seeing).
