Earth's troposphere layer is which of the following?
coldest |
|
hottest |
|
farthest from the surface |
|
closest to the surface |
The Earth's atmosphere has several layers starting with the troposphere which is closest in proximity to the surface. Containing most of the Earth's breathable air (oxygen and nitrogen), it's a region with warmer temperatures closer to the surface and cooler temperatures farther away which results in the rising and falling air that generates weather.
Scalar quantities are fully described by which of the following?
a direction only |
|
a magnitude and a polarity |
|
a magnitude and a direction |
|
a magnitude only |
Velocity and displacement are vector quantities which means each is fully described by both a magnitude and a direction. In contrast, scalar quantities are quantities that are fully described by a magnitude only. A variable indicating a vector quantity will often be shown with an arrow symbol: \(\vec{v}\)
Which of the following is not a method of heat transfer?
conduction |
|
radiation |
|
convection |
|
reflection |
Heat is always transferred from warmer to cooler environments through conduction, convection, or radiation.
Which of these does not contain oxygenated blood?
pulmonary vein |
|
left ventricle |
|
right atrium |
|
aorta |
To provide oxygen to the body, blood flows through the heart in a path formed by the right atrium → right ventricle → lungs → left atrium → left ventricle → body. When blood enters the right side of the heart it is deoxygenated. It enters the left side of the heart oxygenated after traveling to the lungs.
During digestion, the kidneys filter substances from the blood. Which of the following is not filtered by the kidneys?
water |
|
salt |
|
minerals |
