"An object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force." This describes which of Newton's laws of motion?
fourth |
|
first |
|
second |
|
third |
Also known as the law of inertia, Newton's first law of motion states that An object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.
The hottest of Earth's atmospheric layers is which of the following?
mesosphere |
|
stratosphere |
|
thermosphere |
|
troposphere |
Temperatures again increase with altitude in the thermosphere which is the hottest (4,530 °F / 2,500 °C) atmospheric layer due to direct exposure to the Sun's radiation. However, the gas in this layer is highly diluted so even though the atoms of gas may be very high in temperature, there are too few of them to effectively transfer much heat.

autonomic |
|
somatic |
|
peripheral |
|
central |
Part of the peripheral nervous system, the autonomic nervous system regulates involuntary activity in the heart, stomach, and intestines.
A subatomic particle that orbits the nucleus of an atom. It carries a negative electric charge. This desribes which of the following?
electron |
|
proton |
|
isotope |
|
neutron |
An electron is a subatomic particle that orbits the nucleus of an atom. It carries a negative electric charge. Generally, an atom has the same number of negative electrons orbiting the nucleus as it does positive protons inside.
Which of the following is not a method of heat transfer?
radiation |
|
convection |
|
conduction |
|
reflection |
Heat is always transferred from warmer to cooler environments through conduction, convection, or radiation.
