Molecules and atoms that are outputs from a chemical reaction are known as which of the following?
products |
|
side effects |
|
results |
|
reactants |
During a chemical reaction molecules and atoms (reactants) are rearranged into new combinations that result in new kinds of atoms or molecules (products).
The rate of vibration of sound is called:
amplitude |
|
frequency |
|
volume |
|
period |
The rate of vibration of sound is called frequency and is measured in hertz (Hz). One hertz is one repetition per second and sounds with high frequency have a higher pitch than sounds with lower frequency. Humans can hear sounds in the range of 20 Hz to 20 kHz.
Cirrus clouds generally occur in what kind of weather?
stormy |
|
fair |
|
freezing |
|
hot |
Cirrus clouds are thin, wispy high-altitude clouds composed of ice crystals that originate from the freezing of supercooled water droplets. Cirrus clouds generally occur in fair weather and point in the direction of air movement at their elevation.
Water freezing or boiling is an example of which of the following?
sublimation |
|
heating |
|
phase transition |
|
cooling |
A substance undergoes a phase transition when it moves from one state of matter to another, for example, when water freezes or boils.
A major difference between sound waves and light waves is which of the following?
a sound wave is much slower than a light wave |
|
all of these are correct |
|
a sound wave cannot travel through a vacuum |
|
a sound wave is mechanical while a light wave is electromagnetic |
A vibrating object produces a sound wave that travels outwardly from the object through a medium (any liquid or solid matter). The vibration disturbs the particles in the surrounding medium, those particles disturb the particules next to them, and so on, as the sound propagates away from the vibration.
