The dwarf planet Pluto is located where?
in the asteroid belt |
|
between the orbits of Jupiter and Saturn |
|
outside the solar system |
|
in the Kuiper Belt |
The Kuiper Belt is similar to the asteroid belt but much larger. Extending beyond the orbit of Neptune, it contains objects composed mostly of frozen methane, ammonia, and water. Most notably, the Kuiper Belt is home to Pluto, a dwarf planet that, until a 2006 reclassification, was considered the ninth planet of the solar system.
In the classification of life, which of the following is not a domain?
archaea |
|
bacteria |
|
eukaryota |
|
animalia |
The broadest classification of life splits all organisms into three groups called domains. The three domains of life are bacteria, archaea and eukaryota.
Force is measured in newtons (N) with 1 N being the force required to impart an acceleration of:
1 mph to a mass of 1 kg |
|
1 m/s to a mass of 1 kg |
|
1 m/s2 to a mass of 1 kg/s2 |
|
1 m/s2 to a mass of 1 kg |
Weight is a force that describes the attraction of gravity on an object. Force is measured in newtons (N) with 1 N being the force required to impart an acceleration of 1 m/s2 to a mass of 1 kg.
Which of the following is not true about mass and weight?
mass depends on the location where it is measured |
|
mass is the amount of matter something has |
|
weight depends on the location where it is measured |
|
weight is the force exerted on an object by gravity |
Mass is the amount of matter something has while weight is the force exerted on an object's mass by gravity. So, although a person's mass doesn't change when going from the Earth to the Moon, their weight will decrease because the force of the Moon's gravity is much less than that of Earth.
Which of these is matter than cannot be separated into different types of matter by ordinary chemical methods?
compound |
|
element |
|
molecule |
|
atom |
An element is matter than cannot be separated into different types of matter by ordinary chemical methods.
