What part of the brain is responsible for for balance, movement, and muscle coordination?
cerebrum |
|
cerebellum |
|

Which of the following is not a method of heat transfer?
radiation |

Which of the following would be used in eye glasses to correct farsightedness?
concave mirror |
|
convex lens |
|
concave lens |
|
convex mirror |
Unlike curved mirrors that operate on the principle of reflection, lenses utilize refraction. A convex lens is thicker in the middle than on the edges and converges light while a concave lens is thicker on the edges than in the middle and diffuses light. A common use for curved lenses is in eye glasses where a convex lens is used to correct farsightedness and a concave lens is used to correct nearsightedness.
The energy posessed by a thrown baseball is an example of what kind of energy?
transitional |
|
kinetic |
|
gravitational |
|
potential |
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.
