similarly complex |
|
less complex |
|
none of these |
|
more complex |

Sound travels fastest through which of the following media?
metal |
|
water |
|
vacuum |
|
air |
The speed of a sound wave will vary with the medium. Sound travels fastest through media that has particles that are very close together, like metal. Thus, it travels faster through water than through air and doesn't travel at all through a vacuum (there are no particles in empty space to vibrate).
Which of the following represents the largest value?
1 ML |
|
1 kL |
|
1 mL |
|
1 cL |
Mega (M) is 106, kilo (k) is 103, centi (c) is 10-2, milli (m) is 10-3 so 1 ML represents the largest value.
Veins carry blood __________ the heart.
all of these |
|
within |
|
away from |
|
back to |
Veins carry blood back to the heart from the body. While arteries are thick-walled because they carry oxygenated blood at high pressure, veins are comparatively thin-walled as they carry low-pressure deoxygenated blood. Like the heart, veins contain valves to prevent blood backflow.
A subatomic particle found in the nucleus of an atom. It carries no electric charge. This desribes which of the following?
proton |
|
neutron |
|
atom |
|
electron |
A neutron is a subatomic particle found in the nucleus of an atom. It is neutral as it carries no electric charge.
