What type of cloud is responsible for fog?
cumulonimbus |
|
stratus |
|
cirrus |
|
cumulus |
Clouds are categorized based on their shape, size, and altitude. Stratus clouds are low-altitude clouds characterized by horizontal layering with a broad flat base. When stratus clouds occur on the ground the result is fog.
Materials like metals that transfer heat efficiently are called:
conductors |
|
insulators |
|
reflectors |
|
refractors |
Heat is always transferred from warmer to cooler environments and conduction is the simplest way this transfer can occur. It is accomplished through direct contact between materials and materials like metals that transfer heat efficiently are called conductors while those that conduct heat poorly, such as plastic, are called insulators.
Which of these represents the path of blood flow through the heart?
left atrium → right ventricle → lungs → left atrium → right ventricle |
|
right atrium → right ventricle → lungs → left atrium → left ventricle |
|
left atrium → left ventricle → lungs → right atrium → right ventricle |
|
right atrium → left ventricle → lungs → left atrium → right ventricle |
To provide oxygen to the body, blood flows through the heart in a path formed by the right atrium → right ventricle → lungs → left atrium → left ventricle → body. When blood enters the right side of the heart it is deoxygenated. It enters the left side of the heart oxygenated after traveling to the lungs.
Which of the following is not true about mass and weight?
mass 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 |
|
weight depends on the location where it is measured |
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.
Elements that belong to the same period in the Periodic Table of the Elements have the same number of:
electrons |
|
atomic mass units |
|
electron shells |
|
protons |
The rows of the Periodic Table are called periods and contain elements that have the same number of electron shells ordered from lower to higher atomic number.
