Sound travels fastest through which of the following media?
metal |
|
air |
|
vacuum |
|
water |
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 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.
Elements that belong to the same period in the Periodic Table of the Elements have the same number of:
electrons |
|
electron shells |
|
atomic mass units |
|
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.
Which of the following is the formula for power?
\(P = \vec{w}t\) |
|
\(P = {\vec{w} \over t}\) |
|
\(P = w t\) |
|
\(P = {w \over t}\) |
Power is the rate at which work is performed or work per unit time: \(P = {w \over t}\) and is measured in watts (W).
