family |
|

Heat is always transferred from __________ to __________ environments.
cooler, warmer |
|
dense, empty |
|
warmer, cooler |
|
empty, dense |
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.
What is the body's largest artery?
aorta |
|
arteriole |
|
capillary |
|
vena cava |
The aorta is the body's largest artery and receives blood from the pulmonary vein via the left ventricle. From there, blood is circulated through the rest of the body through smaller arteries called arterioles that branch out from the heart. Finally, blood is delivered to bodily tissues through capillaries.
Earth's breathable air is held in which atmospheric layer?
troposphere |
|
stratosphere |
|
thermosphere |
|
mesosphere |
The Earth's atmosphere has several layers starting with the troposphere which is closest in proximity to the surface. Containing most of the Earth's breathable air (oxygen and nitrogen), it's a region with warmer temperatures closer to the surface and cooler temperatures farther away which results in the rising and falling air that generates weather.
"For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction." This describes which of Newton's laws of motion?
second |
|
fourth |
|
third |
|
first |
Newton's third law of motion states that For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. When an object exerts a force on another object, the second object exerts a force of equal magnitude in the opposite direction on the first object.
