3

Heat is always transferred from __________ to __________ environments.

68% Answer Correctly

dense, empty

cooler, warmer

warmer, cooler

empty, dense
Solution

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.

4

Which of the following is not a characteristic of the Sun?

52% Answer Correctly

is composed of hydrogen and helium

formed 2.6 billion years ago

is a yellow dwarf star

makes up over 99% of the mass of the solar system
Solution

The Sun is a G-type main-sequence star (G2V) but is informally known as a yellow dwarf star. Composed of 73% hydrogen and 25% helium, the hot plasma that makes up the Sun reaches 9,900°F (5,505°C) at the surface. It formed approximately 4.6 billion years ago and makes up 99.86% of the mass in the solar system.
