0K |
|
absolute zero |
|
-273°C |
|
32°F |

Earth's breathable air is held in which atmospheric layer?
mesosphere |
|
troposphere |
|
thermosphere |
|
stratosphere |
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.
The angle of reflection is equal to which the following?
angle of incidence |
|
refractive index |
|
focal point |
|
90° |
The law of reflection specifies how waves, including light waves, bounce off of surfaces. Specifically, the angle of incidence of the approaching wave is equal to the angle of reflection of the reflected wave as measured from a line perpendicular (90°) to the surface.
Which of these foods should a person with high cholesterol avoid?
olive oil |
|
vegetable oils |
|
avocados |
|
eggs |
Fats come in three types, saturated (meats, shellfish, eggs, milk), monounsaturated (olives, almonds, avocados), and polyunsaturated (vegetable oils). Saturated fats can raise LDL ("bad") cholesterol while unsaturated fats can decrease it.
"For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction." This describes which of Newton's laws of motion?
second |
|
first |
|
third |
|
fourth |
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.
