Which of the following is the correct order for types of radiation from longest to shortest wavelength?
infrared waves → microwaves → ultraviolet light |
|
radio waves → visible light → gamma rays |
|
visible light → ultraviolet light → radio waves |
|
microwaves → radio waves → visible light |
The electromagnetic spectrum covers all possible wavelengths and frequencies of radiation. From lowest frequency (longest wavelength) to highest frequency (shortest wavelength) radiation: radio waves → microwaves → infrared waves → visible light → ultraviolet light → X-rays → gamma rays.
Which of these vitamins doesn't come from food?
A |
|
D |
|
Potassium |
|
C |
Vitamins are necessary for a wide variety of bodily processes. Some vitamins like Vitamins A and C come from diet but others, like Vitamin D, are generated in response to sunlight.
The crust and lithosphere of the Earth is made up of which of the following?
sedimentary rock |
|
metamorphic rock |
|
plates |
|
continents |
The crust and the rigid lithosphere (upper mantle) is made up approximately thirty separate plates. These plates more very slowly on the slightly more liquid mantle (asthenosphere) beneath them. This movement has resulted in continental drift which is the gradual movement of land masses across Earth's surface. Continental drift is a very slow process, occurring over hundreds of millions of years.
Which of the following is the formula for work?
\(W = \vec{F}\vec{d}\) |
|
\(W = {{F}\over{d}}\) |
|
\(W = {F}{d}\) |
|
\(W = {\vec{F} \over \vec{d} }\) |
Work is performed on an object when an applied force causes displacement along the same vector. Measured in joules (J) or newton-meter (Nm), work is calculated by multiplying force times displacement: \(W = \vec{F}\vec{d}\)
An asteroid belt holds many of the asteroids in our solar system. It is located between the orbits of which planets?
Mercury and Venus |
|
Jupiter and Saturn |
|
Mars and Jupiter |
|
Mars and Earth |
The solar system also contains over a million rocky fragments of at least 1km in diameter called asteroids as well as millions more with smaller diameters. Many of these asteroids are an asteroid belt between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter.
