fungi |
|
bacteria |
|
plants |
|
animals |
Below domain, life is classified into six kingdoms: plants, animals, archaebacteria, eubacteria, and fungi. The last kingdom, protists, include all microscopic organisms that are not bacteria, animals, plants or fungi. (Archaebacteria and eubacteria are sometimes combined into a single kingdom, monera.)
Which of the following would you find in the side view mirror of a car?
convex mirror |
|
concave lens |
|
concave mirror |
|
convex lens |
A concave (or converging) mirror bulges inward and focuses reflected light on the mirror's focal point where the mirror's angles of incidence converge. In contrast, a convex (or diverging) mirror bulges outward and diffuses the light waves that strike it. A common use of a concave mirror is in a reflecting telescope, a common use of a convex mirror is in the side view mirror of a car.
Force is measured in newtons (N) with 1 N being the force required to impart an acceleration of:
1 m/s to a mass of 1 kg |
|
1 m/s2 to a mass of 1 kg/s2 |
|
1 m/s2 to a mass of 1 kg |
|
1 mph to a mass of 1 kg |
Weight is a force that describes the attraction of gravity on an object. Force is measured in newtons (N) with 1 N being the force required to impart an acceleration of 1 m/s2 to a mass of 1 kg.
Leafy vegetables, beans, potatoes, fruits, and whole grains are good sources of:
unsaturated fat |
|
saturated fat |
|
protein |
|
fiber |
Fiber provides bulk to help the large intestine carry away waste. Good sources of fiber are leafy vegetables, beans, potatoes, fruits, and whole grains.
The pitch of the siren of an approaching ambulance changes as it approaches you. This is an example of which of the following?
Doppler effect |
|
refraction |
|
sound radiation |
|
reflection |
The Doppler effect occurs when the source or listener (or both) of sound waves is moving. If they're moving closer together, the listener perceives the sound with a higher pitch and, when they're moving apart, the listener perceives the sound with a lower pitch.
