Heat is always transferred from __________ to __________ environments.
empty, dense |
|
warmer, cooler |
|
dense, empty |
|
cooler, warmer |
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.
Which of the following is the narrowest classification of life?
domain |
|
genus |
|
species |
|
family |
The narrowest classification of life, species, contains organisms that are so similar that they can only reproduce with others of the same species.
Velocity is the rate at which an object changes position. What is the formula for velocity?
\(\vec{v} = \vec{d}t \) |
|
none of these |
|
\(\vec{v} = { t \over \vec{d} } \) |
|
\(\vec{v} = { \vec{d} \over t } \) |
Velocity is the rate at which an object changes position. Rate is measured in time and position is measured in displacement so the formula for velocity becomes \(\vec{v} = { \vec{d} \over t } \)
The four planets closest to the Sun are called terrestrial. What does terrestrial mean?
the planets have moons |
|
the planets are Earth-like |
|
the planets have magnetic fields |
|
the planets have water |
The four planets closest to the Sun (Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars) are called terrestrial (Earth-like) planets because, like the Earth, they're solid with inner metal cores covered by rocky surfaces.

To convert from C° to F° use:
\(F° = {9 \over 5}C° + 32\)
\(F° = {9 \over 5}(5) + 32\)
\(F° = {45 \over 5} + 32\)
\(F° = 9 + 32 = 41\)
