What is kilo, hecto, deko, unit, deci, centi, mili
100
What are the three phases of matter we discussed in class?
What is solid, liquid, gas
100
Define mass and volume.
What is Mass is a measure of how much matter is contained in an object. Volume is the amount of space a substance occupies.
100
Which layer of the atmosphere do we live in?
What is troposphere
100
What are the three forms of heat transfer?
What is conduction, convection, radiation.
200
What are the base units?
What is grams, meters, and liters.
200
Define the terms melting point and boiling point.
What is melting point= temperature at which there is a phases change from a solid to a liquid, boiling point= the temperature at which there is a phase change from a liquid to a gas.
200
What tools would you use to find mass? What tools would you use to find the volume of an object.
What is an electronic scale or a triple beam balance. For volume you could use a ruler/ meter stick or the displacement method with a graduated cylinder and water.
200
Name the forms of radiation in order from longest wavelength to shortest wavelength. Include each compenent of the visible light spectrum.
What is Radio, micro, infrared, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet, UV, xray, gamma
200
Define each of the forms of heat transfer.
What is radiation= heat transfer by electromagnetic waves traveling through empty space, conduction= heat transfer via physical contact, convection= heat transfer via circulation of hot and cool liquid or gas particles.
300
Convert 6cm into meters
What is 0.06m
300
Describe the formation of particles in a solid, liquid, and a gas. Provide visuals.
What is solid particles are tightly packs, liquid particles are sliding over each other moving faster than those of a solid, gas particles are fast moving and moving freely about.
300
What is the definition of density?
What is a measure of how much mass of a substance is contained in a given volume.
300
What is the relationship between frequency and wavelength? Provide an example.
What is as wavelength increases frequency decreases. As wavelength decreases, frequency increases. For example, gamma rays have short wavelengths and high frequencies whereas radio waves are long with low frequencies.
300
Why is the blacktop warmer than the sidewalk?
What is the blacktop, being a darker color, absorbes more of the suns radiation than the lighter colored sidewalk which reflects more of the suns light. When the blacktop absorbs the light it results in its particles vibrating at much higher speeds. This results in an increased temperature.
400
Convert 3kg into miligrams
What is 3,000,000
400
Define each of the phases of matter in terms of shape and volume.
What is What is solids have a definite shape and a definite volume. Liquids have a definite volume but not a definite shape. Gases have neither a definite shape or definite volume.
400
If the mass of an object is 15g and the volume of the object is 5mL what is the density?
What is 3g/mL
400
Name the layers of the atmosphere in order from the farthest to closest.
What is Exosphere, Thermosphere, Mesophere, Stratosphere, Troposphere.
400
What is the Urban Heat Island?
What is increased temperatures in urban areas due to the larger amounts of dark material (roads, buildings, etc.) that light reflecting material (forests). The darker materials absorb more light that the lighter materials causing their particles to vibrate at much higher speeds. This is what causes heat production.
500
Convert 5L into mL using dimensional analysis. You must show your work and it must be done correctly.
What is 5,000.
500
Look at the graph on the board. Label each of the points on the graph.
What is A= solid, B= melting point, C= Liquid, D= Boiling point, E= Gas.
500
Rank the following substances in order of how they will layer when placed in a container.
A: mass= 12g, vol.= 3mL
B: mass 18g, vol.= 6mL
C: mass 10g, vol.= 2mL
What is C, A, B.
500
How does temperature vary in each the first four layers of the atmosphere?
What is troposphere= decrease, stratosphere= increase, mesosphere= decrease, thermosphere= increase
500
What specifically causes local winds?
What is the unequal heating of the Earth's surface in which warmer air rises and cooler air blows in to take its place.
