Module 3: Natural Forces Affecting the Driver Vocabulary: Please define six (6) of the following terms in your own words. Please do not just copy and paste the definition. 1. Gravity - The force that attracts a body toward the center of the earth, or toward any other physical body having mass. For most purposes Newton's laws of gravity apply, with minor modifications to take the general theory of relativity into account.
Reasons for Seasons Some students think that the seasons are due to the distance of the Earth from the Sun since objects closer to a heat source tend to be hotter. This notion is based on the incorrect belief that the Earth’s orbit is an exaggerated ellipse. Since the Earth’s orbit is nearly circular, its distance from the Sun is fairly constant. Lambert indicates that students may also misunderstand the orientation of the Earth’s axis. Some students believe that the Earth’s tilt changes in degree as the seasons change and that the axis points in different directions as the Earth orbits the Sun.
(140-145)/ 140 x = 3.5 6. The atomic radius you estimated from your graph is most likely not exactly the same as the true atomic radius of tin. There is a small percent error.
12. How does the fact that the Earth has a magnetic field help provide evidence for the theory of plate tectonics? The magnetic “structure” of the Earth is changing because of plate tectonics. 13. What were the main components of the atmosphere when the Earth formed, and what are the main components today?
If you pass a metal conductor through a magnetic field an electrical field is generated in that conductor. When you place two cables next to one another EMI will cause cross-talk which is where signals from one cable is picked up on the other cable. Because fiber does not conduct electricity and uses only light signals in a glass fiber instead of electrical signals through a metallic conductor, to transmit data. Since it does not use any metallic media it is immune to EMI. Higher Possible Data Rates (Oliviero 250) are possible because light is immune to interference and can be modulated at very high frequencies.
-”Wegner used the shapes of matching shorelines on different continents as a supporting piece of evidence for continental drift. 3. Describe Earth's magnetic field, including how it has changed through time. -Similar to a simple bar magnet, ends have opposite polarities that cause magnetic objects to align parallel to it’s magnetic field. Poles have wandered from geographical position over the years.
The vector function r(t) = t sin t, ___________ , t describes a spiral on the surface of a cone. B. For vector function r(t), unit tangent vector T(t) = b C. 10pts . r (t) dt is the __________________________ of a space curve r(t) from t = a t o t = b. a D. TRUE or FALSE: Curvature is negative when moving out of a curve. D. The normal plane for space curve C at a point is the plane containing unit vectors ______ and _______ E. F. TRUE or FALSE: B(t) does not need to be scaled since it is already a unit vector.
Science Physics Core science questions and answers- Topic 1- The solar system- 1. What is a geocentric model? It is a model with the earth at the centre. 2. Describe two differences between ptolemy’s and Copernicus’s models- What is at the centre of the model and the way in which the planets followed smaller circles in their orbits in ptolemy’s model.

Which type of intermolecular attraction is strongest: (a) (b) (c) (d) London Dispersion attraction dipole-dipole attraction gravitational attraction magnetic attraction My answer is (b)(7:49:56 PM)
Not only is the base of the cone different in each picture, but the round patch of snow in the central crater appears to shift position relative to the base. In which photograph (left, middle, or right) does the image of the cone appear to be least distorted? Why? The same varying-perspective view that distorts features in air photos also makes it possible to view them stereoscopically. Thus, when any two overlapping photos in a sequence are placed side-by-side and viewed with the stereoscope, you see the overlap area as a vertically exaggerated three-dimensional image of the landscape.
