When looking at a map, a student realizes that Birmingham is nearly due west of Atlanta, and Nashville is nearly due north of Birmingham. If
the distance from Atlanta to Birmingham is roughly 150 mi, and the
distance from Birmingham to Nashville is roughly 200 mi. a) Draw a
sketch of the scenario including the distances. b) Determine the
estimated distance from Atlanta to Nashville?*

How does the image distance (di) of a convex lens compare with the image distance of a concave lens? a. the image distance of the convex lens is positive, and that of the concave lens is negative. b. both are negative for a virtual image. c. both are positive for a virtual image d. the image distance of the convex lens is negative, and that of the concave lens is positive.

Which lists the main components of darwin’s theory of evolution? a. random mutations drive evolution; the evolution of a population happens slowly; organisms have common ancestors; organisms do not change. b. natural selection drives evolution; the evolution of a population happens slowly; organisms have common ancestors; organisms change over time. c. natural selection drives evolution; the evolution of a population happens rapidly; organisms have common ancestors; organisms change over time. d. random mutations drive evolution; the evolution of a population happens rapidly; organisms have common ancestors; organisms do not change.

Beryl states that insulation with the smallest possible thermal conductivity is best to keep a house warm in winter, but worst for keeping a house cool in summer. sapphire insists the reverse is true: low thermal conductivity is good in the summer, but bad in the winter. which one, if either is correct? a. beryl, because low thermal conductivity results in low heat transfer. b. beryl, because low thermal conductivity results in high heat transfer. d. sapphire, because low thermal conductivity results in high heat transfer. e. neither, because low heat transfer is desirable both in summer and in winter.
