Small rocks shed by asteroids and comets that reach the earth are called:
meteorites
Smaller rocks shed by asteroids and comets are called meteoroids. When these rocks reach Earth's atmosphere, they burn up in the mesosphere and become meteors. If a meteor manages to reach the Earth, it is called a meteorite.
Which is the proper order of Earth's atmospheric layers from the surface up to space?
troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere
The troposphere is the closest layer to Earth, followed by the stratosphere, mesosphere, and finally the thermosphere which borders space.
According to Boyle's Law, pressure and volume are inversely proportional:
\( \frac{P_1}{P_2} \) = \( \frac{V_2}{V_1} \)
In this problem, V2 = 10 ft.3, V1 = 30 ft.3 and P1 = 6.0 psi. Solving for P2:
P2 = \( \frac{P_1}{\frac{V_2}{V_1}} \) = \( \frac{6.0 psi}{\frac{10 ft.^3}{30 ft.^3}} \) = 18 psi
Which of the following is not a function of the oil pan?
cools engine oil
The oil pan contains the engine oil reservoir of from four to six quarts of oil and feeds the oil pump through the oil pickup tube. An oil strainer floats at the top of the oil in the oil pan and screens debris from the oil before feeding it to the oil pump.
