Question 8

How does the sun rotate

Answer 8

Magnetic fields and poles

Question 9

How old is the sun

Answer 9

4.5 billion years old

Question 10

How long until the sun burns out

Answer 10

5 billion years

Question 11

How much of the solar system’s mass is the sun?

Answer 11

99.8 percent

Question 12

Sometimes the
loops in sunspot regions suddenly connect, releasing large amounts of
energy. The energy heats gas on the sun to millions of degrees Celsius, causing the gas to explode into space.

Answer 12

Solar flare

Question 13

a giant cloud of solar plasma drenched with magnetic field lines that are blown away from the Sun during strong, long-duration solar flares and filament eruptions.

Answer 13

Coronal mass ejection

Question 14

areas of gas on the sun that are cooler than the
gas around them.

Answer 14

Sunspot

Question 15

Reddish loops of gas which link sunspots regions

Answer 15

Prominences

Question 16

Parts of nuclear decay

Answer 16

Alpha decay, beta decay, gamma decay

Question 17

How can Alpha particles penetrate

Answer 17

they may not penetrate deeply but they can do lots of damage to whatever they hit. Released inside the human body they can damage cells causing illness & disease.

Question 18

How can beta particles penetrate

Answer 18

they’re smaller & lighter so they penetrate deeper into material they hit.

Question 19

How can gamma rays penetrate

Answer 19

Have no mass & no charge.
●Travel at the speed of light.
●Emitted by nucleus when alpha or beta particle is created.
●Takes thick blocks of concrete or lead to stop gamma rays.

Question 20

What do alpha, beta,and gamma release

Answer 20

Alpha, beta, and gamma

Question 21

disturbances of matter. Energy traveling through a medium (solid, liquid, gas) or space.

Answer 21

Waves

Question 22

Two types of waves and examples

Answer 22

Transverse - water waves

Longitudal - sound waves

Question 23

Parts of a wavelength

Answer 23

Trough and crest

Question 24

Meters/second, the speed of a wave

Answer 24

wave speed

Question 25

The length of a wave, meter

Answer 25

Wavelength

Question 26

Formula for finding volume of a wave

Answer 26

V=lf

Question 27

Hertz

Answer 27

Answer 31

Electromagnetic Spectrum

Question 32

low frequency EM waves with wavelengths longer than 1mm. ■ These waves must be turned into sound waves by a radio before you can hear them

Answer 32

Radio waves
