What is the Big Bang Theory?
The Big Bang Theory is the leading explanation for the origin of the universe, stating that it began as a singularity approximately 13.8 billion years ago.
True or False: The Big Bang was an explosion that created space and time.
True
Fill in the blank: The universe has been expanding since the _______.
Big Bang
What evidence supports the Big Bang Theory?
Evidence includes the cosmic microwave background radiation, the abundance of light elements, and the redshift of galaxies.
Multiple Choice: Which of the following is a consequence of the Big Bang Theory? A) The universe is static B) The universe is expanding C) The universe is contracting
B) The universe is expanding
True or False: The Big Bang Theory suggests that the universe will eventually stop expanding.
False
What are the three main elements formed during the first few minutes after the Big Bang?
Hydrogen, helium, and lithium
What is the Doppler effect?
The doppler effect is the increase or decrease of the frequency in waves as the source of the observer move towards or against eachothed
True or False: The Doppler effect only applies to sound waves.
False. The Doppler effect applies to all types of waves, including light waves.
Fill in the blank: The Doppler effect causes a _____ in frequency when the source of the wave is moving towards the observer.
increase
What happens to the frequency of a wave when the source is moving away from the observer?
The frequency decreases.
What is the definition of a rate of reaction
The rate of reaction refers to the speed at which the products are formed from the reactants in a chemical reaction
What are some things that can affect a chemical reaction?
Temperature, surface area, use of a catalyst, concentration
What does heat do to particles
Increase their kinetic energy
What does cold do to particles
Decrease their kinetic energy
What is kinetic energy
The source of energy for something moving
Do catalysts get used up after a chemical reaction?
No
Do catalysts have higher activation energy
No
What is meant by the rate if a reaction
How fast the reactants are converted into products
What does high concentration do with the collisions of particles?
More collisions
What does low concentration do with the collision of particles
Fewer collsions
What does decreasing the activation energy do to particles
More particles will have sufficient energy go overcome the energy barrier and react
What is the symbol for potassium
K
