In space, the gravitational environment can negatively affect the bone density of astronauts. Which will most likely protect the bones health on the space mission?
Drinking extra fluids
Eating more calories
Wearing protective clothing
Engaging in a daily routine using exercise
Which of the following is NOT an accommodation provided by the astronaut's suit?
Air Pressure
Insulation
Waste Management
Microgravity
The insulated feature of space suit layers are designed to-
Regulate temperature
protect from radiation
trap excessive CO2
provide pure O2
According to the information, why would planet E NOT be a good place to look for life?
Too hot
no oxygen
Too cold
No water
Which planet would be the most likely place to observe for life?
A
B
C
D
All of the following are ways that the atmosphere makes the existence of life on Earth possible EXCEPT-
maintains a constant temperature
shields Earth from small collisions
offers protection from radiation
allows for gas exchange between plants and animals
The equipment inside of a space vehicle must be attached by cords to accommodate for which factor?
pressure
friction
radiation
microgravity
Which characteristics support life ob Earth?
Planet W
Planet X
Planet Y
Planet Z
Why do astronaut's need to wear space suites with their own supply of oxygen to make repairs on the ISS?
the gases in space are poisonous to humans
extreme temperatures in space would harm them
there is no atmosphere in space
they could float off into space
Which planet could most likely support human life?
A
B
C
D
Why would life on earth be unlikely to survive if the liquid iron core did not produce a magnetic field?
Oxygen would not be attracted to the lower atmosphere, which would not allow for respiration
Asteroids would not be repelled, which cause constant explosions on the surface
The Sun's heat would not be attracted, which would make the surface too cold
The radiation from the Sun would not be repelled, which would make the surface too hot.
Earth's atmosphere is made up of mainly Nitrogen and Oxygen. What are the percentages?
21% and 78%
50% and 49%
76% and 23%
86% and 13%
Which characteristic allows for more frequent space exploration compared to previous manned space missions?
the more spacious cabins
the ability to land at an airport
the ability to reuse the shuttle
the attachment to a separate rocket
Which characteristic of the Moon made it the best choice for the first manned space missions instead of another celestial body like Mars
The Moon has the most similar gravity to the Earth
The Moon has the most similar atmosphere to the Earth
The Moon is the most likely celestial body to have life
The Moon is the closest celestial body to the Earth
Rocket Fuel burns when ignited in an oxygen rich atmosphere. How did the Apollo missions reach the Moon without the ability to burn rocket fuel beyond Earth's atmosphere?
Slowly drifted toward the Moon until it reached its destination
It orbited Earth and used its force of gravity to accelerate towards the Moon
Solar panels to generate electrical engines that propelled the Apollo spacecraft toward the Moon
The Moon's gravity pulled the Apollo the rest of the distance to the Moon
