pH is a scale that measures of how basic or acidic a solution is. A solution with a pH of 4 is:
basic |
|
neutral |
|
acidic |
|
alkaline |
An acid is a substance that gives up positively charged hydrogen ions (H+) when dissolved in water. A base (alkaline) gives up negatively charged hydroxide ions (OH-) when dissolved in water. pH is a scale that measures of how basic or acidic a solution is. Numbered from 0 to 14, solutions with a pH of 7 are neutral, less than 7 are acidic, more than 7 are alkaline.
The energy posessed by a ball on the window ledge of a tall building is an example of what kind of energy?
gravitational |
|
potential |
|
inherent |
|
kinetic |
Kinetic energy is the energy posessed by a moving object. Potential energy is stored energy in a stationary object based on its location, position, shape, or state.
Which of the following is not true about mass and weight?
weight is the force exerted on an object by gravity |
|
weight depends on the location where it is measured |
|
mass is the amount of matter something has |
|
mass depends on the location where it is measured |
Mass is the amount of matter something has while weight is the force exerted on an object's mass by gravity. So, although a person's mass doesn't change when going from the Earth to the Moon, their weight will decrease because the force of the Moon's gravity is much less than that of Earth.
During digestion, the kidneys filter substances from the blood. Which of the following is not filtered by the kidneys?
minerals |
|
salt |
|
water |
|
fats |
Chemical waste like excess water, minerals, and salt are filtered from the blood by the kidneys and secreted into the urine. Urine is transported from the kidneys to the bladder through ureters.
What kind of weather front is likely to create clouds and storms?
temperate front |
|
cold front |
|
warm front |
|
stationary front |
A warm front is the boundary between warm and cool (or cold) air when the warm air is replacing the cold air. Warm air at the surface pushes above the cool air mass creating clouds and storms.
