1

An element in the physical state of __________ maintains a constant volume but their shape depends upon the shape of their container.

81% Answer Correctly

gas

liquid

solid

plasma


Solution

In the liquid state, molecules flow freely around each other and exist at a higher temperature range than the same substance in a solid state. Liquids maintain a constant volume but their shape depends upon the shape of their container.


2

Leafy vegetables, beans, potatoes, fruits, and whole grains are good sources of:

81% Answer Correctly

saturated fat

fiber

protein

unsaturated fat


Solution

Fiber provides bulk to help the large intestine carry away waste. Good sources of fiber are leafy vegetables, beans, potatoes, fruits, and whole grains.


3

The connective tissue that connects bones to other bones at joints is called:

70% Answer Correctly

cartilage

tendons

knuckles

ligaments


Solution

Tough fibrous cords of connective tissue called tendons connect muscles to the skeleton while another type of connective tissue called ligaments connect bones to other bones at joints (elbow, knee, fingers, spinal column).


4

The angle of reflection is equal to which the following?

48% Answer Correctly

90°

refractive index

angle of incidence

focal point


Solution

The law of reflection specifies how waves, including light waves, bounce off of surfaces. Specifically, the angle of incidence of the approaching wave is equal to the angle of reflection of the reflected wave as measured from a line perpendicular (90°) to the surface.


5

Convert 5C° to F°.

53% Answer Correctly

27

37

41

-23


Solution

To convert from C° to F° use:

\(F° = {9 \over 5}C° + 32\)

\(F° = {9 \over 5}(5) + 32\)

\(F° = {45 \over 5} + 32\)

\(F° = 9 + 32 = 41\)
