1

Sound travels fastest through which of the following media?

49% Answer Correctly

metal

air

vacuum

water


Solution

The speed of a sound wave will vary with the medium.  Sound travels fastest through media that has particles that are very close together, like metal. Thus, it travels faster through water than through air and doesn't travel at all through a vacuum (there are no particles in empty space to vibrate).


2

Which of the following states of matter exists at the lowest temperature?

71% Answer Correctly

none of these

solid

liquid

gas


Solution

Solids exist at a lower temperature than liquids which exist at a lower temperature than gases.


3

Molecules and atoms that are inputs to a chemical reaction are known as which of the following?

63% Answer Correctly

fuel

reactants

products

components


Solution

During a chemical reaction molecules and atoms (reactants) are rearranged into new combinations that result in new kinds of atoms or molecules (products).

Which of the following is related to the Cambrian Explosion?

59% Answer Correctly

carbon dating

first civilizations

extinction of dinosaurs

fossil record


Solution

The Cambrian period is one of the most significant geological time periods. Lasting about 53 million years, it marked a dramatic burst of changes in life on Earth known as the Cambrian Explosion. It is from this period that the majority of the history of life on Earth, as documented by fossils, is found. Called the fossil record, the layering of these mineralized imprints of organisms preserved in sedementary rock have allowed geologists to build a historical record of plant and animal life on Earth.
