Which of the following is not true about mass and weight?
weight depends on the location where it is measured |
|
mass depends on the location where it is measured |
|
weight is the force exerted on an object by gravity |
|
mass is the amount of matter something has |
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.
The crust and lithosphere of the Earth is made up of which of the following?
plates |
|
metamorphic rock |
|
sedimentary rock |
|
continents |
The crust and the rigid lithosphere (upper mantle) is made up approximately thirty separate plates. These plates more very slowly on the slightly more liquid mantle (asthenosphere) beneath them. This movement has resulted in continental drift which is the gradual movement of land masses across Earth's surface. Continental drift is a very slow process, occurring over hundreds of millions of years.
Which of the following states of matter exists at the highest temperature?
liquid |
|
gas |
|
solid |
|
none of these |
Solids exist at a lower temperature than liquids which exist at a lower temperature than gases.
pH is a scale that measures of how basic or acidic a solution is. A solution with a pH of 9 is:
water |
|
acidic |
|
neutral |
|
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.

To convert from C° to F° use:
\(F° = {9 \over 5}C° + 32\)
\(F° = {9 \over 5}(0) + 32\)
\(F° = 0 + 32 = 32\)
