1

An element in the physical state of __________ maintains neither a constant volume nor a constant shape.

75% Answer Correctly

plasma

gas

liquid

solid


Solution

The gaseous state occurs at a higher temperature range than the solid and liquid states of the same substance. In this state, molecules flow very freely around each other and will spread out as far as they're able. Gases maintain neither a constant volume nor a constant shape.

Which of the following is metamorphic rock?

52% Answer Correctly

obsidian

marble

coal

granite


Solution

The Earth's rocks fall into three categories based on how they're formed. Igneous rock (granite, basalt, obsidian) is formed from the hardening of molten rock (lava), sedimentary rock (shale, sandstone, coal) is formed by the gradual despositing and cementing of rock and other debris, and metamorphic rock (marble, slate, quartzite) which is formed when existing rock is altered though pressure, temperature, or chemical processes.


3

Which of blood component allows blood to clot?

74% Answer Correctly

49% Answer Correctly

0°C

0°F

32°F

273K


Solution

The Fahrenheit scale fixes the freezing point of water at 32°F, the Celsuis scale at 0°C, and the Kelvin scale at 273K.
