Which of the following states of matter exists at the highest temperature?
gas |
|
none of these |
|
solid |
|
liquid |
Solids exist at a lower temperature than liquids which exist at a lower temperature than gases.
Which of the following is not true about simple magnets?
all of these are untrue |
|
opposite poles attract each other |
|
same poles repel each other |
|
opposite poles repel each other |
Simple magnets have two poles, north and south, and opposite poles attract each other (N attracts S, S attracts N). Likewise, the same pole of two magnets repel (N repels N, S repels S). The Earth has a magnetic field and North and South Poles which enables the use of a magnetic compass to determine direction.
An element in the physical state of __________ maintains a constant volume but their shape depends upon the shape of their container.
gas |
|
liquid |
|
plasma |
|
solid |
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.
The rows of the Periodic Table of the Elements are called:
families |
|
groups |
|
periods |
|
shells |
The rows of the Periodic Table are called periods and contain elements that have the same number of electron shells ordered from lower to higher atomic number.
Which of the following is not a vector quantity?
velocity |
|
mass |
|
acceleration |
|
momentum |
Velocity and displacement are vector quantities which means each is fully described by both a magnitude and a direction. In contrast, scalar quantities are quantities that are fully described by a magnitude only. A variable indicating a vector quantity will often be shown with an arrow symbol: \(\vec{v}\)
