1

Molecules and atoms that are outputs from a chemical reaction are known as which of the following?

56% Answer Correctly

products

reactants

side effects

results


Solution

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


2

During continental drift, the drifting plates move across which of the following?

50% Answer Correctly

sediment

fault lines

water

liquid mantle


Solution

The crust and the rigid lithosphere (upper mantle) is made up of 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.


3

The energy posessed by a ball on the window ledge of a tall building is an example of what kind of energy?

66% Answer Correctly

kinetic

inherent

potential

gravitational


Solution

Kinetic energy is the energy posessed by a moving object. Potential energy is stored energy in a stationary object based on its location, position, shape, or state.


4

Poor balance could indicate an issue with which part of the nervous system?

64% Answer Correctly

spinal cord

medulla

cerebellum

cerebrum


Solution

The cerebellum is a large cluster of nerves at the base of the brain that's responsible for balance, movement, and muscle coordination.


5

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

75% Answer Correctly

plasma

gas

solid

liquid


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.
