1

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

75% Answer Correctly

plasma

liquid

gas

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.


2

__________ and __________ pair to strengthen bones.

65% Answer Correctly

iron, calcium

vitamin D, calcium

calcium, vitamin A

vitamin D, magnesium


Solution

Vitamin D helps calcium strengthen bones while also aiding muscle, nerve, and immune system function.


3

Which of the following is not true about mass and weight?

55% Answer Correctly

mass is the amount of matter something has

weight is the force exerted on an object by gravity

weight depends on the location where it is measured

mass depends on the location where it is measured


Solution

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.


4

"The acceleration of an object as produced by a net force is directly proportional to the magnitude of the net force, in the same direction as the net force, and inversely proportional to the mass of the object." This describes which of Newton's laws of motion?

64% Answer Correctly

first

third

fourth

second


Solution

Newton's second law of motion states that The acceleration of an object as produced by a net force is directly proportional to the magnitude of the net force, in the same direction as the net force, and inversely proportional to the mass of the object. This law basically means that the greater the mass of an object, the more force is needed to overcome its inertia.


5

Which of these vitamins doesn't come from food?

75% Answer Correctly

A

D

C

Potassium


Solution

Vitamins are necessary for a wide variety of bodily processes. Some vitamins like Vitamins A and C come from diet but others, like Vitamin D, are generated in response to sunlight.
