1

Water coming to a boil on a stove, ice melting, and steam from a cup of coffee are all examples of which of the following? 

66% Answer Correctly

reflection

convection

radiation

conduction
Solution

Convection is the transfer of heat by the circulation or movement of the heated parts of a liquid or gas.

2

An electrically charged atom is a(n):

49% Answer Correctly

ion

proton

electron

neutron
Solution

A compound is a substance containing two or more different chemical elements bound together by a chemical bond. In ionic compounds, one atom borrows an electron from another atom resulting in two ions (electrically charged atoms) of opposite polarities that then become bonded electrostatically.

3

Tough fibrous cords of connective tissue that connect muscles to the skeleton are called:

71% Answer Correctly

ligaments

vertebra

cartilage

tendons
Solution

Tough fibrous cords of connective tissue called tendons connect muscles to the skeleton while another type of connective tissue called ligaments connect bones to other bones at joints (elbow, knee, fingers, spinal column).

85% Answer Correctly

vertebrate

arthropod

"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

third

second

fourth

first
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.
