1

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

75% Answer Correctly

solid

liquid

plasma

gas


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

The heat from the Sun traveling to Earth is an example of which of the following?

85% Answer Correctly

radiation

convection

electricity

conduction


Solution

Radiation occurs when electromagnetic waves transmit heat. An example is the heat from the Sun as it travels to Earth.


3

Which of the following states of matter exists at the lowest temperature?

71% Answer Correctly

gas

none of these

liquid

solid


Solution

Solids exist at a lower temperature than liquids which exist at a lower temperature than gases.


4

In the water cycle, infiltration is most closely related to:

41% Answer Correctly

oceans

water table

rivers

runoff


Solution

The water then accumulates as runoff and eventually returns to bodies of water or is absorbed into the Earth (infiltration) and becomes part of the water table, an underground resevoir of fresh water.


5

In the heart, the __________ artery and vein manage blood flow to the lungs.

69% Answer Correctly

aorta

atrial

pulmonary

capillary


Solution

The two largest veins in the body, the venae cavae, pass blood to the right ventricle which pumps the blood to the lungs through the pulmonary artery. Blood picks up oxygen in the lungs and returns it to the left atrium via the pulmonary vein.
