1

An element in the physical state of __________ maintains a constant volume and shape.

86% Answer Correctly

solid

liquid

gel

gas


Solution

An element in a solid state has atoms or molecules that are constricted and do not move freely. Solids maintain a constant volume and shape and exist at a lower temperature than liquids or gases.


2

Convert 5C° to F°.

53% Answer Correctly

41

-23

37

27


Solution

To convert from C° to F° use:

\(F° = {9 \over 5}C° + 32\)

\(F° = {9 \over 5}(5) + 32\)

\(F° = {45 \over 5} + 32\)

\(F° = 9 + 32 = 41\)


3

Which of these is not a component of blood?

82% Answer Correctly

red blood cells

marrow

white blood cells

plasma


Solution

Blood is created in bone marrow and is made up of cells suspended in liquid plasma. Red blood cells carry oxygen, white blood cells fight infection, and platelets are cell fragments that allow blood to clot.


4

All surface water is part of the:

76% Answer Correctly

hydrosphere

geosphere

atmosphere

lithosphere


Solution

The biosphere is the global ecological system integrating all living beings and their relationships. This includes their interactions with the lithosphere (the rigid outer part of the earth, consisting of the crust and upper mantle), hydrosphere (all surface water), and atmosphere (the envelope of gases surrounding the planet).


5

Which of the following is the formula for power?

56% Answer Correctly

\(P = {w \over t}\)

\(P = \vec{w}t\)

\(P = w t\)

\(P = {\vec{w} \over t}\)


Solution

Power is the rate at which work is performed or work per unit time:  \(P = {w \over t}\)  and is measured in watts (W).
