1

Sound travels fastest through which of the following media?

49% Answer Correctly

air

vacuum

water

metal


Solution

The speed of a sound wave will vary with the medium.  Sound travels fastest through media that has particles that are very close together, like metal. Thus, it travels faster through water than through air and doesn't travel at all through a vacuum (there are no particles in empty space to vibrate).

62% Answer Correctly

omnivores

carnivores

herbivores

3

Which of these does not contain oxygenated blood?

48% Answer Correctly

right atrium

left ventricle

aorta

pulmonary vein


Solution

To provide oxygen to the body, blood flows through the heart in a path formed by the right atrium → right ventricle → lungs → left atrium → left ventricle → body. When blood enters the right side of the heart it is deoxygenated. It enters the left side of the heart oxygenated after traveling to the lungs.


4

An element in the physical state of __________ maintains a constant volume but their shape depends upon the shape of their container.

82% Answer Correctly

plasma

liquid

solid

gas


Solution

In the liquid state, molecules flow freely around each other and exist at a higher temperature range than the same substance in a solid state. Liquids maintain a constant volume but their shape depends upon the shape of their container.


5

72% Answer Correctly

kinetic energy

a force

power

work


Solution

Force is applied to change an object's speed or direction of motion.
