An element in the physical state of __________ maintains a constant volume but their shape depends upon the shape of their container.
solid |
|
gas |
|
liquid |
|
plasma |
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.
The pitch of the siren of an approaching ambulance changes as it approaches you. This is an example of which of the following?
Doppler effect |
|
reflection |
|
sound radiation |
|

The Doppler effect occurs when the source or listener (or both) of sound waves is moving. If they're moving closer together, the listener perceives the sound with a higher pitch and, when they're moving apart, the listener perceives the sound with a lower pitch.
The rows of the Periodic Table of the Elements are called:
groups |
|
periods |
|

|

Which of these does not contain oxygenated blood?
left ventricle |
|
right atrium |
|
aorta |
|
pulmonary vein |
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.
The dwarf planet Pluto is located where?
between the orbits of Jupiter and Saturn |
|
outside the solar system |
|
in the Kuiper Belt |
|
in the asteroid belt |
The Kuiper Belt is similar to the asteroid belt but much larger. Extending beyond the orbit of Neptune, it contains objects composed mostly of frozen methane, ammonia, and water. Most notably, the Kuiper Belt is home to Pluto, a dwarf planet that, until a 2006 reclassification, was considered the ninth planet of the solar system.
