1

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

85% Answer Correctly

electricity

radiation

convection

conduction


Solution

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


2

Which of the following substances gives up negatively charged hydroxide ions (OH-) when dissolved in water?

42% Answer Correctly

base

ion

hydrogen

acid


Solution

An acid is a substance that gives up positively charged hydrogen ions (H+) when dissolved in water. A base (alkaline) gives up negatively charged hydroxide ions (OH-) when dissolved in water. pH is a scale that measures of how basic or acidic a solution is. Numbered from 0 to 14, solutions with a pH of 7 are neutral, less than 7 are acidic, more than 7 are alkaline.


3

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

convection

reflection

radiation

conduction


Solution

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


4

The energy posessed by a ball on the window ledge of a tall building is an example of what kind of energy?

66% Answer Correctly

kinetic

potential

inherent

gravitational


Solution

Kinetic energy is the energy posessed by a moving object. Potential energy is stored energy in a stationary object based on its location, position, shape, or state.


5

The heart __________ blood.

61% Answer Correctly

filters

oxygenates

creates

deoxygenates


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.
