3

Which of the following is not true about mass and weight?

55% Answer Correctly

weight depends on the location where it is measured

mass is the amount of matter something has

weight is the force exerted on an object by gravity

mass depends on the location where it is measured


Solution

Mass is the amount of matter something has while weight is the force exerted on an object's mass by gravity.  So, although a person's mass doesn't change when going from the Earth to the Moon, their weight will decrease because the force of the Moon's gravity is much less than that of Earth.


4

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

41% Answer Correctly

water table

runoff

rivers

oceans


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

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

75% Answer Correctly

plasma

gas

solid

liquid


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.
