If an object sinks in a fluid, _____.

• the density of the fluid is greater than the density of the object
• the density of the fluid is less than the density of the object
• the density of the fluid is equal to the density of the object

• True
• False

The term fluids generally applies to:

• solid and liquid

• liquid and gas

• solid and plasma

• water only

Which statements below is INCORRECT about liquids and gases?

• Liquids possess greater kinetic energy than gases.

• Gases have weak molecular force of attraction while liquids have a moderate force of attraction.

• Liquids have a definite size where gases can expand to fill any closed container.

• Gases are easily compressed where liquids are not.

These statements are about the particle model of matter. Which one is not correct?

• Liquids are hard to compress because their particles are very close together

• Gases expand to fill their container because there are only weak forces between the particles

• Liquids can flow because there are only very weak forces between the particles

• Solids have a fixed shape because there are very strong forces between the particles

Why do solids expand when they are heated?

• The particles get bigger

• The particles vibrate more and take up more space

• The particles vibrate more and get closer together

• The particles stick together

Density is

• the weight of a fixed mass of something

• the volume of a fixed weight of something

• the weight of a fixed volume of something

• the mass of a fixed volume of something
