For an investigation a teacher dropped a bolt into a container of maple syrup and asked students to remove it without touching the syrup. The students first tried to use a strong magnet to remove the bolt, but it remained on the bottom of the container. They finally poured the syrup into another container to get the bolt out.


Which of these best describes some of the bolt's physical properties?

a)

The bolt is magnetic and has the same density as the maple syrup.

b)

The bolt is nonmagnetic and more dense than the maple syrup.

c)

The bolt is nonmagnetic and less dense than the maple syrup.

d)

The bolt is magnetic and less dense than the maple syrup

11.

Which physical property is determined by the relationship of mass to volume?

a)

Density

b)

Boiling point

c)

Weight

d)

Solubility

12.

The table lists some physical properties of two objects.

Based on their properties, which of the objects is most likely a metal?

a)

Object 1, because it is a solid that is less dense than water

b)

Object 2, because all metals float in water

c)

Object 2, because metals conduct thermal energy and electricity

d)

Object 1, because it can be used to provide insulation for thermal energy

13.

c)

Rock 2 is 5 grams heavier than Rock 1.

d)

Rock 1 is 5 grams heavier than Rock 2.

14.
