An average bowling ball has a mass of 7.26 kilograms. On Earth, it also weighs 7.26 kilograms. On the moon or in outer space where the force of gravity is much weaker, the ball’s mass would still be 7.26 kilograms. However, because gravity isn’t pulling it down as strongly, it would weigh much less.
Which of the options listed below would be true if you stood on the moon?
your mass would increase
you would weigh more than you do on Earth
you would weigh the same as you do on Earth
Your same mass would stay the same
Getting a hot air balloon ready to take a ride takes some work. First the empty balloon is spread out on the ground. Then an electric fan is pointed toward the opening of the balloon and turned on. How does the fan cause it to inflate?
Invisible particles of the fan push against the inside of the balloon as the fan is in motion.
The weight of the fan causes the balloon to inflate because the balloon is lighter than the fan.
The fan pushes invisible air particles into the balloon that push against the inside of the balloon.
The fan heats the air inside the balloon, so the balloon becomes lighter than the air inside of it.
All matter is made up of smaller pieces of matter called ____.
particles
space
weight
chemicals
How are the particles in each state of matter different?
The particles are different sizes
The particles are different materials
The particles are different shapes
The particles are arranged differently
What is a solid?
The particles are close together and locked in position, so they cannot move around each other and can only vibrate.
Shape and volume are not fixed.
Has a fixed volume and shape.
Particles are pretty far apart and able to move around easily.
What is a liquid?
Particles are pretty far apart and able to move around easily.
Shape and volume are not fixed.
The particles are close together but they are able to move about.
Has a fixed volume but does not have a fixed shape.
What is a gas?
The particles are spread apart and move freely in all directions.
Does not have a fixed volume or shape. The amount of space that it takes up can change.
Shape and volume of particles are fixed.
Particles are very tightly packed, can only vibrate.
How can matter change from state to state? Select all that apply.
Each time matter changes state, it is simply the movement of molecules in them speeding up or slowing down.
When heat is added to a solid, it turns into a liquid. When heat is added to a liquid, it evaporates and becomes a gas.
When heat is removed from a gas it condenses and turns back into a liquid. When a liquid freezes, it turns into a solid.
Matter can't change from state to state.
