Vaporization/ evaporation is the change of physical state from _______ to _______.
gas to liquid
liquid to gas
solid to gas
gas to solid
If someone sprays perfume in front of the class, why is it that we can smell it even from the back?
because gas has NO definite shape but takes the container's shape
because gas has low density
because gas has NO definite volume
because gas can diffuse easily
Why do you feel cool when you sweat?
because the sweat takes energy from your skin to escape through evaporation
because sweat releases energy to your skin that cools you down when it escapes through evaporation
because sweat takes up energy from the surrounding air causing your skin to loose energy
all of the choices
Why does your drink get cold when you put ice on them?
because the ice takes up energy from your drink causing them to get colder
because the ice takes up energy from the surrounding air causing your ice to melt
because the ice needs energy to melt causing it to release energy to your drink
none of the choices
solid
liquid
gas
all of the above

Andrea is trying to determine whether she would have a greater gravitational attraction to the moon or to the cat next to her on the couch. Which statement about Andrea gravitational attraction is true?
She would have a greater gravitational attraction to her cat. Even though the cat contains less mass, she is much closer to the cat than the moon.
She would have a greater gravitational attraction to the moon. Even though the moon is much further away, it contains much more mass than a cat.
There is no gravitational attraction between Tina and the moon or Tina and the cat. The moon is too far and the cat doesn’t have enough mass.
There is equal gravitational attraction between Tina and the moon and Tina and the cat.
