Subjects : science, literacy
Instructions:
  • Answer 50 questions in 15 minutes.
  • If you are not ready to take this test, you can study here.
  • Match each statement with the correct term.
  • Don't refresh. All questions and answers are randomly picked and ordered every time you load a test.

This is a study tool. The 3 wrong answers for each question are randomly chosen from answers to other questions. So, you might find at times the answers obvious, but you will see it re-enforces your understanding as you take the test each time.
1. Mass x specific heat x temperature change






2. A disturbance that moves through something






3. The first to do experimental studies of the laws of motion and was Imprisoned by Pope Urban VIII in 1633 for advocating the Copernican theory - also know as the heliocentric theory - that the earth was a planet revolving around the sun.

9. Current x voltage energy/time (joules per second)






10. A disturbance that propagates through a medium






11. The total disorder of an object
