Unit 1 Matter Assessment Practice

Sophia is thirsty after playing outside. She looks for something to drink. Which of the following is an example of a liquid?

• A chair you sit on

• Water you drink

• Air you breathe

• All of the above

Which of the following states of matter is water in when it's in the form of steam or vapor?

• Solid
• Liquid
• Gas
• All of the above

In which of the following three states of matter are the particles moving the fastest?

• Solid
• Liquid
• Gas
• None of the above

In which of the following three states of matter are the particles the closest together?

• Solid
• Liquid
• Gas

What does it mean that energy cannot be created or destroyed?

• Potential energy cannot be transformed into kinetic energy
• Energy can only be transformed
• Kinetic energy cannot be transformed into kinetic energy
• Kinetic energy cannot be transformed into potential energy

What is potential energy?

• The energy of an object due to its motion
• The energy of an object due to its position
• The energy of an object due to its volume
• The energy of an object due to its speed

The amount of kinetic energy an object has depends on its:

• Mass and volume
• Volume and speed
• Speed and position
• Mass and speed

What are the two main forms of energy?

• Potential energy and electricity
• Potential energy and wind energy
• Kinetic energy and electricity
• Kinetic energy and potential energy

Which of the following objects has kinetic energy?

• A bowling ball on the shelf
• A bowling ball on the ground
• A car driving down the street
• A car parked on the street

Kinetic energy is energy an object has because of its

• Composition
• Density
• Position
• Motion
