Physics is all around us. We are surrounded by its expression - the light of the sun, the wind in our backs and everything we do or think follows the laws of physics. How many of these basic rules of existence do you know? Take our test!
If my weight is 300 pounds and I walk on the moon, what will be my weight there?
The moon's gravity is 1/6 of Earth's hence our weight would be 1/6 of our weight on Earth. However our mass remains the same.
Zero
300 pounds
50 pounds
150 pounds

True or False: Water will boil faster in a mountainous area than at a sea level area
At sea level water boils at 100 degrees Celsius or 212 degrees Fahrenheit. As the height increases, the boiling point of water decreases due to the decrease in atmospheric pressure. So water will boil faster in mountainous areas.
True
False
