Which is true about gravitational force? Options: Gravitational force is a contact force, Gravitational force has infinite range, Gravitational force acts only on charged particles, Gravitational force can be repulsive or attractive

Gravitational force has infinite range

Which statement is true about a satellite rotating around Earth? Options: The farther the satellite is from Earth, the faster it is orbiting; The farther the satellite is from Earth, the slower it is orbiting; The satellite’s orbiting speed is only a factor of its launch speed; The satellite’s orbiting speed is the same regardless of its distance from Earth.

The farther the satellite is from Earth, the slower it is orbiting.

Which statement describes Kepler’s third law? Options: The cube of the orbital period is proportional to the cube of the orbit’s semimajor axis, The cube of the orbital period is proportional to the square of the orbit’s semimajor axis, The square of the orbital period is proportional to the cube of the orbit’s semimajor axis, The square of the orbital period is proportional to the square of the orbit’s semimajor axis

The square of the orbital period is proportional to the cube of the orbit’s semimajor axis

A planet has a radius that is twice that of Earth but has four times Earth’s mass. How does the acceleration due to gravity, g, at the surface of the planet compare to that of Earth?

g on the new planet is half of g on Earth

Which statement does the movement of the filings best support? Options: The filings are made of an insulating material, The filings are negatively charged and polarized, Magnetic fields can only be attractive, not repulsive, The magnetic field is strongest near the poles of the magnets

The magnetic field is strongest near the poles of the magnets

What happened to the third paper clip that made the fourth magnet attracted to it?

The third paper clip was already a magnet prior to the effect of the bar magnet

What causes the bend of the stream of water?

Water molecules are polar, so the negatively charged side of the molecules is attracted to the rod.

Which of these is true about the electric field lines of point charges? Electric field lines leave positive charges and enter positive charges, Electric field lines leave negative charges and enter negative charges, Electric field lines leave positive charges and enter negative charges, Electric field lines leave negative charges and enter positive charges

Electric field lines leave positive charges and enter negative charges

The model shows a positively charged particle at Point H in an electric field. Which statement describes what happens if the charge moves from Point H to Point G in the electric field?

Since the positively charged particle is moving against the electric field, work is required to move it from Point H to Point G

Two small cubes have 8 mC charge each. First the cubes are placed 10 cm apart, and then they are moved closer so they are 2 cm apart. Which of these correctly describes how the force between the charges changes?

The force between the charges becomes stronger and more repulsive

Object B is 10 cm from Object A and has a charge of +Q. Object C is 20 cm from Object A and has a charge of +2Q. Which statement is true about the relative strengths of the electric force from Objects B and C on Object A?

The force from Object B is twice as great as the force from Object C.

The model shows three particles interacting electrically. Since the positively charged particle is moving against the electric field, work is required to move it from Point H to Point G.

Since the positively charged particle is moving against the electric field, work is required to move it from Point H to Point G.

Two positive point charges are placed near each other. Charge A has a 12.5 mC charge, and Charge B has an 18.2 mC charge. Which of these is true about the electric field lines between these two charges?

The electric field lines never cross and are denser around point Charge B.

Why can the energy stored in a battery be considered electrical energy? Options: The energy is stored in chemical bonds, The energy gives rise to a potential difference, The energy increases the resistance of the battery, The energy can be stored in the battery indefinitely

The energy increases the resistance of the battery

What happens to a current when the electric field in the wire increases?

The drift velocity increases, and the number of electrons passing through a cross-section of wire increases.
