Most cars have lights, power locks, radios, and other equipment that use electricity. Electric circuits power this equipment. Each circuit has a fuse that completes it. Which of these describes one thing that could happen if the wire in a car fuse burns out?

The car’s radio will not work.

The car’s lights will burn brighter.

The car’s turn signal will blink too slowly.

The car’s power windows will open faster.

If bulb 1 burns out, what will occur?

bulbs 2 and 3 receive more volts

This instrument can be used to see if materials conduct electricity. Which of these groups contains items that could all conduct electricity to complete the circuit?

rubber ball, plastic comb, nail

A student placed a pencil in a cup of water. The pencil appears broken because light-

bends when it passes through water

always travels in a straight line

makes the water in the glass evaporate

reflects the pencil on the water's surface

Which of the following materials would reflect the most light?

a piece of red construction paper

Why does the lower part of the child appear so much different in size from the upper part?

The light rays that travel through water and then into air are refracted.

The light rays that travel through water and then into air are enlarged.

The light rays that travel through air and then into water are reflected.

The light rays that travel through air and then into water are reduced.

If the forces are the same in Scenario A and Scenario C, which ball would move the fastest?

both balls would move at the same speed

there is no way to determine which ball would move the fastest

When conducting an experiment, in order to get reliable results, it is important to:

Repeat the investigation several times

Disregard results that do not match your hypothesis

Test many different variables at the same time

Test all forces at the same time

Students wrap a copper wire around an iron nail and connect the ends of the wire to the battery. The nail attracts other small nails and paper clips as they stick together. What force is being observed?

The students are observing the force of magnetism.

The students are observing the force of gravity.

The students are observing the force of friction.

The students are observing the force of electricity.

What is true about the image of the children on the swings?

Student 1 is working because the swing is moving

Both students are working even though only one is moving

Earth's gravity is preventing Student 2 from moving

Which of these is NOT an example of a bicycle using mechanical energy?
