kinetic energy increases and potential energy decreases

both potential energy and kinetic energy increases

kinetic energy decreases and potential energy increases

both potential and kinetic energy decreases

When a plane is falling to the ground, the Law of conservation of energy is applied by _____________________

kinetic energy is converted into potential energy

potential energy is converted into kinetic energy

kinetic energy is created as potential is energy is destroyed

potential energy is created as kinetic energy is destroyed

Joshua is testing how the amount of mass on a paper airplane affects the distance that the plane can fly. Joshua adds paperclips to the plane one at a time and then flies the plane to measure the distance. He records all of his data. Which of the following would be considered the control in Joshua's experiment.

The airplane with no paperclips

The airplane with one paperclip

Someone suggested to Joshua that he should also change the type of paper he uses to build each paper airplane. Why is this not a good idea?

only one variable should be tested at a time

the outcome needs to be controlled

the experiment needs to be replicated first

someone must witness the experiment first

Using Joshua's same experiment, what would be considered the constant?

the paper used in making the plane

So... Joshua is still doing his experiment with the paper airplanes. He is using the same type of paper. He is the only one flying the plane. He is adding a paperclip each time he flies his plane. He is measuring the distance that the plane flies. Which of the following is the dependent variable?

the paper used to make the plane

When Joshua finishes his experiment and analyzes all his data, what should he do next?

form a conclusion that is supported by his data

create his own data to add to his conclusion

ignoring the data that does not support his hypothesis

What is the difference between an scientific law and a societal law?

s statement that is well supported and accepted explanation of how nature works.

a statement that explains what the speed is so scientists know how fast they can drive.

a statement that gives instructions for other scientists to follow when conducting experiments.

a statement that gives instructions for scientists on how to break the laws of science.
