Felipe and Marsha were studying forces and decided to do an experiment. While Marsha tore pieces from a sheet of tissue paper, Felipe combed his hair several times with a plastic comb. Then Felipe immediately placed the comb near the pieces of tissue paper. Their set-up is shown. Which of the following statements is most accurate about the experiment?

• A non contact force (gravitational) caused the tissue paper to be attracted to the comb.

• A non contact force (electrical) causes the tissue to be attracted to the comb.

• A contact force (applied force) causes the paper to fall from the comb.

• A contact force (drag) caused the paper to fall off of the comb.

• home to school

• store to post office

• post office to home

A tuning fork was hit with a mallet. The diagram below shows the sound waves that the tuning fork produced. Which statement about the sound waves is most accurate?

• The sound waves would travel fastest in a solid.

• The sound waves would travel fastest in a gas.

• The sound waves would travel fastest in a vacuum (no air present).

• The sound waves would travel fastest in a liquid.

As Carol plays basketball, the ball bounces off the court. After each bounce, the height and energy of the bounce decreases.

• The energy has been transformed into the surroundings as another form of energy.

• The energy has disappeared due to the force of gravity.

• The energy has been completely used up and has vanished.

• The energy has multiplied with every bounce and become a force.

Thomas was asked by his dad to move a stone from the backyard. He decided to move it and drop it off the edge of a cliff. Which statement below most accurately describes the transformation of energy that took place while Thomas moved the stone?

• The stone had potential energy at C that was transformed to kinetic energy at D.

• The stone had potential energy at A that was transformed to mechanical energy at B.

• The stone had kinetic energy at A that transformed into chemical energy at C.

• The stone had kinetic energy at C that transformed into potential energy at D.
