The picture shows how a light ray behaves with two different types of materials.

Which table best describes the behavior of the light ray as it encounters the materials?

• Material 1: The light ray is scattered in all directions.

  Material 2: The light ray is refracted.

• Material 1: The light ray is absorbed.

  Material 2: The light ray is reflected.

• Material 1: The light ray is transmitted.

  Material 2: The light ray is refracted.

• Material 1:

  The light ray is refracted.

  Material 2: The light ray is reflected.

A student conducts the investigation shown in the diagram. In this experiment a paper cup hangs from a string tied to a single uncooked spaghetti noodle. The student measures and records the mass of a penny. The student then adds pennies to the paper cup one at a time.

Which question is the student most likely trying to answer with this investigation?

• How many spaghetti noodles will it take to hold up the mass of a penny?

• How much force will it take to break the spaghetti noodle?

• How long should the string that holds the paper cup be in order to support the greatest mass of pennies?

• How does the distance between the two chairs affect the amount of force it takes for the spaghetti noodle to break?

Part 1

This question has two parts. First, answer Part 1. Then, answer Part 2.

Two students are investigating force. In this experiment, the students place cardboard ramps on stacks of books with different heights. The students measure how far that cars with the same mass will travel when released from the top of the ramp. The set up the students use is shown below.

Which question are the two students best trying to answer with this experiment?

• How do different surfaces affect the amount of force needed to move a car?

• How do books affect the travel of a car?

• Will the height of the ramp affect how far the car will travel?

• How does mass affect the car as it travels down the ramp?

Part 2

Two students are investigating force. In this experiment, the students place cardboard ramps on stacks of books with different heights. The students measure how far that cars with the same mass will travel when released from the top of the ramp. The set up the students use is shown.

Why is the distance the car travels different in each trial?

• The height of the ramp changes.

• The mass of the car changes.

• The material of the ramp changes.

• The size of the car changes.
