Students are investigating two steel spheres with the same diameter. One sphere is solid and the other is hollow. The students hypothesize that the solid sphere is less likely to dent during a collision than the hollow sphere. Both spheres must experience the exact same amount of force during the collision so that the investigation is valid. Which investigation makes both spheres experience the exact same amount of force during a collision?

The spheres are rolled toward each other and collide with each other.

The spheres are dropped to the floor by the same person.

The spheres are thrown against a wall by the same person.

The spheres are rolled toward the same wall and collide with the wall.

During an investigation, a teacher places a small permanent magnet with a hole in it onto a wooden rod. The magnet can slide freely up and down the rod. When the teacher places the magnet and rod on a tabletop above an electromagnet, the magnet slides up the rod as shown in the diagram. A student measures how far the magnet slides up the rod each time the teacher adds an additional battery to the electromagnet. Which question could most likely be answered by this investigation?

How does the amount of the electric current affect the distance the magnet travels up the rod?

How does the size of the magnet affect the distance the magnet travels up the rod?

How does the distance between the magnet and the electromagnet affect the strength of the magnetic force of the electromagnet?

How does the direction of the electric current affect the strength of the magnetic force of the electromagnet?

A student created an electromagnet out of a piece of copper wire, a nail, and a battery, as shown. The student observed that the electromagnet could not lift paper clips off a desktop as expected. Which hypothesis will most likely help the student build an electromagnet capable of lifting paper clips?

Adding more coils of copper wire to the nail will increase the number of paper clips that the electromagnet can pick up.

Using a wooden stick instead of a nail will increase the number of paper clips that the electromagnet can pick up.

Pushing the coils of copper wire closer together will increase the number of paper clips that the electromagnet can pick up.

Using a battery that produces less electric current will increase the number of paper clips that the electromagnet can pick up.

Andy makes a claim that the force due to gravity depends on the masses of interacting objects. He does an investigation to test his claim, following this procedure: 1. Hang a coil spring from the edge of a desk so that the spring hangs freely. 2. Measure the length of the spring using a meterstick. 3. Attach a steel washer to the coil spring. 4. Measure the length of the spring using the meterstick. 5. Repeat steps 3–4, using additional steel washers. A diagram of the setup for the investigation is shown. The collected data is given in the table. Which statement best explains why Andy’s claim is supported by the data?

The length of the spring increased each time a steel washer was added to the spring.

The length of the spring decreased each time a steel washer was added to the spring.

The force due to gravity depended on the distance between the steel washers and Earth.

The force due to gravity by Earth on the steel washer was greater than the force due to gravity by the steel washer on Earth.

A meteorologist made these observations on one day:
• In the morning, an ocean wave hit a shoreline every 15 seconds.
• In the afternoon, an ocean wave hit the shoreline every 30 seconds.
Identify how many times more or less energy was transferred in the morning compared to the afternoon. Explain your reasoning.

The morning and afternoon ocean waves carried the same energy, because the frequency of the ocean waves was two times greater in the morning and in the afternoon. The amount of energy in a wave is proportional to its frequency.

The morning ocean waves carried two times more energy than the afternoon ocean waves did, because the frequency of the ocean waves was two times greater in the morning than in the afternoon. The amount of energy in a wave is proportional to its frequency.

The afternoon ocean waves carried two times more energy than the morning ocean waves did, because the frequency of the ocean waves was two times greater in the afternoon than in the morning. The amount of energy in a wave is proportional to its frequency.

According to the Wall Street Journal, Americans use 100 billion plastic shopping bags annually. The chemicals that make up most of these bags come from petroleum. Many people argue that because the petroleum used to make plastic shopping bags is a nonrenewable resource, it is better to use reusable cotton cloth bags for shopping. Other people argue that using plastic shopping bags is better for the environment.
Which claim would best support the position of the supporters of using plastic shopping bags

A single plastic shopping bag needs 10 to 100 years to break down in a landfill.

Plastic shopping bags provide an inexpensive and convenient source of packaging for stores.

The manufacture of cloth shopping bags provides jobs and helps the economies of several different countries.

Producing a reusable cloth shopping bag requires 173 times as much energy as producing a plastic shopping bag.
