Wave frequency describes ___________.

Number of wave cycles in one second

Time required for one wave cycle

How could you produce a wave with a HIGH frequency using a slinky?

increase the energy by moving your hand quickly

increase the energy by moving your hand slowly

decrease the energy by moving your hand quickly

decrease the energy by moving your hand slowly

Which statement best describes how sound waves move through air and water?

Sound waves move faster in water than in air because water molecules are closer together, allowing the compression and expansion of particles to happen more quickly.

Sound waves move faster in air than in water because air is less dense, making it easier for particles to move back and forth.

Sound waves move at the same speed in air and water because both allow particles to be compressed and expanded in a similar way.

Sound waves cannot travel through water because they need air particles to push against in order to move.

Which statement best describes how light waves move through air and water?

Light waves move faster in air than in water because they do not need particles to vibrate, and water slows them down due to its higher density.

Light waves move faster in water than in air because water molecules are closer together, allowing energy to transfer more efficiently.

Light waves move at the same speed in air and water because they do not rely on particles compressing and expanding to travel.

Light waves cannot travel through air or water because they require a solid medium to move.

Why are gamma rays the most harmful type of electromagnetic wave for living things?

They have the highest frequency, and therefore the highest energy.

They have the lowest frequency, and therefore the highest energy.

They have the largest wavelength, and therefore the lowest energy.

They have the largest wavelength, and therefore the highest energy.

Which statement best explains the image below

The different colors represent reflection of different wavelengths of light

The different colors represent electromagnetic and mechanical waves

The different colors represent longitudinal and transverse waves

The different colors represent the crests and troughs on a transverse wave

Energy is ________________________.

the capacity to do work or the ability to cause change

anything that has mass and takes up space

the flow of protons that provides electricity

When the person on the sled is at the top of the hill, which of the following statements is true?

Half of the energy is potential and half of the energy is kinetic

When the person on the sled is at the base of the hill, which of the following statements is true?

Half of the energy is potential and half of the energy is kinetic

When the person on the sled is halfway down the hill, which of the following statements is true?

Half of the energy is potential and half of the energy is kinetic

What does g stand for when calculating energy?

It refers to the acceleration due to gravity

It refers to the measurement grams

It refers to the growth of energy

It refers to the measurement of joules

Which of the following statements about the image below is true?

The total energy does not change because the energy is being converted between potential and kinetic

The total energy changes because the potential and kinetic energy are changing

The total energy does not change because the potential and kinetic energy are increasing

The total energy changes because the kinetic and potential energy are decreasing

If this were a real roller coaster with NO extra energy input after point A, the roller coaster would not be able to make it beyond point F. Why not?

Some energy is lost as heat due to friction.

Potential energy would begin to decrease after point H.

The mass of the roller coaster has grown too large.

Some of the energy has been destroyed due to friction.
