Sarah enjoys walking to the beach and photographing the sunset. When she downloads the images to her computer, she saves two different versions. She keeps one version with the full amount of pixels, so that she can use the images for any project in the future. In the second version, she reduces the number of pixels by half. What would be a benefit of reducing the number of pixels?

better for creating large posters

Increasing C will increase the energy.

The diagram shown is an unlabeled transverse wave. Which of the following statements is TRUE?

D is the amplitude of the wave.

B is the compression of the wave.

C is the frequency of the wave.

Which of the following is TRUE about the different types of wave?

Mechanical waves can be either longitudinal or transverse.

Sound waves are both electromagnetic and longitudinal.

Electromagnetic waves require a medium and cannot travel through space.

Longitudinal waves vibrate matter at right angles.

A student is using a metal coil to model the properties of different types of waves. Based on the image below, which of the following is most likely FALSE?

The student is investigating how to determine the frequency of a transverse wave.

The student is modeling longitudinal waves.

The metal spring vibrates parallel to the direction of energy movement.

The student is modeling how sound waves travel.

Which of the following describes an advantage of parallel circuits?

If one device goes out, the others are unaffected.

Each device shares the voltage.

Adding devices reduces the current.

More voltage is needed to reach an appropriate current.

Which of the following would result in a circuit with 1.2 amps of current?

a 3-V battery and a 2.5-Ω resistor

a 6-V battery and a 10-Ω resistor

a 1.5-V battery and a 5-Ω resistor

a 4.5-V battery and a 7.5-Ω resistor

Which of the following is TRUE about the circuit shown?

Adding another battery would increase the brightness of each light bulb.

The circuit is an open circuit.

If one light bulb goes out, the others will be unaffected.

The circuit is a parallel circuit.

A musician records and mixes his own music. His process includes playing each instrument individually while recording the music on his computer. He then uses special software to combine the individual recordings. Lastly, he records his voice as he sings the accompanying lyrics, adding this to the instrumental background. He uploads the final product to a cloud that he shares with his family and friends. What is happening to the signals during this process?

Analog signals are being converted to digital signals so that they can be combined, altered, and shared.

The signals remain analog throughout the entire process. Both the music and computer work can be done with analog.

The signals remain digital throughout the entire process. Both the music and computer work can be done with digital.

Digital signals are being converted to analog signals so that they can be combined, altered, and shared.

A sound engineer was working on cleaning up the noise from an analog signal and from a digital signal. Which signal would she have a harder time erasing the noise from?

analog, because it is a continuous signal with infinite values, and the noise is blended in

digital, because it is a continuous signal with infinite values, and noise is blended in

analog, because it is a discrete signal made up of ones and zeroes, and noise is blended in

digital, because it is a discrete signal made up of ones and zeroes, and noise is blended in
