What must happen to an object in order to accelerate it?

Its frictional coefficient must be reduced.

Which is true about the relationship between an object's mass and its weight?

Weight is gravity's force on the object, which is determined by its mass.

The object's mass is caused by the weight of the object pushing downward.

An object's weight and its mass are the same, but they are measured differently.

An object's weight and its mass are independent of each other.

Jeff was riding in a car. Which change demonstrates the GREATEST effect of inertia?

The car changes into another lane.

This graph shows the velocity of a car. Which statement BEST explains how the car is moving?

Velocity is increasing, so the car is accelerating

Velocity is decreasing, so the car is accelerating

Velocity is increasing, so the car is not accelerating

Velocity is decreasing, so the car is not accelerating

When a rock is dropped into a large puddle, the energy of the waves is greatest at the center of the puddle. Which statement is correct?

the energy of the waves is greatest at the center of the puddle

the energy of the waves is greatest at the edge of the puddle

the energy of the waves is greatest between the center and edge of the puddle

the energy of the waves doesn't change as they move away from the center of the puddle.

The leaves on a tree appear to be green because the molecules of the leaves

reflect the light back unchanged.

Electromagnetic waves and mechanical waves are alike and different. What is one way in which these waves are similar?

Both types of waves have a frequency.

Both types of waves require a medium.

Both types of waves transmit matter.

Both types of waves have a pitch.

The speed of a sound wave depends MOSTLY on...

the medium through which the wave travels.

the angle at which it approaches the listener.

After the train passed, the pitch of the train whistle became lower. This change in sound would be represented by what change in the diagram?

The distance represented by "C" would increase.

The distance represented by "A" would increase.

The distance represented by "A" would decrease.

The distance represented by "C" would decrease.

Imagine a ringing bell set inside a sealed glass jar. Once all the air is removed and a vacuum is created, the ringing sound is no longer heard. Explain why this happens.

without air, the sound waves cannot travel to the ear

The glass prevents any sound from escaping

The lack of air in the jar causes the ringing to stop

the pressure of the outsider air causes the sound to remain within the jar

Which of these is one way that mechanical waves differ from electromagnetic waves?

Mechanical waves require a medium and electromagnetic waves do not.

Mechanical waves require energy and electromagnetic waves do not.

Electromagnetic waves require a medium and mechanical waves do not.

Mechanical waves transmit matter and electromagnetic waves transmit energy.

As an astronaut travels from Earth to a space station orbiting Earth, what happens to her mass and weight?

C) Her mass remains the same, but her weight decreases.

A) Her mass decreases, but her weight remains the same.

B) Her mass increases as her weight decreases.

D) Her mass decreases and her weight also decreases.

Which is true about friction and gravity?

B) Both cause things to speed up.

Which is a result of the effect of gravity?

C) Released objects always fall toward Earth's surface.

A) Rocket engines can force objects into space.

B) Air friction causes falling objects to slow down.

D) Airplanes are able to fly without falling to the ground.

How can the materials in the diagram be used to make a magnet?

D) touch the ends of the wire to the ends of the battery.

A) Replace the iron nail with a wood rod.

B) add more loops of wire to the iron nail.

C) Connect the ends of the wire to each other.

If you were to travel to the moon, your weight would be about one-sixth less than it is on earth. This is because the moon...

B) is much less massive than earth.

A) has a much smaller circumference than earth.

C) rotates much slower than earth.

D) has no water on its surface.
