The fishing manager looks for information on the boats. Most of the fishing teams use the same kind of boat called the Pontus. The fishing business manager looks at the boat’s guide book and sees the following information. What should the fishing business manager do based on today’s report?

• Allow all Pontus boats to leave the harbor.

• Prevent all Pontus boats from leaving the harbor.

• Find a different boat that navigates smaller waves.

• Wait until the waves reach an amplitude of 4 feet to leave the harbor.

A mother dog is communicating with her puppies by making growling noises. Once the growling noise leaves the mother dog, what happens next?

• As the sound moves through the air, particles in the air collide with one another.

• As the sound moves through the air, particles in the air move back toward the mother dog.

• As sound moves through the air, particles in the air move a lot at first.

• As sound moves through the air, particles in the air line up and move toward the puppies.

Why should the engineer test her model?

• to make sure that the model is better than all other models

• to make sure that it meets the criteria and to identify any failure points

• to define the problem the engineer needs to address

• to determine the goals of the project

Elijah is studying the behavior of waves in his physics class. He noticed something when a transverse wave interacts with a piece of wood. What did Elijah observe?

• The wave turned into an electromagnetic wave.

• The frequency of the wave changed.

• Vibrations occurred in the wood.

• The wavelength of the wave changed.

Anika, Isla, and Sophia are studying the electromagnetic spectrum in their science class. They are discussing how it relates to light. What is the correct statement?

• All the waves on the electromagnetic spectrum look the same to the human eye.

• The waves on the electromagnetic spectrum all have the same wavelength.

• Our eyes are able to see a few of the waves on the electromagnetic spectrum and see different colors.

• Our eyes cannot see any waves on the electromagnetic spectrum.

Jackson, Benjamin, and Nora are studying waves in their physics class. They are looking at images of a longitudinal wave and a transverse wave. Which of the following is true about these images?

• Neither wave has a wavelength.

• Neither wave uses energy to move.

• Both waves have wavelengths.

• Both waves are soundwaves.
