The Sun appears to have a pattern of moving across the sky because .

as the Earth rotates, it causes the Sun to appear to move

gravity causes the Sun to move down in the sky

both the Sun and Earth are turning quickly

C. The sun is larger but farther away.

A. The sun is larger but closer.

B. The moon is larger but closer.

D. The moon is dimmer but farther away.

Which statement is the best evidence to support your answer in Part A?

The sun is much larger and farther away than the moon.

The sun is much larger and closer than the moon.

The sun is much smaller and farther away than the moon.

The sun is much dimmer and farther away than the moon.

A student observes what happens when he releasees a wadded-up piece of paper, a baseball, and a rock from one meter above the ground all at the same time. All three objects move in the same direction. Which claim can be made based on the student's observations?

The gravitational force of Earth causes the objects to fall down toward Earth.

The volume of the objects causes the objects to fall down toward Earth.

The rotation of Earth causes the objects to fall down toward Earth.

The density of the objects causes the objects to fall down toward Earth.

Which piece of evidence best supports the answer to Part A?

The paper, the baseball, and the rock fell when the student let go of them.

The rock made the loudest noise when it hit the ground.

The baseball and the rock hit the ground just before the paper did.

The paper and the baseball bounced several times after they hit the ground.

Which of the following demonstrations would provide evidence to support Jorge's claim that the gravitational force of Earth always pulls objects toward the center of the Earth?

Dropping a ball and observing it fall straight down to the ground

Rolling a ball on a flat surface and watching it stop

Floating a ball in water and seeing it stay at the surface

Throwing a ball horizontally and watching it move in a straight line

A science class is studying gravity. The students must come up with a way to demonstrate evidence of gravity. Which activity can the students do to support their argument that gravity exists?

dropping objects from many different heights and recording the time it takes them to fall

weighing many different objects at different places on Earth to show the effects of gravity

throwing a variety of objects into the air at many different angles and sketching how they fall

dropping objects in many locations while standing on level ground and sketching how they fall

Mikayla plays basketball at the park by her house. She practices dribbling and shooting the ball. Which of these sentences explains the effect of gravity on the basketball?

B. Gravity pulls the basketball down to the ground after it goes through the hoop.

A. Gravity helps the basketball arc upwards toward the hoop when Mikayla shoots it.

C. Gravity makes the ball bounce off the rim of the hoop when Mikayla misses her shot.

D. There is no force of gravity on the basketball.

Use the information about landslides and your knowledge of science to answer the questions. Landslides Big Sur, California, is located right next to the Pacific Ocean. The area of Big Sur has many steep cliffs and slopes. Landslides take place when rocks and soil move downward. Roads can be covered with rock, and parts of a road can fall into the ocean. A student claims that landslides are caused by the downward force of gravity. Which statements provide evidence to support the student’s claim?

B. Falling rocks can cover a road.

E. Parts of a road may fall into the ocean.

A. Big Sur has very steep cliffs.

C. Rocks and soil can block traffic.

D. Rock layers push against each other.

The diagram shows a loose rock on the edge of a stable slope. A hiker kicks the loose rock and observes that, two minutes later, the rock has rolled to the bottom of the slope. Which statement best explains the hiker’s observations?

Gravity pulled the rock straight down the entire time, which caused the rock to move downward.

Gravity pulled the rock downward only when the rock bounced over objects on the slope.

Gravity pulled the rock at an angle along the ground some of the time to cause the rock to move on the slope.

Gravity pulled the rock in different directions at certain times, which caused the rock to move downward without getting stuck in the grass.
