Explain how the spectrum of white light can be separated into different colors. Discuss the significance of this phenomenon.

• White light can be separated into different colors using a mirror, which reflects the light.

• White light can be separated into different colors using a prism, which refracts the light.

• White light can be separated into different colors using a lens, which absorbs the light.

• White light can be separated into different colors using a filter, which blocks the light.

Discuss the factors that influence the strength of electrical forces acting at a distance. Provide examples of how these forces are observed.

• Electrical forces are stronger when objects are closer together and have more charge.

• Electrical forces are stronger when objects are farther apart and have less charge.

• Electrical forces are stronger when objects are closer together and have less charge.

• Electrical forces are stronger when objects are farther apart and have more charge.

Propose a scenario where an unbalanced force acts on an object, changing its speed or direction. Explain the outcome.

• A car moving at a constant speed on a straight road experiences an unbalanced force.

• A ball rolling down a hill experiences an unbalanced force, causing it to accelerate.

• A book resting on a table experiences an unbalanced force, causing it to move.

• A pendulum at rest experiences an unbalanced force, causing it to swing.

Design a simple experiment to demonstrate the reflection of light. Describe the materials and expected observations.

• Use a glass of water to show reflection, expecting light to pass through without change.

• Use a mirror to show reflection, expecting light to bounce off the surface.

• Use a black cloth to show reflection, expecting light to be absorbed.

• Use a prism to show reflection, expecting light to split into colors.

Evaluate the role of friction as a contact force in everyday situations. Provide examples and discuss its effects on motion.

• Friction always increases the speed of moving objects, such as a car on a road.

• Friction always decreases the speed of moving objects, such as a car on a road.

• Friction can either increase or decrease the speed of moving objects, depending on the situation.

• Friction has no effect on the speed of moving objects.

Discuss how the absorption of light by different materials affects their temperature. Provide examples and explain the underlying principles.

• Materials that absorb more light tend to have lower temperatures.

• Materials that absorb more light tend to have higher temperatures.

• Materials that absorb more light have no change in temperature.

• Materials that absorb more light tend to have fluctuating temperatures.

Explain how the sun's energy, arriving as radiation, can be broken down into different types of wavelengths. Provide examples of these wavelengths and discuss their significance.

• The sun's energy arrives only as visible light, which is the only type of radiation.

• The sun's energy arrives as radiation with a wide range of wavelengths, including infrared, visible, and ultraviolet, each having different effects on Earth.

• The sun's energy arrives as sound waves, which are converted into light waves.

• The sun's energy arrives as radiation, but it only includes ultraviolet wavelengths.

Design an experiment to demonstrate how light can be reflected, refracted, and absorbed. Describe the materials you would use and the expected outcomes.

• Use a mirror to show reflection, a glass of water to show refraction, and a black cloth to show absorption. Expect light to bounce off the mirror, bend in the water, and be absorbed by the cloth.

• Use a prism to show reflection, a mirror to show refraction, and a white cloth to show absorption. Expect light to split in the prism, bounce off the mirror, and be absorbed by the cloth.

• Use a lens to show reflection, a black cloth to show refraction, and a mirror to show absorption. Expect light to bend in the lens, be absorbed by the cloth, and bounce off the mirror.

• Use a glass of water to show reflection, a mirror to show refraction, and a prism to show absorption. Expect light to bend in the water, bounce off the mirror, and split in the prism.

• Nuclear Potential

• Chemical Potential

Explain how the concept of unbalanced forces is applied in designing vehicles for safety. Discuss the role of these forces in vehicle dynamics.

• Unbalanced forces are used to increase the speed of vehicles, making them less safe.

• Unbalanced forces are minimized to maintain vehicle stability and safety during motion.

• Unbalanced forces are ignored in vehicle design, as they have no impact on safety.

• Unbalanced forces are used to decrease the speed of vehicles, making them more safe.
