TNReady Review: Quarter 2

A student is alone in a school gymnasium. They stand near a door that has windows in it and then shouts a few words.

Which statement provides the BEST evidence that the gymnasium reflects both light waves and sound waves?

• The student can see marks on the gymnasium floor and hear their own voice.

• The student can see through the window glass and hear their own voice.

• The student can see their image in the window glass and hear an echo.

• The student can see outside through the glass and hear an echo.

• Wave Y has a shorter wavelength than Wave X

• Wave Y has a greater speed than Wave X

• Wave X has a higher frequency than Wave Y

A student uses a balloon to model the expansion of the universe. Which procedure should the student follow?

• Mark the balloon with dots and measure the change in distances between each dot as the balloon is inflated.

• Mark the balloon with dots and measure the changes in distances of the dots from a single point as the balloon is inflated.

• Mark the balloon with dots, blow up the balloon, and measure the change in distances between each dot as the balloon is deflated.

• Mark the balloon with dots, blow up the balloon, and measure the change in distances of the dots from a single point as the balloon is deflated.

What is a piece of evidence that supports the big bang theory?

• The universe is expanding over time

• The appearance of the universe does not change

• The position of each galaxy seen form Earth remains the same

• The current path of the galaxies will cause them to collide in time

Scientists believe the universe began as a single point and is expanding.

Which TWO pieces of evidence support this?

• Galaxies can be different shapes

• Galaxies are moving away from Earth

• There are impact craters found on Earth's surface

• All of the planets in the solar system revolve around the sun

• Stars located in different galaxies contain the same elements

Which statement BEST explains how the Moon causes tides?

• A full moon causes high tides, a new moon causes low tides, and other phases of the Moon cause tides that rise and fall

• The force of the Moon's gravity pulls ocean water along a beach or harbor up into a high tide for a few hours and then lets it drop to low tide

• The pull of the Moon's gravity causes ocean water to bulge out, and the tidal bulge moves around the world as Earth rotates and the Moon orbits Earth

• When the Moon is over an ocean beach or harbor at night, the tide in that place forms a high tide, and it forms a low tide when the Moon is not visible during the day

Why is an object on Earth's surface not pulled toward the sun?

• because Earth has more gravity than the Sun

• because the Sun has more mass than Earth

• because the object is closer to Earth than the Sun

• because not all objects have gravitational force
