The picture shows an athlete hitting a ball with a tennis racquet. What is the athlete demonstrating in the picture?
Doing work by pushing the ball and changing its motion and position
Changing the position but not the motion of the ball

Group 1 is performing an investigation to measure how much liquid water is produced from a 10L sample of snow. What must occur in order for the students to perform this investigation?
The physical state of the sample must remain the same.
The temperature of the sample must change.
The sample must be kept in a freezer.
The investigation must be performed outside.
Madison went on a field trip and observed a valley. She recorded 3 major characteristics of the valley: *Round bottom floor *Nearly vertical sides *Small hills containing sediments of many sizes
Madison determined this valley was most likely formed by __
volcanic activity
a rapid series of earthquakes
the movement of a glacier
a flood with rapidly moving water
Students design an experiment to determine how much force is needed to move bricks with different masses slowly across a platform. Which procedure should student include in their design?
conduct 5 trials, using a different spring scale to pull each brick
conduct 5 trials, pulling each brick in the same way for each trial
conduct 5 trials, using a different platform for each trial
conduct 5 trials, pulling a different side of brick each time
A beaker with 115 mL of solution has a temperature of 21o C. The solution contains 5g of salt and 115 mL of water. Alex added two ice cubes to the solution and stirred the solution with a stirring rod. Which properties of the solution changed as the ice cubes melted?
the color and physical state of the solution
the volume, temperature, and mass of the salt in the solution
the physical state and temperature of the solution
the temperature, mass, and volume of the solution
Our teacher has an aquarium in which fish and aquatic plants are growing. How is carbon dioxide directly involved in the survival of organisms in the aquarium?
The plants release carbon dioxide into the water to control the water temperature.
The plants need carbon dioxide to make sugar.
Both the plants and the fish need carbon dioxide to make their own nutrients.
The fish must absorb carbon dioxide through their gills for energy.
Aquatic plants have adaptations that help them live in water. For example, the structures needed for making food are located on the tops of floating plant leaves. This adaptation helps the plants __
avoid predators
stay anchored
absorb sunlight
capture fish
Claire has salt, gravel, shampoo, and sugar. She stirs 15 g of each into 200 mL of water to create four different mixtures. She then tries to separate the water from each mixture by pouring the mixture through a tea strainer. Which mixture can Claire separate most easily with the strainer?
salt and water
sugar and water
gravel and water
shampoo and water
Which statement should Mia use to best describe the processes of weathering and erosion?
Weathering and erosion are directly responsible for depositing loose sediments on the bottom of the ocean, forming layers of sediment.
Weathering and erosion are directly responsible for the breakdown of any type of rock into smaller particles and the carrying away of the loose sediments.
Weathering and erosion are directly responsible for the transportation, deposition, and compaction of loose sediments on the seafloor.
Weathering and erosion are directly responsible for the amount of water in a river that transports sediments to the sea.
