2.

While Lily was fishing, she observed that the ocean waves affected the boat’s motion. Which is the

best description of Lily’s observations?

a)

Lily could not feel the boat moving at all.

b)

Lily could feel the boat going up and down.

c)

Lily saw that the boat was moving closer to the shore.

d)

Lily saw that the boat was moving closer to the shore while it moved up and down.

3.

Lily observed that on windy days the waves were bigger than the waves on calm days. What is the best explanation of why waves are bigger on a windy day?

a)

The waves on a windy day have longer wavelengths because they have more energy.

b)

The waves on a windy day have shorter wavelengths because they have less energy.

c)

The waves on a windy day have greater amplitude because they have more energy.

d)

The waves on a windy day have smaller amplitude because they have more energy.

4.

Which statement explains how computers send voice signals?

a)

Sounds are converted to digitized codes of 0s and 1s by a cell tower.

b)

Sounds are converted to digitized codes of 0s and 1s by the computer.

c)

Sounds are converted to digitized codes of dots and dashes by a cell tower.

d)

Sounds are converted to digitized codes of dots and dashes by the computer.

5.

Compare a computer and a radio walkie-talkie for transmitting information over a distance.

a)

A walkie-talkie can send a clearer signal over a longer distance than a computer.

b)

A computer can send a clearer signal over a longer distance than a walkie-talkie.

c)

A walkie-talkie cannot send a voice message, but a computer can send a voice message.

d)

A computer cannot send a voice message, but a walkie-talkie can send a voice message.

6.

How is Morse Code and Binary Code similar?

a)

They both use 1s and 0s to transmit information

b)

They both use dots and dashes to transmit information

c)

They both use a 2 symbol system to transmit information

d)

They both need a human to decode their information.

7.

How are Morse Code and digital signals different?

a)

Morse Code uses only light. Digital code uses only sounds

b)

Morse code is used in cell phones and computers. Digital codes use telegraphs and light.

c)

Morse code is sent by telegraph, sound, and light. Cell phones and computers use digital signals

12.

How do the wave characteristics represented by labels C and D compare?

a)

C represents the amplitude, or the distance from one crest to the next. D represents wavelength, or the distance between the highest point and the middle point of a wave.

false

23.

A duck is floating on the water of a pond. Waves are moving across the pond. Will the waves push

the duck across the pond? Explain why or why not.

a)

yes, because waves transfer matter not energy

b)

no, because waves transfer energy not matter.
