Define solubility.
An object's ability to block the flow of electricity.
An object's ability to separate wavelengths of light.
An object's ability to conduct heat energy.
An object's ability to dissolve in a liquid.
Kyle went on vacation and found a shard of obsidian on the beach. Obsidian is a glossy, black, igneous rock. Which of the following represents a rock that obsidian could have formed from?
Quartzite, a metamorphic rock.
Limestone, a sedimentary rock.
Dacite, an igneous rock.
Shale, a sedimentary rock.
Johnny created a circuit with a battery and some wires. He connects a heater to the circuit but is surprised when it can't turn on. None of the components are damaged and all of them are appropriate. Which of the following could explain Johnny's problem? Select all correct answers.
Johnny connected the wires incorrectly.
The circuit may have a gap in it.
The battery may be too weak.
The heater may be damaged.
Andy mixes some engine oil with water in a bucket. He is confused when he sees that oil wont dissolve no matter how hard he mixes. Which of the following explains what Andy is seeing?
Oils are insoluble in water.
Heat travels from hot regions to cold regions.
Light will refract when traveling through a prism.
Insulators insulate the flow of electricity.
What natural process is capable of creating the Grand Canyon?
Weathering and Erosion
Electricity and Magnetism
Light and Heat
Conduction and Convection
Tim has a lot of extra flakes of iron leftover from a science project about magnetism. He wants to use the metal for a different purpose so he mixes it with clay and sand. He is surprised when the mixture is still magnetic. Why is this?
Magnetism is a physical property that is maintained even when the object is mixed.
The clay he used was cheap and poorly made.
He did not add enough clay.
Magnetism is a chemical property that is maintained even when the object is mixed.
Evaporation turns (a) into gases.
Every morning, Abigail uses her mirror to brush her hair. Which of the following describes the physics of the mirror?
Mirrors are transparent objects. Light from Abigail goes through the mirror.
Mirrors are opaque objects. Light from Abigail becomes completely absorbed after it hits the mirror.
Mirrors are objects capable of refraction. Light from Abigail refracts off the mirror and into her eyes.
Mirrors are objects capable of reflection. Light from Abigail hits the mirror and reflect into her eyes.
Which of the following is capable of transforming the identity of a material?
A chemical reaction.
The creation of a mixture.
Tim watched a science fiction movie last night. The main villain of the movie has laser vision. At the climax, the hero uses his own powers to bend the lasers back towards the villain. Why was this not realistic?
Laser vision is impossible.
Lasers travel at the speed of light so it would be impossible for the hero to react fast enough.
Light travels in a straight line.
All answer choices are correct.
Abigail wants to prove that the mixture of liquid A with liquid B is actually a chemical reaction and not just a mixture. Which of the following tools would be best at proving this? Select all correct answers.
A balance. A chemical reaction may cause some of the combined liquid to turn into a new gas and we can measure this by a change in mass.
A microscope. A chemical reaction may cause some of the liquid to change shape and we can see the changing particles.
A measuring stick. A chemical reaction may cause the volume of liquid to decrease and we can measure the change in water level.
A thermometer. A chemical reaction may generate heat that we can measure.
Define Force.
Anything that causes a change in energy, such as a push or pull.
Trying too hard.
Being too rough.
The act of being strong.
Which of the following are types of potential energy? Select all correct answers.
Chemical energy
Gravitational energy
Kinetic energy
Thermal energy
Thomas believes that heavier objects will have more kinetic energy than lighter objects after dropped from the same height at the same time. What tools can Thomas use to prove this?
A balance/spring scale. An object with greater kinetic energy will cause a greater displacement.
A ruler and stopwatch. Heavier objects fall faster than lighter objects.
