Felipe and Marsha were studying forces and decided to do an experiment. While Marsha tore pieces from a sheet of tissue paper, Felipe combed his hair several times with a plastic comb. Then Felipe immediately placed the comb near the pieces of tissue paper. Their set-up is shown. Which of the following statements is most accurate about the experiment?
A non contact force (gravitational) caused the tissue paper to be attracted to the comb.
A non contact force (electrical) causes the tissue to be attracted to the comb.
A contact force (applied force) causes the paper to fall from the comb.
A contact force (drag) caused the paper to fall off of the comb.

Peggy is running around the school track at a constant speed. The track has two straight stretches on the sides and two curved stretches at either end. Which distance versus time graph shows her running at constant speed.
As Carol plays basketball, the ball bounces off the court. After each bounce, the height and energy of the bounce decreases.
The energy has been transformed into the surroundings as another form of energy.
The energy has disappeared due to the force of gravity.
The energy has been completely used up and has vanished.
The energy has multiplied with every bounce and become a force.
Thomas was asked by his dad to move a stone from the backyard. He decided to move it and drop it off the edge of a cliff. Which statement below most accurately describes the transformation of energy that took place while Thomas moved the stone?

Lacretia and Jamie conducted an experiment in class involving hot water, cool water, and an aluminum bar. They poured equal amounts of hot water and cool water into two styrofoam cups. Next, they placed a thermometer into each of the cups. Lastly, they placed an aluminum bar inside of both cups and covered the cups for 5 mins. The experiment setup is shown below. Which statement below is most accurate based on the setup?
The temperature of Cup B will be higher than 20o C after 5 mins.
The temperature of Cup A will be higher than 100o C after 5mins.
The temperature of Cup A and Cup B will be 100o C after 5 mins.
The temperature of Cup A and Cup B will remain the same as the initial temperature after 5 mins.

Why is it important for the scientist to keep accurate notes about the research?
Accurate notes will help other scientists replicate and validate the results.
Accurate notes are required to get the predicted results of the test.
Accurate notes are only necessary for experiments conducted on human subjects.
Accurate notes will help to ensure that no one uses the same experimental methods.
Why is it important to have a control group.
The control serves as a reference for comparison to the experimental group.
The control is the one variable that is changed.
The control is the an independent variable that stays the same.
The control is the dependent variable that determines the outcome of the experiment.
