Pierre wants to build a model of a ramp that would be safe for students who use wheelchairs. He knows that to be safe, a wheelchair ramp should not drop more than 10 centimeters for every 120 centimeters of ramp length. Pierre has the following materials:
• a ball that will roll the way a wheelchair rolls
• a stopwatch to time the ball as it rolls
• a board that can be used as a small ramp
• blocks of wood to prop up the board at different heights
• a meterstick to measure distance
Which items are necessary for Pierre to build a correct model of the ramp?

Joyce put 200 milliliters of water in a beaker, put a thermometer in it, and heated it until it started to boil. She recorded a temperature of 100ºC when it started to boil. She repeated the process with 400 milliliters of water. What would be the temperature when this second sample started to boil?
a)
. twice as high as the first sample’s
b)
slightly higher than the first sample’s
c)
half as high as the first sample’s
d)
the same as the first sample’s

Jo Anne took a large beaker of clean water and carefully added one drop of blue food coloring to the edge of the water’s surface. She did not touch or move the beaker. At first, she saw blue streaks as the food coloring sank into the water, but gradually the color of the entire beaker of water became evenly blue. What caused the blue food coloring to be mixed throughout the water?
a)
Water molecules
hitting the food coloring molecules caused the mixing.
b)
Light
shining on the surface of the water caused the mixing.
c)
. A chemical reaction between the water and the food coloring formed a
new, light blue compound.
d)
The
water interacted with the food coloring, causing the blue color to fade.

c)
. the ball was not thrown hard enough
d)
the
ball was not thrown straight up

b)
. Water reflects sunlight like a mirror to make
it look colored
c)

black clouds reflect in puddles to cause a mirage.
