1. QuestionMultiple choice

Using (F = ma), what force acts on a 2-kilogram object accelerating at 3 meters per second squared?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: A

The correct answer is 66 newtons.

  1. Identify the evidence: Read the model, data, or scenario and identify the scientific quantities and relationships provided.
  2. Apply the science idea: Multiply mass by acceleration: F = 2 × 3 = 6 newtons.
  3. Check the result: Make sure the conclusion or calculation is consistent with the evidence and units.

Multiply mass by acceleration: F = 2 × 3 = 6 newtons.

2. QuestionMultiple choice

An object travels 100 meters in 20 seconds. What is its average speed?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: B

The correct answer is 55 meters per second.

  1. Identify the evidence: Read the model, data, or scenario and identify the scientific quantities and relationships provided.
  2. Apply the science idea: Average speed equals distance divided by time: 100 / 20 = 5 meters per second.
  3. Check the result: Make sure the conclusion or calculation is consistent with the evidence and units.

Average speed equals distance divided by time: 100 / 20 = 5 meters per second.

3. QuestionMultiple choice

What happens to the kinetic energy of an object when its speed increases?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: C

The correct answer is It increases.

  1. Identify the evidence: Read the model, data, or scenario and identify the scientific quantities and relationships provided.
  2. Apply the science idea: Kinetic energy depends on the square of speed, so increasing speed increases kinetic energy.
  3. Check the result: Make sure the conclusion or calculation is consistent with the evidence and units.

Kinetic energy depends on the square of speed, so increasing speed increases kinetic energy.

4. QuestionMultiple choice

Which statement describes momentum?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: D

The correct answer is Momentum depends on mass and velocity.

  1. Identify the evidence: Read the model, data, or scenario and identify the scientific quantities and relationships provided.
  2. Apply the science idea: Momentum is the product of mass and velocity.
  3. Check the result: Make sure the conclusion or calculation is consistent with the evidence and units.

Momentum is the product of mass and velocity.

5. QuestionMultiple choice

A compressed spring is released. Which energy transformation occurs first?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: A

The correct answer is Elastic potential energy becomes kinetic energy.

  1. Identify the evidence: Read the model, data, or scenario and identify the scientific quantities and relationships provided.
  2. Apply the science idea: The stored energy in the compressed spring changes into motion.
  3. Check the result: Make sure the conclusion or calculation is consistent with the evidence and units.

The stored energy in the compressed spring changes into motion.

6. QuestionMultiple choice

What does wave frequency measure?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: B

The correct answer is The number of complete cycles passing a point per unit time.

  1. Identify the evidence: Read the model, data, or scenario and identify the scientific quantities and relationships provided.
  2. Apply the science idea: Frequency describes how often a wave repeats, commonly measured in hertz.
  3. Check the result: Make sure the conclusion or calculation is consistent with the evidence and units.

Frequency describes how often a wave repeats, commonly measured in hertz.

7. QuestionMultiple choice

In a series circuit, what happens if one bulb is removed?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: C

The correct answer is The circuit opens and current stops through the bulbs.

  1. Identify the evidence: Read the model, data, or scenario and identify the scientific quantities and relationships provided.
  2. Apply the science idea: A series circuit has one path, so removing a bulb breaks the path.
  3. Check the result: Make sure the conclusion or calculation is consistent with the evidence and units.

A series circuit has one path, so removing a bulb breaks the path.

8. QuestionMultiple choice

What does the law of conservation of energy predict for a falling object?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: D

The correct answer is Gravitational potential energy changes into kinetic energy while total energy is conserved.

  1. Identify the evidence: Read the model, data, or scenario and identify the scientific quantities and relationships provided.
  2. Apply the science idea: As height decreases, gravitational potential energy transfers into motion energy.
  3. Check the result: Make sure the conclusion or calculation is consistent with the evidence and units.

As height decreases, gravitational potential energy transfers into motion energy.

9. QuestionMultiple choice
