Foghorns are another method of warning ships that they are close to the shore. Foghorns emit low-pitched sound waves in all directions that can be heard on ships when visibility is low. Low-pitched waves have longer wavelengths that are less likely to be blocked by barriers such as rocks. Compare the warning signals emitted by a lighthouse with those emitted by a foghorn. Select all the correct answers. You may select more than one answer for each scenario.

Based on the experiment in the passage, select the statement that accurately describes the increase or decrease of the kinetic energy of the particles.
The kinetic energy of the particles will increase in the water that is in the beaker as it is being heated.The kinetic energy of the particles will decrease in the washers after being placed in the beaker of water.The kinetic energy of the particles will remain the same in the water that is in the beaker as it is being heated.The kinetic energy of the particles will increase in the washers after being placed in the cup of water.

Students take turns pitching a softball and a baseball to determine whose pitch has the most kinetic energy. Each student pitches a ball, and the teacher measures the speed using a digital radar detector. Analyze the data in Table 1 and Table 2 from the passage. Using the patterns in the data, which list ranks the pitches from least kinetic energy (first) to most kinetic energy (last)?
softball at 26.4 m/s, softball at 25.8 m/s, baseball at 25.8 m/s, base ball at 22.2 m/s
baseball at 22.2 m/s, softball at 25.8 m/s, baseball at 25.8 m/s, soft ball at 26.4 m/s
baseball at 22.2 m/s, baseball at 25.8 m/s, softball at 25.8 m/s, soft ball at 26.4 m/s
softball at 25.8 m/s, baseball at 22.2 m/s, softball at 26.4 m/s, base ball at 25.8 m/s

120s - Q15
A student is attempting to move a piece of furniture from Point A to Point Band argues that another student in the room should help push the furniture.The other student argues that only one person is needed, and they shoulduse coasters under the edges of the furniture. Which statement supports theargument that only one student is needed to push the couch shown inFigure 1?
The coasters under the edges of the furniture would increase the force of friction and therefore increase the amount of force needed to move the couch.
Doubling the amount of force used to push would decrease the force of friction and therefore make the couch easier to move.
Doubling the amount of force used to push would distribute the mass more evenly and therefore make the couch easier to move.
The coasters under the edges of the furniture would decrease the force of friction and therefore decrease the amount of force needed to move the couch.
