- Q1
What is the problem or question being tested using the pendulum data above?
Nothing is being tested
Will the mass of the pendulum affect the time it will take it to swing 20 times?
Will the distance the string is pulled back affect the time it will take the pendulum to swing 20 times?
Will the length of the string affect the time it will take the pendulum to swing 20 times?
30s - Q2
What force caused the player to scrape his arm on the floor?
Friction
Gravity
Balanced Forces
Air resistance
30s - Q3
A student wanted to know if mass of a pendulum affects the time it takes to complete 20 swings, What type of investigation (descriptive, comparative, experimental) is this pendulum investigation?
Comparative, because it is comparing the length of the string
Descriptive, because it describing the amount of time it takes to complete 20 swings.
Comparative, because it is comparing the mass of the pendulum
Experimental, because it has an independent and dependent variable.
30s - Q4
What is sea-floor spreading and what type of boundary would you find here?
Sea floor spreading is where new sea floor is destroyed. You would find a mid-ocean ridge at a divergent boundary
Sea floor spreading is where a mid-ocean ridge is created at a convergent boundary under the ocean floor.
Sea floor spreading is where new sea floor forms, pushing existing rock in opposite directions. You would find a mid-ocean ridge at a convergent boundary
Sea floor spreading is where new sea floor forms, pushing existing rock in opposite directions. You would find a mid-ocean ridge at a divergent boundary
30s - Q5
Describe how the 3 types of plate boundaries form.
Divergent- a boundary in which two plates are coming together. Transform- a boundary in which two plates are pulling away from each other. Convergent- boundary in which two plates are sliding horizontally past each other
Transform- a boundary in which two plates are coming together. Convergent - a boundary in which two plates are pulling away from each other. Divergent- boundary in which two plates are sliding horizontally past each other
Convergent- a boundary in which two plates are coming together. Divergent- a boundary in which two plates are pulling away from each other. Transform- a boundary in which two plates are sliding horizontally past each other
Oceanic-Oceanic Convergent, Oceanic-Continental Convergent, Continental-Continental Convergent
30s - Q6
What is a chemical reaction?
When two or more substances react and an unknown substance is created
When chemical bonds are broken and matter is lost or gained
The process in which atoms are rearranged to produce new substances; the bonds that hold atoms together may be formed or broken.
only occur when an explosion takes place
30s - Q7
What type of compound forms when a metal bonds with a nonmetal?
covalent
ionic
complex
metallic
30s - Q8
How is helium different from the other noble gasses in group 18?
Helium has only 1 proton
Helium has a complete set of 8 valence electrons
Helium has two valence electrons in its first and only energy level.
Helium is a metal, while the rest of the noble gasses are nonmetals
30s - Q9
At which point(s) on the diagram above will the roller coaster have the least potential energy?
Position B
Position A
Position D
Position C
30s - Q10
What is weathering?
The process that causes earthquakes and transform boundaries
The process by which rock is broken down into smaller particles
The process in which rock, sediment, and soil are transported from one place to another
The process by which sediment is deposited in a new location
30s - Q11
What is an exothermic reaction? Endothermic?
Exothermic - a chemical reaction that requires an input of energy - energy is taken in during the reaction. Endothermic - a chemical reaction in which energy is released to the surroundings - energy is given off in several forms (light, heat, sound, etc)
Endothermic - a substance that slows down or stops a chemical reaction; Exothermic - a substance that speeds up the rate of a chemical reaction.
Endothermic - a chemical reaction that requires an input of energy - energy is taken in during the reaction. Exothermic - a chemical reaction in which energy is released to the surroundings - energy is given off in several forms (light, heat, sound, etc)
Neither substance causes any change to a chemical reaction
30s - Q12
How many elements are in the chemical formula NaOH? How many atoms are in this formula?
Elements - 3; Atoms - 3
Elements - 4; Atoms - 4
Elements - 3; Atoms - 1
Elements - 2; Atoms - 2
30s - Q13
What are valence electrons and why are they important?
Valence electrons are the electrons in the outermost energy level. They tell us the element's reactivity.
They are always equal to the number of protons and therefore identifies the element
They determine what the element is
They are the total number of electrons that an atom has and they determine where an atom is located on the periodic table
30s - Q14
Describe how the following are formed: folded mountains, fault-block mountains, volcanic mountains, subduction zones, mid-ocean ridges, trenches, and rift valleys.
Convergent- a boundary in which two plates are coming together. Divergent- a boundary in which two plates are pulling away from each other. Transform- a boundary in which two plates are sliding horizontally past each other
all form at mid-ocean ridges
Wherever you find plate boundaries
Folded mountain- at a convergent boundary where two plates push together, Fault-block mountains- There large pieces of rock break due to tension at divergent boundaries, Volcanic mountains- When plates collide and one plate subducts under another, allowing magma to push up to the surface. Also at divergent boundaries at mid-ocean ridges, Subduction zone- at oceanic-oceanic or continental-oceanic convergent boundaries. The denser plate subducts, or goes under the less dense plate, Mid-Ocean Ridge- These are found at divergent boundaries where crust is pulled apart and sea-floor spreading is happening, Trenches- found at subduction zones as one plate goes under another, Rift Valleys- formed by divergent boundaries where crust is pulled apart forming shallow valleys
30s - Q15
If an element has 3 valence electrons, what group is it in? What will its charge be when it reacts to form an ion?
Group 13; 3+
Group 3; 3+
Group 13; 13+
Group 13; 3-
