- Q1Water flows through turbines in dams like the one shown. The flowing water makes the turbines spin. What type of energy is used to make the turbines spin in this type of dam?Light energyThermal energyMechanical energySound energy30s5.6a
- Q2A class is learning about states of matter. The teacher shows the students how to set up the investigation shown in the diagram. What kinds of energy are needed in this investigation to change the state of matter of the candle?Thermal and mechanicalElectrical and thermalLight, mechanical, and thermalMechanical, light, and electrical30s5.6a
- Q3Which of these changes to the electric circuit shown above will cause the lightbulb to light up?Turning one battery so that its positive end connects to the other battery’s negative endAdding a switch and more wire so that the current can flow more easilyStraightening the wire so that the current can flow more easilyMaking the length of wire the same on both sides of the lightbulb30s5.6b
- Q4Most cars have lights, power locks, radios, and other equipment that use electricity. Electric circuits power this equipment. Each circuit has a fuse that completes it. The picture below shows one type of fuse a car may have. Which of these describes one thing that could happen if the wire in a car fuse burns out?The car’s turn signal will blink too slowlyThe car’s lights will burn brighterThe car’s radio will not work.The car’s power windows will open faster.30s5.6b
- Q5Which of these best demonstrates the reflection of light?Looking at a star on a clear nightLooking at a lightbulb that is glowingLooking at an image formed on a silver spoonLooking through the glass of a large window30s5.6c
- Q6When light travels through air into a prism, it bends and separates into many colors. In which other situation does light bend?When light hits a mirrorWhen light hits a wallWhen light passes through outer spaceWhen light moves through air into water30s5.6c
- Q7A string of lights with small bulbs is shown. The bulbs are connected by wire that is covered with an insulator. When the lights are on, electricity travels ina light rayan incomplete patha sound wavea complete circuit30s5.6b
- Q8The picture shows a child standing in a swimming pool. Why does the lower part of the child appear so much different in size from the upper part?The light rays that travel through water and then into air are enlarged.The light rays that travel through air and then into water are reflected.The light rays that travel through air and then into water are reduced.The light rays that travel through water and then into air are refracted30s5.6c
- Q9A student observes that the craters on the moon are different sizes. The student designs an experiment to study the formation of craters. The materials for the experiment are marbles and a pan of flour. The student makes a hypothesis that the size of the craters made on the surface of the flour will depend on the height from which the marble is dropped. Some of the steps in the student’s experiment are described. Which of these is most likely Step 3 in the student’s experiment?Drop marbles of different masses from the same height into the pan of flourDrop a single marble one time into the pan of flourDrop the same marble from different heights into the pan of flourDrop marbles of different sizes from different heights into the pan of flour30s5.6d
- Q10A student designs an experiment to test the force of a spring using a spring launcher and four spheres with the same diameter but with different masses. What other piece of equipment would be most useful for this experiment?A stopwatch to measure how long it takes to load each sphere on the springA meterstick to measure the height each sphere reaches after the sphere is launchedA beaker to collect the spheres after they are launchedA graduated cylinder to measure the volume of each sphere before the sphere is launched30s5.6d
