- Q2Water flows through turbines in dams like the one shown below. The flowing water makes the turbines spin. What type of energy is used to make the turbines spin in this type of dam?Mechanical energyThermal energyLight energySound energy60s5.6.A: Force, Motion and Energy
- Q3The diagram shows a series circuit with three lit bulbs. How many of the bulbs will remain lit if the wire is cut at the point shown by the arrow?302160s5.6.B: Force, Motion and Energy
- Q4Three different objects that use the same source of energy are shown below. What is the energy source for these objects?Electrical energyLight energySound energyMechanical energy60s5.6.A: Force, Motion and Energy
- Q5When light travels through air into a prism, it bends and separates into many colors. In which other situation does light bend?When light moves through air into waterWhen light passes through outer spaceWhen light hits a wallWhen light hits a mirror60s5.6.C: Force, Motion and Energy
- Q6Scientists use telescopes to make distant objects appear closer. Some parts of a telescope are shown below. Which of the following best describes how the objective lens of this telescope helps a scientist observe the moon?The objective lens blocks lightThe objective lens produces light.The objective lens reflects light.The objective lens refracts light.60s5.6.C: Force, Motion and Energy
- Q7Which of these changes to the electric circuit shown above will cause the lightbulb to light up?Adding 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 lightbulbTurning one battery so that its positive end connects to the other battery’s negative end60s5.6.B: Force, Motion and Energy
- Q8A student uses a spring scale to pull a 50-gram block horizontally across a wood desk. Then the student pulls the block the same distance across surfaces of carpet, sandpaper, and glass. Which question is this investigation most likely designed to answer?How do blocks affect spring scales?How does the mass of a block change when it is pulled across a desk?How do different surfaces affect the amount of force needed to move a block?How do blocks of different sizes react to force?60s5.6.D: Force, Motion and Energy
- Q9A string of lights with small bulbs is shown below. The bulbs are connected by wire that is covered with an insulator. When the lights are on, electricity travels in —a light raya complete circuita sound wavean incomplete path60s5.6.B: Force, Motion and Energy
- Q10The picture below 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 refracted.60s5.6.C: Force, Motion and Energy
- Q11A 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 below. Which of these is most likely Step 3 in the student’s experiment?Drop the same marble from different heights into the pan of flourDrop marbles of different masses from the same height into the pan of flourDrop a single marble one time into the pan of flourDrop marbles of different sizes from different heights into the pan of flour60s5.6.D: Force, Motion and Energy
- Q12The diagram shows the metal posts that are usually found on a battery. The battery can be connected to a bell and a switch to produce sound. Which statement best explains why there are two metal posts on the battery?One metal post makes a complete circuit with the switch, and the other metal post makes a complete circuit with the bell.The battery needs to form a complete circuit that starts with one metal post and ends with the other metal post.One metal post makes the bell start to ring, and the other metal post makes the bell ring louder.The battery needs only one metal post to connect to the bell, but the other metal post is present in case the first post fails to work.60s5.6.B: Force, Motion and Energy
- Q13A 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 mechanicalLight, mechanical, and thermalMechanical, light, and electricalElectrical and thermal60s5.6.A: Force, Motion and Energy
- Q14Some students paint the inside of several boxes. They paint each box a different color. They observe that the inside of the box painted white looks brighter than the others. What is the most likely reason this box looks brighter?More light is absorbed by white paint.More light is reflected off white paint.More light is refracted by white paint.More light passes through white paint.60s5.6.C: Force, Motion and Energy
- Q15Most 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 power windows will open faster.The car’s lights will burn brighterThe car’s turn signal will blink too slowly.The car’s radio will not work.60s5.6.B: Force, Motion and Energy
