- Q2The diagram below shows a fish being viewed from above the water. The fish appears to be closer to the surface than it really is. What causes this difference?Light is reflected.Light is focused.Light is refracted.Light is blocked.60s5.6.C: Force, Motion and Energy
- Q3A simplified diagram of a system using solar energy is shown. To recharge the battery for later use without lighting the bulb, which of the following switches should be closed?Switches R and S onlySwitch S onlySwitches R, S, and TSwitches R and T only60s5.6.B: Force, Motion and Energy
- Q4A student designs an experiment to test the effect of the width of a piece of elastic on the elastic’s ability to stretch. The student selects four pieces of elastic with different widths but the same length. The student then attaches blocks with different masses to the pieces of elastic. The results of the student’s experiment are shown below. What should the student do to improve this experiment?Use more than four pieces of elastic and four blocksUse blocks of equal mass on the four pieces of elasticUse blocks with enough mass to cause the four pieces of elastic to breakUse four pieces of elastic with different lengths but the same width60s5.6.D: Force, Motion and Energy
- Q5In 1859, Henry Bursill published a book of hand shadows. The picture below shows one of these hand shadows. Which property of light makes it possible to produce hand shadows?Light can be refracted.Light can be separated into different colors.Light travels in straight lines.Light is a form of energy.60s5.6.C: Force, Motion and Energy
- Q6When a bat searches for prey at night, it makes sounds as it flies, and it uses the sounds’ echoes to find its prey. When the bat flies and listens to echoes to locate prey, it is using —light energy and mechanical energymechanical energy and sound energythermal energy and light energysound energy and thermal energy60s5.6.A: Force, Motion and Energy
- Q7Lasers produce a beam of light that can be focused on a small area. A teacher uses two mirrors to shine a beam of light from a laser onto a box. Which diagram shows how the teacher should position the two mirrors?#texas/664b01aa-8809-4ba7-ad3f-450c270befa9/A.png#texas/664b01aa-8809-4ba7-ad3f-450c270befa9/D.png#texas/664b01aa-8809-4ba7-ad3f-450c270befa9/B.png#texas/664b01aa-8809-4ba7-ad3f-450c270befa9/C.png60s5.6.C: Force, Motion and Energy

- Q9A student made a list of activities that involve energy. Which activities on the list are examples of the use of mechanical energy?Activities 1 and 2Activities 1, 4, and 6Activities 3, 5, and 6Activities 2, 4, and 560s5.6.A: Force, Motion and Energy
- Q10An old-fashioned metal toy is shown below. When the candle is lit, the carousel of horses begins to turn. Which of these correctly describes the energy that makes the carousel turn?Light from the candle produces wind currents.Heat from the candle produces electrical energy.Light from the candle produces mechanical energy.Heat from the candle produces currents of warm air.60s5.6.A: Force, Motion and Energy
- Q11Students constructed a circuit using different-colored lightbulbs. What will happen if Switch 3 is closed and the other switches are left open?Only the white bulb will operate.None of the bulbs will operateOnly the white and yellow bulbs will operate.Only the red and blue bulbs will operate.60s5.6.B: Force, Motion and Energy
- Q12A teacher takes the top and a side off a box. She cuts a hole in another side and puts a candle outside the box, as shown below. When the teacher lights the candle in a dark room, some of the candlelight shines through the hole. Which diagram best shows how the light appears on the opposite wall of the box?#texas/7444e8bb-01a8-4e51-bc9e-e6fe7abd8d02/B.png#texas/7444e8bb-01a8-4e51-bc9e-e6fe7abd8d02/A.png#texas/7444e8bb-01a8-4e51-bc9e-e6fe7abd8d02/C.png#texas/7444e8bb-01a8-4e51-bc9e-e6fe7abd8d02/D.png60s5.6.C: Force, Motion and Energy

Which procedure will result in only the blue lightbulbs operating?Close Switches 2 and 3 and leave Switch 1 openClose Switch 2 and leave Switches 1 and 3 openClose Switch 3 and leave Switches 1 and 2 openClose Switches 1 and 2 and leave Switch 3 open60s5.6.B: Force, Motion and Energy
- Q14Students drop the same heavy ball onto identical blocks of soft clay from different heights. For each height they measure the depth of the dent the ball makes in the clay. Why is the depth of the dent different in each trial?The force of the ball when it hits the clay changes.The mass of the ball when it hits the clay changes.The material of the ball changes.The size of the ball changes.60s5.6.D: Force, Motion and Energy
