2nd Nine Weeks Review

Use the diagram below to answer the question. A 10-kilogram (kg) box is placed on a ramp at point L. The ramp has been covered with oil to reduce friction. The box begins to move once placed on the ramp. In ten trials the box comes to a stop between points F and E. What is most likely to happen if the box is placed at point G instead of point L?

• The box will move at a faster speed.

• The box will come to rest before Point F.

• The box will continue to move past Point E.

• The box will not move at all.

• After crossing Position D, the ball will slowly gain kinetic energy.

• The potential energy at Position B is 50% greater than that of Position A, but less than Position C.

• The kinetic energy of the ball at Position C is greater than either Position A or B.

Five students are running a lemonade stand in their neighborhood. They combine 3 liters of water with 4 packets of lemon flavoring. However, the students felt the taste was too sour and that people would not like the taste of it. What action should the students take to decrease the concentration of lemon flavoring in the solution?

• increase the amount of solute

• stir the solution vigorously

• increase the amount of solvent

• add more lemon flavoring

The picture below shows four parts of a wooden pencil. Which part of the pencil is the best conductor of electricity?

• plastic grip

• rubber eraser

• wood body

The star cluster shown above is that of the “Seven Sisters.” Why do these stars appear dimmer than the Sun (which is also a star)?

• Because the stars of the “Seven Sisters” are less dense than the Sun.

• Because the Sun gives off light, which can be seen from Earth without a telescope.

• Because stars within the cluster known as the “Seven Sisters” do not create light in the same way as the Sun (i.e., producing light by a nuclear reaction called fusion).

• Because the “Seven Sisters” are located more than 400 million light years from Earth.
