Students 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 size of the ball changes

• The material of the ball changes

• The mass of the ball when it hits the clay changes

• The force of the ball when it hits the clay changes

3.5C Changes from Heat

A student prepared a snack that consisted of grapes, pecans, and strawberries sprinkled with white powdered sugar. The student stored the snack in a refrigerator. An hour later the student observed that the powdered sugar could no longer be seen but the fruit and nuts had not changed appearance.

What most likely happened to the sugar in the mixture?

• The sugar evaporated at the lower temperature in the refrigerator without causing any changes to the fruit and nuts

• The sugar was more dense than the other foods in the mixture, so it settled to the bottom of the container.

• The sugar dissolved in the moisture on the fruit.

• The sugar absorbed energy from the nuts and melted into a colorless liquid.

A student combined powdered paint with water to make a small amount of a blue liquid paint mixture. The student left the paint mixture in an open container. Several days later the student found the container and observed that changes had occurred. What most likely happened to the mixture?

• The container was empty after the mixture evaporated into the air.

• The paint evaporated, leaving only clear water in the container.

• The water evaporated. leaving only a dry blue solid in the container.

• The liquid paint mixture was lighter in color after some water evaporated.
