How would you use the scientific method to determine the relationship between the mass of an object and its acceleration due to gravity?

• Calculate the force on different masses and measure the acceleration

• Drop objects of different masses from the same height and time their descent

• Increase the mass of an object while keeping the force constant

• Keep the mass constant and vary the force applied

Sulfur is a nonmetal. Of the following, the physical characteristic that is most

likely to describe a sample of sulfur is —

• a shiny appearance

• brittleness

• malleability

• ductility

Look at the pictures above. A shows the bag before the vinegar and baking soda are mixed together, and B shows it after they are mixed together. In which picture do the contents of the bag have the greater mass?

• The mass is greater in A—before they are mixed.

• The mass is greater in B—after they are mixed.

• The mass is the same in both.

• The mass depends on the temperature.
