1. A student adds a fifth paper clip, A, at 8 centimeters away from the magnet. Paper clip Z moves toward the magnet while paper clip A does not. Which statement best explains this difference in attraction? 

A.
The magnetic field created by the magnet is weaker at 8 cm than at 7 cm.

6. A student holds an ice cube in his hand to demonstrate the transfer of thermal energy. In his hand, the ice cubes quickly begin to melt. The ice cubes are shown.

Which best describes the process of thermal energy the student is demonstrating?

B. 
The student is demonstrating conduction, where heat is transferred from his hand to the ice cubes.

11. When volcanoes erupt, they emit large plumes of hot smoke and ash, which can spread and cover miles of sky. Which process lifts the hot, black clouds into the sky? 

D. convection that causes warmer air to rise and cooler air to sink into its place

16. Gregory is making a turkey for Thanksgiving by roasting it in his oven. The turkey started at a room temperature of 25°C, and the oven was preheated to 175°C. If Gregory accidentally turns off the oven after he places the turkey inside of it, then what will happen to the turkey? 

A. 

Thermal energy will flow from the oven into the turkey and continue to flow until they reach equilibrium at 100°C or the turkey is removed.

7. A student is investigating thermal energy by observing a hot air balloon in flight. The student observes that when the flame from the burner changes, the motion of the balloon changes. The hot air balloon is shown. 

When the flame from the burner is high, warmer air molecules rise through the process of convection.

17. A student places two pots of soil outside in the sunshine. He covers one pot with wood. After 20 minutes, he measures the temperature of the soil in each pot. The soil that is covered with wood has a temperature of 28°C. The soil that is uncovered has a temperature of 38°C. How do the Sun's rays affect the molecular motion in the uncovered soil? 

B. 
It increases the molecular motion.

18. A glow stick is a plastic tube that contains two separate liquids. When the liquids are mixed, they glow. The diagrams show the process that causes a glow stick to emit light.



Based on the diagrams, what energy transformations occur when using a glow stick?

C. 
Mechanical energy cracks the inner tube, which starts a reaction that transforms chemical energy into light energy.
