At which point is the car traveling the fastest?
Point C because it has the lowest GPE and therefore the highest KE.
100
What is the amplitude of this wave?
0.1m

In a circuit, what makes it harder for the current to flow?
Resistance

Physics students think that it will take longer for heavier cars to stop then for lighter cars to stop. Multiple cars with different masses are traveling at 60 mph. At a certain point, all cars slam on the brakes. The distance it takes for each car to stop is then measured.
What is the hypothesis?
Heavier cars will travel farther when stopping than lighter cars.
100
Which wave has most energy?
The purple wave because it has the highest frequency.
200
If the car has 1000J of energy at the beginning of the rollercoaster ride. How much total energy does it have at point C?
1000J
200
What is the wavelength of this wave?
4m

You have a 3V battery with a current of 1A. What is the resistance in this circuit?
3 ohms.
200
Physics students think that it will take longer for heavier cars to stop then for lighter cars to stop. Multiple cars with different masses are traveling at 60 mph. At a certain point, all cars slam on the brakes. The distance it takes for each car to stop is then measured.
In graphing this data, what will go on the x-axis?
Mass of cars
200
Identify the types of energy in the following scenario.
Chemical, kinetic, thermal, vibrational, radiant, gravitational potential energy
300
Is the roller coaster going faster at Point B or Point D?
Point B because it has less GPE and therefore more KE, due to the law of conservation of energy.

At the beach, a wave lands on the sand every 3 seconds. If the tops of the waves are 15 meters apart, what is the wave’s speed?
5 m/s

What happens to kinetic energy when there is friction present?
It transforms into thermal energy.
400
If the car has 1000J of energy at point A, how much kinetic energy does it have at point B?
500J

A music note with a frequency of 680 hertz is played. Its wavelength is 0.5 m. What is the speed of this sound wave?
340 m/s
400
What is the total resistance if you have a series circuit with the following three resistors?
9ohms
400
Physics students think that it will take longer for heavier cars to stop then for lighter cars to stop. Multiple cars with different masses are traveling at 60 mph. At a certain point, all cars slam on the brakes. The distance it takes for each car to stop is then measured.
In graphing this data, what will you title the graph?
Distance it takes car to stop vs. mass of car
400
What makes bimaterial strips bend?
The rate of thermal expansion between the two materials is different so it will bend when heated or cooled, as one material tries to expand more than the other material.
500
What is the law of conservation of energy?
Energy can change forms but it is never created or destroyed.
