8. What physical change occurs at a substance’s melting point?

The substance becomes a liquid.

9. Describe the movement of particles as they change phases (from a solid liquid gas)

The particles start to move faster and spread out more at each phase.

10. Describe the physical properties (their volume and shape) of the states of matter:

Solid: definite shape, definite volume

Liquid: definite volume, not a definite shape - Liquids will take the shape of their container

Chapter 10: Lesson 4 (pages E52-EE63)

22. When molecules are heated, how do they move? The molecules will speed up and move more freely.

23. How are kinetic energy and potential energy different?

Kinetic Energy :the energy of any moving object

Potential Energy : the energy stored in an object or material.

24.Describe the energy change when a child is sliding down a slide.

The child has potential energy at the top of the slide. The energy changes to kinetic energy when the child moves down the slide.

25. Draw and label a diagram explaining how a golf ball changes from potential energy, to kinetic energy, back to potential energy.

26. When a diver is diving off of a diving board, at what point in their dive do they have the most:

Potential energy? The moment before the diver begins to dive.

Kinetic energy? At the very start of his dive.

27. In what way is heat transferred when you put a hot object in contact with a cooler one?

The energy transfers from the hot object to the cool one until they reach the same temperature.

28. To make a liquid evaporate quicker or become more soluble what could you do to it?

Heating a liquid will cause it to evaporate quicker or become more soluble.

29. What happens to the kinetic energy of an object when it

A) Cools down: The molecules slow down – the kinetic energy decreases.

B) Heats up: The molecules speed up – the kinetic energy increases.

30. Name the transfer of energy occurring in the picture above:

A. Convection B. Conduction

C. Radiation

31. Why does the liquid in the pot boil? How is it getting heated?

The heat passes from the burner into the pot, heating the water at the bottom. Then, this hot water rises and cooler water moves down to replace it, causing a circular motion.

Chapter 11: Lesson 7 (pages E97-E105)

32. The hair of a child sliding down a slide at the park is standing on end, why? The buildup of static electricity. The child is getting negative charges in their body from the slide, those charges move to the farthest part of the body which is the hair. Since all the hairs have the negative charges, each hair will be repelled from the other.

33. What will happen when two objects with the same charge come in contact? Objects with the opposite charges?

Objects with the same charge will repel.

Objects with opposite charges will attract.


34. What materials are good conductors of electricity?

Metals, water (people)

35. What materials are good insulators (do not easily conduct electricity)?

Rubber, plastic, wood

36. How do switches control whether a circuit is open or closed?

• When a switch is on, the circuit is closed.

• When a switch is off, the circuit is open.


37. What type of material do magnets attract?

Metal objects made of iron, cobalt, and nickel; other magnets

38. In the bar magnet below, where is its magnetic field the strongest?

At the poles.

Chapter 12 : Lesson 1 (pages F5-F15)

39. What is the formula for finding average speed?

Average speed = distance / time

40. If a plane flies 2400 km in 3 hours, what is its average speed?

2400 km ÷ 3 hours = 800 km/h

41. If the plane from the above problem is traveling from New York to California, what is its velocity?

800 km/h, heading West

42. The graph below relates distance to time for a jogger on a morning run. What was the runner’s distance after 12 minutes? Show your work below.

Lesson 2 (pages F17-F29)

43. What force makes a ball fall to the ground? Gravity

44. A child pushes a wagon forward with 100 N of force. Another child pushes back with 120 N. Which way will the wagon move, and why?

The direction the child pushing back is pushing. This child is exerting more force on the wagon, therefore making the wagon move in the direction he is pushing.

45. What is Newton’s First Law of Motion?

• An object at rest (velocity=0) will stay at rest.

• An object in motion will stay in motion. - An object moving in a straight line at a constant speed (same velocity) will tend to keep moving that way.

• An object’s velocity can only be changed after applying a force to the object.

46. What is friction?

The force that opposes the motion of one object sliding over another.

47. Give examples for each of the types of friction discussed in your textbook.

Sliding Friction – A worker moving a box across the floor.

Static Friction – a book sliding down a ramp. Rolling Friction – A person rollerblading.

48. How does a spring scale work?

As its name suggests, it has a spring inside. When the spring is connected to the wooden block, pulling on the spring scale’s handle causes the spring inside to stretch. As the spring stretches, it applies

more and more force to the block. A pointer is attached to the spring, and its position gives the amount of force in

newtons.

Lab Skills: Reading a Ruler

49. What is the smallest unit of measurement on the ruler below?

Millimeters (mm)
