WGU C165 Integrated Physical Sciences Test Prep
Questions and Answers
INTRODUCTION TO PHYSICAL SCIENCE
Question 1 of 14
Auroras are bursts of light that happen when charged particles from the sun interact with Earth's
magnetic field and atoms and molecules in our atmosphere.
Which physical science is BEST SUITED explain the interactions of the charged particles with
Earth's magnetic field?
life science
physics
chemistry
Physics can explain the interactions of charged particles with the Earth’s magnetic field because
magnetic fields are forces.
Question 2 of 14
The physical science that is BEST for finding the best locations to drill for the petroleum used
to make the candles is Earth Science.
Earth science is best suited to study Earth’s structure, including the mechanisms and likely
locations for petroleum reservoirs to collect.
Question 3 of 14
The science BEST for studying how hydrogen sulfide and carbon dioxide react is Chemistry.
Chemistry focuses on the study of atoms and molecules, their structures, and their interactions
to form various substances.

Question 9 of 14
Why can’t astronomers carry out a scientific research study to determine which visible star,
other than our sun, is the nicest?
The Hubble telescope has better uses.
Existing telescopes aren’t powerful enough.
There is no way to prove any answer wrong.
A project of that sort cannot get funding.
“Nicest” is subjective. Consider the people who like summer versus winter, or vice versa.
Question 10 of 14
Galileo found that when air resistance can be ignored, heavier and lighter objects fall in the
same way. He tested this rule and confirmed it was consistent with all available data.
The rule Galileo found can BEST be described as a
The rule Galileo found was a tested conclusion describing something very specific that happens,
and was supported by all available data.
Question 11 of 14
Which of these describes a statement that has usually NOT yet been
tested? a hypothesis
a model
a theory
a law
A hypothesis is a testable statement about how something in nature works. It is typically the
best tentative assumption that researchers can make based on the evidence they already have at
that point.
