A ,mathematical ,model ,is ,used ,to ,predict ,the ,trajectory ,of ,a ,bullet ,fired ,from ,a ,gun.
,Which ,discipline ,of ,physical ,science ,is ,used ,to ,develop ,this ,model? ,- ,CORRECT
,ANSWER-Physics


An ,environmental ,scientist ,monitors ,pollutants ,in ,a ,lake. ,Which ,two ,disciplines ,of
,physical ,science ,does ,this ,scientist ,use? ,- ,CORRECT ,ANSWER-Chemistry ,and ,Earth
,science


Which ,study ,involves ,both ,Earth ,science ,and ,physics? ,- ,CORRECT ,ANSWER-
Calculating ,how ,much ,energy ,is ,associated ,with ,a ,hurricane

Which ,question ,could ,be ,answered ,with ,a ,controlled ,experiment? ,- ,CORRECT
,ANSWER-Does ,ice ,melt ,faster ,in ,an ,empty ,glass ,or ,in ,a ,glass ,full ,of ,water?


Which ,topic ,would ,be ,appropriate ,for ,a ,controlled ,experiment? ,- ,CORRECT
,ANSWER-Determining ,how ,fast ,different ,chemical ,pollutants ,dissolve ,in ,water


Which ,question ,requires ,a ,controlled ,experiment ,to ,answer? ,- ,CORRECT ,ANSWER-

Sir ,Isaac ,Newton ,discovered ,that ,the ,force ,of ,gravity ,between ,two ,masses ,increases
,if ,the ,masses ,increase, ,and ,decreases ,if ,the ,distance ,between ,the ,masses
,increases. ,No ,experiments ,have ,ever ,contradicted ,this ,relationship. ,Which ,type ,of
,scientific ,statement ,is ,this? ,- ,CORRECT ,ANSWER-Law


The ,well-accepted ,scientific ,explanation ,for ,many ,characteristics ,of ,Earth's ,crust
,states ,that ,the ,crust ,is ,broken ,into ,several ,large ,plates. ,These ,plates ,move ,slowly
,over ,the ,mantle ,below ,because ,of ,convection ,and ,other ,processes. ,Earthquakes ,and
,volcanoes ,are ,most ,common ,at ,places ,where ,the ,plates ,interact. ,Evidence ,from
,physics, ,chemistry, ,and ,geology ,supports ,this ,explanation. ,Which ,type ,of ,scientific
,idea ,is ,this ,explanation ,an ,example ,of? ,- ,CORRECT ,ANSWER-Theory

, A ,student ,proposes ,that ,sugar ,will ,dissolve ,faster ,in ,rubbing ,alcohol ,than ,in ,water.
,The ,student ,reasons ,that ,sugar ,and ,rubbing ,alcohol ,both ,contain ,carbon ,so ,they ,will
,mix ,more ,easily. ,Which ,type ,of ,scientific ,idea ,is ,the ,student's ,proposal ,an ,example
,of? ,- ,CORRECT ,ANSWER-Hypothesis


Law ,- ,CORRECT ,ANSWER-A ,body ,of ,enforceable ,rules ,governing ,relationships
,among ,individuals ,and ,between ,individuals ,and ,their ,society.


Theory ,- ,CORRECT ,ANSWER-A ,hypothesis ,that ,has ,been ,tested ,with ,a ,significant
,amount ,of ,data


Hypothesis ,- ,CORRECT ,ANSWER-A ,testable ,prediction, ,often ,implied ,by ,a ,theory

Observation ,- ,CORRECT ,ANSWER-Information ,obtained ,through ,the ,senses.

Why ,was ,the ,shrinking ,Earth ,idea ,replaced ,by ,the ,theory ,of ,plate ,tectonics? ,-
,CORRECT ,ANSWER-Plate ,tectonics ,explained ,observations ,about ,Earth ,that ,the
,shrinking ,Earth ,idea ,could ,not ,explain.


Astronomers ,have ,long ,accepted ,that ,plate ,tectonics ,exists ,nowhere ,in ,our ,solar
,system ,except ,on ,Earth. ,In ,2011, ,a ,scientist ,analyzed ,100 ,NASA-space-mission
,photographs ,of ,Valles ,Marineris ,on ,Mars, ,the ,longest ,known ,series ,of ,canyons ,in ,the
,solar ,system. ,The ,scientist ,found ,that ,Valles ,Marineris ,showed ,features ,found ,only ,in
,locations ,on ,Earth ,where ,major ,tectonic ,plates ,divide. ,What ,would ,be ,the ,appropriate
,response ,of ,scientists ,to ,this ,information? ,- ,CORRECT ,ANSWER-Carry ,out ,further
,research ,to ,gain ,more ,understanding ,of ,possible ,plate ,tectonics ,on ,Mars


According ,to ,the ,theory ,of ,plate ,tectonics, ,volcanoes ,are ,especially ,likely ,to ,form
,along ,plate ,boundaries ,because ,of ,rising ,magma. ,New ,satellite ,data ,mapping ,the
,ocean ,floor ,reveals ,thousands ,of ,seamounts, ,which ,are ,small ,volcanoes. ,Some ,of
,the ,seamounts ,are ,in ,lines ,that ,could ,correspond ,to ,past ,or ,present ,plate ,boundaries,
,but ,many ,are ,not ,aligned ,in ,this ,way. ,How ,should ,scientists ,appropriately ,respond ,to
,the ,idea ,that ,some ,new ,mechanism ,of ,forming ,the ,volcanoes ,is ,involved? ,-
,CORRECT ,ANSWER-Carry ,out ,more ,research ,to ,understand ,better ,how ,the
,seamounts ,form


For ,many ,decades, ,scientists ,thought ,they ,understood ,how ,ozone ,breaks ,down ,in ,the
,stratosphere, ,creating ,ozone ,holes. ,However, ,new ,data ,show ,significantly ,lower
,reaction ,rates ,than ,can ,be ,explained ,by ,the ,long-held ,model. ,What ,is ,the ,appropriate
,scientific ,approach ,for ,dealing ,with ,this ,contradiction? ,- ,CORRECT ,ANSWER-The
,existing ,theory ,was ,changed ,to ,account ,for ,new ,data


A ,woman ,does ,pushups ,by ,lowering ,her ,body ,to ,the ,floor ,using ,her ,arms ,and ,then
,pressing ,against ,the ,floor ,with ,her ,hands ,to ,push ,herself ,back ,up, ,as ,shown ,in ,the
,image ,below.
