18. Dallas ISD Science Department The space shuttle orbits Earth at approximately 8000 m/s. The shuttle stays in orbit because the — A shuttle’s action is balanced by Earth’s equal and opposite reaction B combination of gravity and the shuttle’s inertia creates a curved path parallel to Earth’s surface C net gravitational force is zero at the shuttle’s distance from Earth’s center D force of Earth’s gravity pulls the shuttle downward and the force of the moon’s gravity pulls the shuttle upward

19. Dallas ISD Science Department B combination of gravity and the shuttle’s inertia creates a curved path parallel to Earth’s surface

20. Dallas ISD Science Department A catapult was designed to project a small metal ball at a target. The resulting data are shown in the table. Which of these might explain the difference between the calculated and actual distances? A The ball landed short of the calculated distance because of an increase in momentum. B Air resistance caused the ball to land short of the calculated distance. C Initial mass of the ball changed with each trial. D The metal ball was too small for accurate measurements to be made.

21. Dallas ISD Science Department B Air resistance caused the ball to land short of the calculated distance.

26. When trying to spear a fish in water, a person needs to take into account the way light bends as it moves from water into air. The bending of light as it passes from one medium into another is known as — F reflection G refraction H diffraction J polarization

27. Dallas ISD Science Department G refraction

28. Dallas ISD Science Department When white light passes through a triangular block of glass or a prism, the light that comes through is a rainbow of colored light: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and violet. The colors are the result of the refraction, or bending of the beam of white light, and provide evidence that white light is a combination of all the colors. The colors spread out into a spectrum or rainbow because the amount of refraction that occurs depends on the wavelength, and each color has a different wavelength. The wavelength of red is the longest, and the wavelength of violet is the shortest. The shorter the wavelength, the greater the amount of refraction. Thus, violet is refracted the most and red is refracted the least. Based on the statement above, what is the sequence of the colors yellow, violet, and red when they are arranged in increasing order of the amount of refraction each color undergoes when it passes through a prism? A. yellow, red, violet B. violet, yellow, red C. red, violet, yellow D. red, yellow, violet

29. Dallas ISD Science Department D. red, yellow, violet

30. Dallas ISD Science Department The reflection of waves from a surface follows which of the following rules? A.None of the energy carried by the wave is reflected. B.The angle of incidence is always normal to the surface. C.The angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection. D.Only light waves polarized in the horizontal direction are reflected.

31. Dallas ISD Science Department C. The angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection.

32. Dallas ISD Science Department The moon’s surface becomes hot during the long lunar day because the sun transfers heat to the moon. This heat transfer is accomplished almost entirely through the process of — F convection G refraction H conduction J radiation

34. Dallas ISD Science Department Battery-powered cars produce less air pollution than gasoline-powered cars. However, one environmental concern of using battery-powered cars is that batteries — A are heavier than gasoline engines B waste more energy than gasoline engines C contain toxic substances that are difficult to dispose of D produce direct current rather than alternating current
