Q: 3
In 2011, scientists reported on an experiment in which neutrinos appeared to travel faster than light.
This result was remarkable because it violates Einstein’s theory of special relativity, which has been a
cornerstone of our understanding of physics since 1905.
What is the appropriate scientific approach for dealing with this contradiction?

Q: 4
Sir Isaac Newton discovered that when one object applies a force to another object, the second
object applies an equal force to the first object. Since Newton did his work, numerous investigations
have confirmed this relationship.
Which type of scientific statement is this?

Q: 5
Which of these is an example of climate change caused by human activity?
Options
Q: 6
A scientist wants to determine how the speed of flowing water affects the size of sediment particles
it can carry. The scientist places a mix of sediment particles in the bottom of a trough and runs water
through the trough. The scientist varies the speed of the water and measures the sizes of the
particles that the water carries away.
Which type of investigation is the scientist using?
Options
Q: 7
A person near a campfire may feel warmth from the fire even though the heated air above the fire
does not reach her.
Which part of the electromagnetic spectrum transfers most of the energy that warms her?

Q: 8
Which type of wave travels faster through water than through air?

Q: 9
In space, small particles of matter can join together to form larger particles. Those larger particles
have more mass and can then attract even more particles to themselves to grow even larger.
Eventually, they may form an asteroid, comet, planet, or star.
Which force allows the particles to attract more and more particles as their mass increases?
