What is a reason people don’t use eco friendly energy? Cost of energy and infrastructure
Two friends conduct an experiment testing the solubility of solids in water. They send this to a third friend. Is this an example of repetition or replication? Replication
What is the most significant difference between repetition and replication? Repetition improves accuracy while replication removes bias.
A laser strikes a mirror with an angle of incidence equaling 50 degrees. How many degrees is the angle of reflection on the mirror? 50 degrees

What is type of heat transfer is radiation? radiation is the transfer of heat through electromagnetic waves.
What is convection? convection is the transfer of heat through a the movement of a fluid (liquid or gas)
What are some examples of contact forces? friction, drag, and spring force
What are examples of non-contact forces? gravity, electrical force, and magnetic force
What is the longest wave length Radio Waves
What is the shortest wavelength? Gamma Rays
When is GPE the greatest? Highest position above the surface
When is KE the greatest on a roller coaster? Lowest position on the track
When an object is moving at a constant speed away from origin what would that graph look like? Upward sloped line
How is an object at rest graphed on a speed graph? horizontal line
