All but sound
20Category 1
Quest
ion
Which letters indicate a node?
30Category 1
Answ
er
D and B are nodesNodes are minimum amplitude
Antinodes are maximum amplitude points
30Category 1
Quest
ion
What are basic differences between sound waves and electro-magnetic waves?
40Category 1
Answ
er
Sound waves are longitudinal- Travel around 330 m/s (depending on temp)- Can not travel through a vacuum
- E-M waves- Are transverse- Travel at speed of light- Include radiowaves tv- NOT SOUND- Can travel through a vacuum
40Category 1
Quest
ion

travel
50Category 1
Answ
er
• Sound is a transverse wave FALSE
• Sound can travel through a vacuum FALSE
• Sound moves at right angles to the direction
of travel-TRUE

Category 2 questions follow
Quest
ion
Which is not correct?a. Sparklers don’t burn because there is very few
molecules to transfer the energyb. The energy in the sparkler molecules is very highc. The higher the temperature of the object, the
shorter the wavelengthd. Sparklers burn because there is a high
concentration of heat in the molecules and they should be outlawed.
10Category 2
Answ
er
a. Sparklers don’t burn because there is very few molecules to transfer the energy
b. The energy in the sparkler molecules is very highc. The higher the temperature of the object, the
shorter the wavelengthd. Sparklers burn because there is a high
concentration of heat in the molecules and they should be outlawed. WRONG

Quest
ion
What is a Chinook Wind?
30Category 2
Answ
er
Category 2 answer for 30 points
30Category 2
Quest
ion
If water is in a phase change (boiling), what happens to the temperature of that water if the temperature is turned up?
40Category 2
Answ
er
Nothing would happen to the temperature of the water. Temperature increase would cause a change
in phase, but as long as it is liquid water (not steam), the temp. does not change.
40Category 2
Quest
ion
This is an example of a ______________
50Category 2
Answ
er
Thermal Inversion
50Category 2

Quest
ion
A wiggle in time is a _________________a. Waveb. Vibrationc. Transverse wave
20Category 3
Answ
er
vibration
20Category 3
Quest
ion
Why does a child standing in a swing make the swing have a shorter swing? (What 2 factors will affect the time of the swing?)
30Category 3
Answ
er
It has a shortened length of the pendulum.(length & acceleration of gravity for the location)
30Category 3
Quest
ion
Which of the following is not correctly matched?a. Transverse waves move at right angles to the
direction of wave travelb. Longitudinal wave moves along the direction of
wave travelc. Sound Waves- Longitudinal wavesd. Radio waves- sound waves
40Category 3
Answ
er
Radio waves are electromagnetic waves, not Sound waves
40Category 3

20Category 4
Answ
er
Remains the same
20Category 4
Quest
ion
A balloon will a. displace a volume of air equal to the weight of air
the balloon displacesb. Will rise until the air pressure inside the balloon
equals the pressure outsidec. Both above are correctd. None are correct
30Category 4
Answ
er
C
Both a and b
30Category 4
Quest
ion
When an object is partly or wholly immersed in a liquid, it is buoyed up by ______________
40Category 4
Answ
er
by a force equal to the weight of liquid displaced.
40Category 4
Quest
ion
Where will the swimmer have least buoyancy?a. On the surface of the waterb. At mid-level in the waterc. At the bottom
50Category 4
Answ
er
On the surfaceThe totally submerged, anywhere would

Quest
ion
Which of these are NOT correcta. Facts can changeb. A sack of large potatoes will produce more peelings
