Second Semester Test Practice

1. Second Semester Test Practice For each of the following questions, record your answer on your paper before advancing to the next slide and viewing the correct answer.

2. Procedure Construct 4 identical stream tables, using the same amount of sand in each table. Angle each stream table as shown to the right Pour one liter of water from the same height on to each stream table. Collect water and sand eroded from the table into the bucket. Dry the eroded sand. Measure the mass of the sand eroded from each table. Record results. • Students performed this experiment to test the effects of the slope of the stream table on the amount of sand eroded. • What is the manipulated (independent) variable in this experiment? • slope of the tables • amount of sand eroded • volume of water collected in bucket • volume of water poured on the tables 1

16. What conclusion about the large outer planets is supported by the information in the table? As the diameter of the planet increases, the number of moons increases. As the distance from the sun increases, the period of revolution increases As the diameter of the planet increases, the period of rotation decreases. As the distance from the sun increases, the period of rotation decreases. 8

17. And the answer is… B. As the distance from the sun increases, the period of revolution increases

18. Which planet in the above data table has the longest year? • Jupiter • Saturn • Uranus • Neptune 9

19. And the answer is… D. Neptune

20. As a research assignment for a science class, a student has been asked to determine how many times Io revolves around Jupiter in one Jupiter year. To help answer this question, he has gathered the following facts from the library: • The same side of Io always faces Jupiter. • Io’s period of rotation on its axis is 1.8 Earth days. • One Jupiter year is equal to 12 Earth years. • By using this information and by performing a few calculations, the student should be able to complete the assignment. What can you conclude about Io’s period of revolution around Jupiter? It is less than its period of rotation. It is equal to its period of rotation on its axis. It is greater than its period of rotation on its axis. It is equal to one Jupiter year. 10

21. And the answer is… B. It is equal to its period of rotation on its axis.
