A reference point is an object or location from which the movement of another object is determined. Which of the following could be a reference point? A. I and III only B. I, III, and IV only C. I, II, III, and IV D. III only I. a house II. a moving car III. a point on a map IV. a person 2. Density is a measurable property of matter. How can the density of a substance be determined? Measure the length, width, and height of the substance, then multiply these values A. together. B. Measure the length and weight of the substance, then multiply the length by the weight. C. Measure the mass and volume of the substance, then divide the volume by the mass. D. Measure the mass and volume of the substance, then divide the mass by the volume. 3. An object travels a given distance at a speed of 5 m/s. If the object travels the same distance at a higher speed, how will the faster speed affect the time it takes the object to travel the distance? A. It will take more time to travel the distance. B. It will take less time to travel the distance. C. The time will not be affected. D. The time will remain constant.

2 4. In all states of matter, atoms of all elements A. are the same size. B. bind together the same way. C. are in constant motion. D. all of these 5. Matter is made up of tiny particles that are too small to be seen with the naked eye. These tiny particles are known as. A. forces B. cells C. gases D. atoms 6. Barry knocks a baseball into the air with his bat. Shortly after the ball is hit, it is traveling at 25 m/s to the east and parallel to the ground. After two seconds, the ball is 50 meters to the east of Barry. Which of the following best describes the ball's direction of motion? A. 25 m/s A. east B. 2 s C. 50 m

7. An equation is a mathematical statement that describes a relationship between variables. Variables are letters or symbols that represent specific quantities.

3 7. An equation is a mathematical statement that describes a relationship between variables. Variables are letters or symbols that represent specific quantities. Equations can be used to describe how the quantity of something changes over time. For example, the speed of an object can be calculated using the following equation: In this equation, s represents the speed of the object, d represents the distance that the object traveled, and t represents the time it took the object to travel the distance. Now, assume that two cars are traveling on a highway. Car 1 travels 120 miles in 2 hours. If Car 2 travels 80 miles in the same amount of time, which car, according to the formula, is traveling at a faster speed? A. Car 1 and car 2 are standing still. B. Car 1 and car 2 are traveling at the same speed. C. Car 2 is traveling at a faster speed than car 1. D. Car 1 is traveling at a faster speed than car Using a balance, the coin and the glass marble shown below are found to have the same mass. If the volume of the coin and the marble are measured one at a time using water displacement in a graduated cylinder, which object will have the greater volume and why? A. They will be the same, because the masses are the same. B. The penny, because metal is more dense than glass. C. The marble, because it takes up more space. D. The penny, because it takes up more space.

4 9. Each of the cups in the picture below has the same amount of water in it. Each of the three balls is made of the same kind of metal. What will happen to the level of water in the cups if the three metal balls are each placed in their corresponding cups? A. The water in cup Z will rise the most. B. The water in each cup will rise by the same amount. C. The water in cup X will rise the most. D. The water in cup Y will rise the most. 10. The motion of an object can be described by its A. speed. B. position. C. direction. D. all of these 11. Randy is sledding down a hill away from his sister, Leslie, who is standing at the top of the hill. At first, Randy moves at a constant speed down a nearly flat part of the hill. Then, suddenly,

5 the hill becomes much steeper, and Randy almost immediately starts moving at a much faster speed. Which graph shows Randy's position as he moves away from his sister? W. X. A. X B. Z C. W D. Y Y. Z. 12. The graph below shows how the position of an object changes over time.

6 Assuming that the motion of the object remains the same, where will the object be positioned when it has traveled for a total of 5 s? A. 6 m B. 5 m C. 4 m D. 1 m 13. It is 10:00 in the morning, and Wendy is late for school. She is currently running north at a speed of 5 meters per second and is 2 miles south of her school. Which of the following best describes Wendy's current position? A. running at a speed of 5 meters per second B. running north C. 10:00 in the morning D. 2 miles south of her school
