Compare the average kinetic energies of the particles in each sample. Which sample has the higher temperature?
[ "sample A", "neither; the samples have the same temperature", "sample B" ]
A
The particles in both samples have the same average speed, but each particle in sample A has more mass than each particle in sample B. So, the particles in sample A have a higher average kinetic energy than the particles in sample B. Because the particles in sample A have the higher average kinetic energy, sample A must have the higher temperature.

Look at the picture of the broad-tailed hummingbird. The broad-tailed hummingbird has a long, thin beak. Its beak is adapted to get nectar out of long flowers. The broad-tailed hummingbird's long, thin beak can reach deep into the flowers. Now look at each bird. Figure out which bird has a similar adaptation. The bronzy sunbird has a long, thin beak. Its beak is adapted to get nectar out of long flowers. The bufflehead has a wide, flat beak. Its beak is not adapted to get nectar out of long flowers. The bufflehead uses its beak to eat plants and invertebrates that live in mud.

Think about the magnetic force between the magnets in each pair. Which of the following statements is true?
[ "The strength of the magnetic force is the same in both pairs.", "The magnetic force is stronger in Pair 2.", "The magnetic force is stronger in Pair 1." ]

Granger went to the grocery store. He saw that the Spam is $3 per can, the peanut butter is $5 per jar, and the bread is $2 per loaf. If he bought 12 cans of spam, 3 jars of peanut butter, and 4 loaves of bread, how much is the total amount he paid?

The 12 cans of Spam costs $3 x 12 = $<<3*12=36>>36. The total amount of 3 jars of peanut butter is $5 x 3 = $<<5*3=15>>15. And the total amount of the 4 loaves of bread is $2 x 4 = $<<2*4=8>>8. Therefore the total amount he will have to pay is $36 + $15 + $8 = $<<36+15+8=59>>59. #### 59

Lefty scores 20 points in a game and his teammate Righty scores half as many as Lefty does. Their other teammate scores 6 times as much as Righty does. What are the average points scored per player on the team?
null
30
First, we need to determine how many points Righty scored. To do this we perform 20/2=<<20/2=10>>10 points since Righty scored half as many as Lefty did. Then, to find the other teammate's points we perform 10*6=<<10*6=60>>60 points scored, as they scored 6 times as many as Righty did. We then add all three teammates' points together, performing 20+10+60=<<20+10+60=90>>90 points as the first step towards finding the average. We then divide this sum by the total number of players we're averaging, getting 90/3=<<90/3=30>>30 points per player #### 30

[ "The magnitude of the magnetic force is the same in both pairs.", "The magnitude of the magnetic force is greater in Pair 1.", "The magnitude of the magnetic force is greater in Pair 2." ]
C
The magnets in Pair 2 attract. The magnets in Pair 1 repel. But whether the magnets attract or repel affects only the direction of the magnetic force. It does not affect the magnitude of the magnetic force. Magnet sizes affect the magnitude of the magnetic force. Imagine magnets that are the same shape and made of the same material. The larger the magnets, the greater the magnitude of the magnetic force between them. Magnet A is the same size in both pairs. But Magnet B is larger in Pair 2 than in Pair 1. So, the magnitude of the magnetic force is greater in Pair 2 than in Pair 1.

What do these two changes have in common? cellular respiration chemicals in a battery reacting to power a flashlight
[ "Both are caused by heating.", "Both are only physical changes.", "Both are chemical changes.", "Both are caused by cooling." ]
C
Step 1: Think about each change. Cellular respiration is a chemical change. Cells use oxygen to break down sugar. Breaking the chemical bonds in sugar molecules releases energy that a cell can use. The atoms from the broken molecules then combine to form different molecules such as carbon dioxide and water. These molecules are different types of matter than sugar and oxygen. Chemicals in a battery reacting to power a flashlight is a chemical change. When the flashlight is turned on, the chemicals in the battery react with each other to form new chemicals. This creates electricity, which powers the lightbulb. Step 2: Look at each answer choice. Both are only physical changes. Both changes are chemical changes. They are not physical changes. Both are chemical changes. Both changes are chemical changes. The type of matter before and after each change is different. Both are caused by heating. Neither change is caused by heating. Both are caused by cooling. Neither change is caused by cooling.

The total average age of three friends is 40. Jared is ten years older than Hakimi, and Molly's age is 30. How old is Hakimi?
null
40
The total age for the three friends is 40*3 = <<40*3=120>>120 If Molly's age is 30, then Jared and Hakimi have a total age of 120-30 = 90. Let's say the age of Hakimi is x. Since Jared is 10 years older than Hakimi, Jared is x+10 years old. Jared and Hakimi's total age is x+(x+10) = 90 This translates to 2x=90-10 2x=80 Hakimi's age is x=80/2 This gives us x=<<40=40>>40, which is Hamkimi's age. #### 40

Compare the motion of three blue jays. Which blue jay was moving at the lowest speed?
[ "a blue jay that moved 325kilometers east in 10hours", "a blue jay that moved 345kilometers south in 10hours", "a blue jay that moved 315kilometers south in 10hours" ]
C
Look at the distance each blue jay moved and the time it took to move that distance. The direction each blue jay moved does not affect its speed. Notice that each blue jay moved for 10 hours. The blue jay that moved 315 kilometers moved the shortest distance in that time. So, that blue jay must have moved at the lowest speed.

Which animal's feet are also adapted for digging?
[ "eastern mole", "tokay gecko" ]
A
Look at the picture of the European mole. The European mole has long, straight claws. Its feet are adapted for digging. The European mole uses its claws to break up soil and move it out of the way. Now look at each animal. Figure out which animal has a similar adaptation. The eastern mole has long, straight claws. Its feet are adapted for digging. The tokay gecko has wide, sticky toes. Its feet are not adapted for digging. The tokay gecko uses its feet to climb trees and walk on leaves.

Compare the motion of two speedboats. Which speedboat was moving at a higher speed?
[ "a speedboat that moved 180miles in 5hours", "a speedboat that moved 285miles in 5hours" ]
B
Look at the distance each speedboat moved and the time it took to move that distance. One speedboat moved 285 miles in 5 hours. The other speedboat moved 180 miles in 5 hours. Notice that each speedboat spent the same amount of time moving. The speedboat that moved 285 miles moved a farther distance in that time. So, that speedboat must have moved at a higher speed.

Rookie police officers have to buy duty shoes at the full price of $85, but officers who have served at least a year get a 20% discount. Officers who have served at least three years get an additional 25% off the discounted price. How much does an officer who has served at least three years have to pay for shoes?
