Question: [QUESTION]Complete the statement. Assume that the water balloon's mass did not change.
The gravitational potential energy stored between the water balloon and Earth () as the water balloon fell toward Andy.
Solution: Think about how the distance between the water balloon and the center of Earth changed.
Andy was lower than the balcony. As the water balloon fell toward Andy, the distance between the water balloon and the center of Earth decreased. So, the gravitational potential energy stored between the water balloon and Earth decreased as the water balloon fell toward Andy.

Question: [QUESTION]Compare the average kinetic energies of the particles in each sample. Which sample has the higher temperature?
Solution: The particles in both samples have the same average speed, but each particle in sample B has more mass than each particle in sample A. So, the particles in sample B have a higher average kinetic energy than the particles in sample A.
Because the particles in sample B have the higher average kinetic energy, sample B must have the higher temperature.

Question: [QUESTION]Which statement is supported by these pictures?
Solution: The red deer has four legs. Its body is covered in brown fur.
This fossil shows the bones of long legs. So, Megaloceros giganteus had legs.
The fossil does not show any remains of skin or fur. So, you cannot tell from the fossil whether Megaloceros giganteus had brown fur.
Choice "The red deer has brown fur, and so did Megaloceros giganteus." is incorrect.
This statement is not supported by the pictures. You cannot tell the color of Megaloceros giganteus's fur from its fossil.
Choice "The red deer has legs, and so did Megaloceros giganteus." is incorrect.
This statement is supported by the pictures. You can see that the red deer has legs. From Megaloceros giganteus's fossil, you can tell that it also had legs.

Question: [QUESTION]Read the following excerpt from a student essay. How can the writer best improve his or her academic voice?
The Hubble Space Telescope, named for twentieth-century American astronomer Edwin Hubble, is an awesome telescope. NASA began building the telescope in 1977 after Congress gave the go-ahead on the project. In 1990, the space shuttle Discovery crew finally positioned the telescope some 370 miles above Earth. Unfortunately, a defect caused it to produce fuzzy images, but ever since repairs were made by astronauts from the space shuttle Endeavour in 1993, it has taken some pretty great pictures.
Solution: The writer could best improve his or her academic voice by using consistently formal language.
For example, the writer could replace the underlined phrases with more formal ones, such as remarkable, launched into, authorized, and excellent.

Solution: Step 1: Think about each change.
A rock heating up in a campfire is a physical change. The temperature of the rock goes up, but the rock is still made of the same type of matter.
Mixing sand and water is a physical change. Adding water makes the sand wet. But both the sand and water are still made of the same type of matter as before.
Step 2: Look at each answer choice.
Both are only physical changes.
Both changes are physical changes. No new matter is created.
Both are chemical changes.
Both changes are physical changes. They are not chemical changes.
Both are caused by heating.
A rock heating up in a campfire is caused by heating. But mixing sand and water is not.
Both are caused by cooling.
