Ryker does not get good grades on standardized tests and does not seem to be making an effort to improve his grades. He is more interested in martial arts and has earned a black belt in this field. In the context of Gardner’s approach, this boy has the _____ type of intelligence. 

According to Vygotsky, which of the following educational strategies should be incorporated in classrooms?

One of the most widely studied types of children’s play today is, in which children engage in the self-regulated creation of a product or a solution.

The _____ is adolescents’ belief that others are as interested in them as they themselves are, often accompanied by attention-getting behavior—attempts to be noticed, visible, and “on stage.”

Using rehearsal, we can keep information in short-term memory for a much longer period. In this context, rehearsal means

Piaget’s preoperational stage is so named because he believed that children in this stage of development

The average distance between the Earth and the sun is referred to as one Astronomical Unit (AU), which is approximately 149,600,000 km – or about 93 million miles. The measure is an average because throughout the year the distance between the Earth and the sun changes. This is because the Earth travels around the sun in an elliptical orbit shaped like an oval rather than a circle. The Astronomical Unit is a relative measure of how close objects are in the solar system. Consider the distance between the Earth and its moon, which is approximately 380,000 km. If we multiply by the ratio of AU to kilometers, we can convert this distance to Astronomical Units.

Mercury is 57,900,000 km from the sun. What is this number in scientific notation?

These questions must be completed before continuing to the second part of the test containing the last two questions. These three questions do not require you to do any hand writing or the use of scratch paper.  Your attention should remain on the screen while answering these questions.  Make sure that these questions are complete before moving on to Part 2.   Question 1 (10 marks) a)  Describe a situation that demonstrates Newton’s second law of motion. b) Describe an action and reaction force involved with pushing a box forward across the ground. c) What is inertia and how is it related to Newton’s first law of motion?   Question 2 (10 marks) a) Describe how you could determine the net force for an object using a free body diagram.  b) For objects that are sliding across the ground (on Earth), how does the force of gravity influence the force of friction that they are experiencing?   Question 3 (10 marks) a) If an object is placed on a ramp and starts to slide down towards the bottom of the ramp, what force(s) determine it’s acceleration? b) Why would increasing the angle of a ramp increase the acceleration that an object that is sliding down the ramp experiences?
