At night, the demand for electricity supplied by a fission nuclear reactor decreases. How is the fission nuclear reaction controlled to avoid overproduction of electricity?

A
The temperature of the reactor is lowered because high temperature and pressure are needed.
B
The temperature of the reactor is raised because the reaction slows down at higher temperatures.
C
The exposure between the fuel rods and a neutron-absorbing material is increased.
D
The exposure between the fuel rods and a neutron-absorbing material is reduced.

Maria listed four important points about Einstein’s special theory of relativity.1) applies to any object moving more slowly than the speed of light2) applies to objects moving in a straight path3) describes the relationship between time and space4) applies to uniformly moving objects

A
Change the first point to “applies to objects moving almost at the speed of light.”
B
For point 2, include objects moving in a curved path.
C
For point 3, replace the word “space” with the word “motion.”
D
Change the fourth point to “applies to accelerating objects.”

A
using more wire loops
B
using fewer wire loops
C
using a larger current

Wave Y and wave Z are two types of electromagnetic waves traveling through a vacuum. Suppose the frequency of wave Y is about three times greater than the frequency of wave Z.

A
It is the same for each wave because the amount of energy transferred is constant in all types of electromagnetic waves.
B
Wave Y transfers about one-third the amount of energy as wave Z because energy and frequency have an inverse relationship.
C
Wave Y transfers about three times the amount of energy as wave Z because energy and frequency have a direct relationship.
D
It is zero for each wave because when waves travel through a vacuum, they do not transfer energy.

B
The string vibrates the surrounding air, which produces a longitudinal wave.
C
The string produces a longitudinal wave that travels without a medium.
D
The string produces a transverse wave that travels without a medium.

A pebble is dropped in a pond.

Question illustration
A
transverse, because the water molecules move up and down, which is parallel to the motion of the wave
B
transverse, because the water molecules move up and down, which is perpendicular to the motion of the wave
C
longitudinal, because the water molecules move up and down, which is parallel to the motion of the wave
D
longitudinal, because the water molecules move up and down, which is perpendicular to the motion of the wave

Two bar magnets are labeled A and B. The ends of each magnet are numbered 1 or 2, but the poles are not labeled. When A1 is brought near B1, the bars repel.

A
A1 is the north pole of a magnet, and B1 is the south pole of a magnet.
B
A1 is the north pole of a magnet, and B1 is the north pole of a magnet.
C
A1 and B1 are opposite poles, but there is not enough information to tell which ones.
D
A1 and B1 are like poles, but there is not enough information to tell whether they are north poles or south poles.
