I need to bring the following things; my gym bag, my backpack, and your helmet.

Answer 1

The sentence that uses a semicolon correctly is:

The stadium is located next to the school; it does not take long to walk there.

This sentence correctly uses the semicolon to connect two independent clauses.

Answer 2

an incomplete sentence
an incomplete sentence

a part of a sentence that can stand alone
a part of a sentence that can stand alone

a sentence fragment

Answer 3

The correct description of an independent clause is:

a part of a sentence that can stand alone.

An independent clause contains a subject and a verb and expresses a complete thought.

Answer 4

What is a compound sentence?(1 point)
Responses

a sentence with two independent clauses and no dependent clauses
a sentence with two independent clauses and no dependent clauses

a sentence with one independent clause and one dependent clause
a sentence with one independent clause and one dependent clause

a sentence with two dependent clauses and no independent clauses
a sentence with two dependent clauses and no independent clauses

a sentence with no dependent clauses

Answer 5

The correct definition of a compound sentence is:

a sentence with two independent clauses and no dependent clauses.

A compound sentence connects two independent clauses, typically using a conjunction like "and," "but," or "or."

Answer 8

There is a large log weighing 40 kg and a large ball weighing 5 kg. Which of the following statements is true?
A.
The log will require less force to move than the ball.

B.
It will be harder to move the ball a long distance.

C.
If an equal force is applied to both objects, the ball will move farther.

D.
If an equal force is applied to both objects, the log will move faster.

Answer 9

The correct statement is:

C. If an equal force is applied to both objects, the ball will move farther.

According to Newton's second law of motion (F = ma), if the same force is applied to both objects, the acceleration (a) of each object will depend on its mass (m). Since the ball has a significantly lower mass (5 kg) compared to the log (40 kg), it will have a greater acceleration and thus will move farther than the log when the same force is applied.

Answer 10

A student is demonstrating the transformation of kinetic and potential energy in a system using the pendulum shown below.

At which point in this system does the pendulum bob demonstrate minimum potential energy?

A.
1

B.
2

C.
3

D.
4

Answer 11

In a pendulum system, the pendulum bob has minimum potential energy when it is at its lowest point in the swing.

In this case, the correct answer is:

C. 3

At point 3, the bob is at the lowest point of the swing, where its height is the least, resulting in its potential energy being at a minimum. At this point, kinetic energy is at a maximum.
