Student 1: The period of a pendulum depends on two factors: the mass of the pendulum's bob (the object swinging at the end of the pendulum) and the length of the pendulum. The height at which the pendulum is originally dropped does not affect the period T.

Student 2: The period of a pendulum T only depends on the length of the pendulum. Varying the mass and the height at which the pendulum is originally dropped does not affect how long the pendulum takes to swing across.

The two students ran a series of trials to measure the period of a simple pendulum using varying weights and lengths. The students did not measure height as a factor. The results of the trials can be seen in the table below:

Q. During an earthquake, several chandeliers in a mansion begin to swing. Some of the chandeliers are quite small while others, such as one found in the dining room, are very large. However, all of the chandeliers hang the same exact distance from the ceiling. What would the two students predict would happen?

a)
More information is necessary to make a prediction.
b)
Both Student 1 and Student 2: Every chandelier would display a different period of swinging
c)
Both Student 1 and Student 2: Every chandelier would have the same exact period of swinging.
d)
Student 1: Every chandelier would display a different period of swinging; Student 2: Every chandelier would have the same exact period of swinging.

What is important here is to recognize the analogy. The chandeliers are essentially pendulums—masses hanging from a certain point which are allowed to swing. The correct answer is the one in which Student 1 predicts variations in period of swinging and Student 2 predicts no variations. This comes down to their fundamental disagreement, which is that Student 1 believes the mass of a pendulum affects the pendulum's period

Before analyzing the data collected, the two students go out into a local playground and use the swing set to test their hypotheses in an approximate manner. Student 1 and Student 2 are almost exactly the same mass, so Student 2 swings wearing his backpack full of books. Both students begin swinging from the same height and swing exactly three times each in exactly twelve seconds. Whose hypothesis has been supported in this brief trial?

(2) In fact, successful businesses often rely on the creativity and talent of graphic artists to create and produce images and text in the form of digital media, print, films, packaging, and signage.2. Mauro’s comment (3) was also applicable to the creation of animated films. (4) Flip-books are a perfect basic example of early animation; each drawing in the book has a slight variation from the preceding drawing. When the pages are flipped in rapid (5) succession; an action scene unfolds over a few seconds. Traditional animated films are based on this same principle, (6) although their production is much more complicated and time-consuming. In traditional film animation, several drawings are meticulously applied to (7) cels. Sheets of clear plastic. (8) As a result, the entire series of cels is photographed in succession, creating a long, moving cartoon story. Layering cels allows objects that remain stationary to reappear so that only the moving parts must be redrawn.3. [1] This old way of creating (9) animated moving films is known as traditional ink-and-paint and has given way to today’s digital ink-and-paint.[2] In the digital ink-and-paint process, the hand drawings are scanned and digitized.[3] (10) The rest of the production of the film takes place through the use of the computer rather than being applied to individual cels.[4] This method has greatlydecreased the (11) amount and length of time that it takes to create a whole film, and has allowed (12) animators, from all over the world, to contribute to a single film’s production.[5] With more advanced technologies, animators can even draw their original pictures on a graphics tablet that enters the data directly into a computer.[6] Once the outline of the drawing is complete, it is rather simple to add color.[7] In addition, it is easier to make changes than it is with traditional ink-and-paint.[8] Digital animation also produces an entirely different look to the finished (13) product, and graphic art has always depended on fresh, new looks to grab viewers’ attention. (14)4.Though some graphic artists resist change, those who delve into this new technological world often find a way to become comfortable with the marriage of art and technology. The bottom line is that working with technology may be the only way to remain in their chosen field.Q. (2)Given that all of the choices are true, which one would provide the most detailed and relevant information at this point in the essay?

Before humans understood that the center of the Earth was made of molten iron, scientific hypotheses pointed to chemical reactions in superficial layers of magma to explain the phenomenon. Through modern geology, humans have a clearer—though hardly complete—understanding of the mechanism of magma flow, (1) and can analyze the vibrations of the earth to warn of (2) recent eruptions.(3)Most volcanoes were being the result of magma flowing 63 out of the surface of the earth and hardening, usually near a subduction zone. As two tectonic plates collide, (4) one of them is forced under the other, and the seabed rock melts to form new, low-density magma.(5) This magma is red-hot and eventually penetrates unstable pockets of the Earth’s surface. Some magma will succeed in reaching the surface either to form a new volcano or (6) adding more mass to an existing one. Not all volcanoes are formed at continental boundaries, however.(7)Hotspot volcanoes form by a different mechanism. One theory, proposed in the 1960s, seeks to explain volcanoes such as those that formed the Hawaiian Islands, which are not at a plate boundary. The probable explanation is a hotspot, which is a fixed point beneath the Earth’s crust where a narrow plume of magma rises into the crust and appears at the surface as a continental volcano or a volcanic island. (8) Chains, of volcanic islands called archipelagos, provide evidence that the hotspot stays in place as the tectonic plate passes over it.Geologic processes are (9) slow, while research must include the study of ancient human accounts of eruptions and layers of rock millions of years old.(10) In general, eruptions seem to occur every several hundred or even thousand years, and many volcanoes seem to be completely dormant, (11) that is unlikely to erupt soon. No one can say for sure that these volcanoes will not erupt again in the future, so scientists (12) take serious the study of every volcano situated where a future eruption could bring significant human loss and environmental damage. Predicting volcanic eruptions is not an exact science, and only within the briefest geological moment can people (13) warn to evacuate. Through studying the earth’s vibrations, physical deformation, and gas emissions, geologists in recent decades have made several excellent predictions ofvolcanic eruption, (14) as if at the Philippines’ Mount Pinatubo in 1991 and Popocatepetl outside Mexico City in 2000.Understanding the mechanisms of the earth’s interior and continuing to study volcanoes will advance the development of reliable early warning systems for dangerous eruptions. Volcanoes are both feared and revered for their beauty and awesome destructive power, (15) but they show that humans have much more to learn about the planet Earth.Q. (7)
