30 Students went on a field trip to a glass blowing factory. They went to observe everyday examples of heat transfer. The glass blower used a heavy glove to insulate his hand as he handled the hot glass. The glass blower told the class that he could feel some of the heat through the glove. This transfer of heat occurred because-

F the glass being shaped expanded quickly

G heat moved through the glove by conduction

H the radiant energy produced was not contained

J heat was carried by convection currents

Density Column

32 A density column containing various liquids and solids is shown above. The numbers represent the density of the substances in g/cm3. What is a valid conclusion that can be made based on information given in the drawing?

F Objects that float in syrup should also float in water.

G Solids with a density greater than 1 g/cm3 will float in the liquids in which they are placed.

H Steel is the densest object that has been made by man.

J Objects with a density greater than 1 g/cm3 are expected to sink when placed in water.

Parallel Circuit

34 What is one advantage that parallel circuits have over series circuits?

F Parallel circuits have paths that never cross which reduces the chance of an electrical short occurring

G Parallel circuits produce equal electrical activity for a much lower cost than does a series circuit.

H Parallel circuits allow for the flow of electricity both in an open and closed path, while a series circuit only works with a closed path.

J Parallel circuits have multiple paths for electricity to follow so the current can continue even if one element within the circuit fails.
