Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 12.140 Integrated Physics Systems Reasoning skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

A school designs an earthquake-warning model using ground-motion sensors, power supplies, radio alerts, and a rule that estimates arrival time from wave speeds. Which explanation best represents integrated systems reasoning?

AA single formula for speed is sufficient because sensors, communication, and uncertainty do not affect a warning system.

BThe alert can be sent before any measurement because energy conservation does not apply to information systems.

CEarthquake warnings depend only on gravity and do not involve waves, circuits, or engineering constraints.

DThe model must connect mechanical wave speeds, sensor energy conversion, circuits and communication waves, uncertainty in data, and engineering trade-offs such as power and false alarms.

Solution & Explanation:An integrated model links physical waves, electronic sensing, communication, data interpretation, and design constraints. Systems reasoning checks how each part affects the reliability of the whole system.

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

A particle detector image shows curved tracks in a magnetic field and a calorimeter block where a shower of particles stops. Which explanation best integrates fields, momentum, and energy measurement?

ACurved tracks show particles are neutral because only neutral particles respond to magnetic fields.

BThe calorimeter measures energy by preventing any energy transfer to matter.

CTrack curvature reveals charge sign and momentum in the magnetic field, while the calorimeter measures energy deposited as particles interact and stop.

DMomentum can be found from track brightness alone, and magnetic fields are unnecessary.

Solution & Explanation:Modern detectors use multiple physics principles. Magnetic bending gives momentum and charge information, and calorimeters use interactions that convert particle energy into measurable signals.

Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery

An exoplanet data display shows a star's brightness dipping periodically and its spectral lines shifting back and forth. Which explanation best connects waves, gravity, and orbital motion?

AThe dips and shifts prove the planet emits all the star's light during each orbit.

BThe brightness dips suggest transits that block some starlight, while periodic spectral shifts indicate the star's motion caused by gravitational interaction with an orbiting planet.

CThe spectral shifts are caused by changing sound speed in space near the star.

DGravity can change the planet's motion but cannot affect the star's motion at all.

Solution & Explanation:Transit and Doppler methods combine wave measurements with gravitational two-body motion. The planet and star both orbit their common center of mass.
