the random movement of molecules and the attractive forces between them when they're together
Question 2
Question
What is chemical energy
Answer
energy can be released when the arrangement of atoms is altered
energy can be released by reorganising the protons and neutrons in an atoms nucleus
where an object is at a high level in the earth's gravitational field
Question 3

Answer
the ability to do work
the work done by a force
work done per unit time
Question 4

Answer
chemical
electrical potential
electromagnetic
gravitational potential
nuclear
internal
sound
kinetic
Question 5
Question
What is a kinetic type of energy?
Answer
where movement is taking place
regions where electric, magnetic, gravitational or nuclear forces exist
Question 6
Question
The conservation of energy is: In a closed system, energy may be converted form one form into another but never created or destroyed
Answer
True
False
Question 7
Question
What is the equation for kinetic energy?
Answer
1/2mv^2
mgh
mgv
1/2mv
Question 8
Question

Answer
Joules
Newtons/metre
Joule metre/second
Question 9
Question
What is work done?
Answer
focre / distance
force x distance moved in the direction of force
force x energy
energy x distance
force / time
Question 10
Question
Work done is the energy transferred when a force is mode through a distance
Answer
True
False
Question 11
Question
What is power and what is it measured in?
Answer
work done/ time taken
watts
joules
work done x time
Question 12
Question
One watt is the power generated when one joule of energy is transferred to an object.
Answer
True
False
Question 13
Question
What is weight?
Answer
The gravitational force on an object
mass x gravity
the mass of an object
Question 14
Question
What is terminal velocity?
Answer
the velocity at which an objects drag equals its acceleration force
for free fall - when weight = drag
the fastest possible velocity
when you're accelerating
Question 15
Question
At terminal velocity:
Answer
kinetic energy is constant
the GPE is transferred to the surrounding air as heat
The loss in KE is the work done by the drag force
Question 16
Question
The larger the surface area of an object, the smaller the terminal velocity because there is more drag so you don't accelerate as much before drag = weight.
Answer
True
False
Question 17
Question
The larger the mass, the smaller the terminal velocity
Answer
True
False
Question 18
Question
What is stopping distance?
Answer
The time taken for a car to stop
The total instance a car travels from the moment the driver sees a hazard
The time taken from the moment the driver has pressed the break
Question 19
Question
Factors that increase thinking distance:
Answer
under the influence of alcohol or other drugs
tiredness
distractions
high speed
weather
intelligence
Question 20
Question
The work done to stop an object will be equal to the change in kinetic energy of the object
Answer
True
False
Question 21
Question
Factors that increase breaking distance
Answer
high speed
mass of vehicle
road conditions
car conditions
driver distractions
alcohol/drugs
tiredness
Question 22
Question
If speed of a car doubles:
Answer
kinetic energy quadruples
work done quadruples
breaking distance quadruples
Question 23
Question
An air bag works by:
deflated nylon bag attached to a crash sensor which measures acceleration and detects when you are breaking very sharply. It releases two chemicals which react rapidly and produce nitrogen gas which inflates the airbag.
Answer
True
False
Question 24
Question
What is trilateration?
Answer
using four satellites together to determine the position of something
