Question 1
Question
True or false? Work is done when an object is moved by a force.
Question 2
Question
True or false? Work uses a different SI unit to energy.
Question 3
Question
Into which form of energy does most energy become when work is done to overcome friction?
Question 4
Question
True or false? Gravitational potential energy is energy stored in an object because of its position in the Earth's gravitational field.
Question 5
Question
What is the gravitational potential energy of an object of 0.5kg mass if it is lifted by 3m?
Question 6
Question
What is the power developed of an object which, when lifted, gains 60J in 10s?
Question 7
Question
True or false? Kinetic energy is the energy of an object when it is stationary.
Question 8
Question
Which of these is the correct formula for kinetic energy?
Answer
-
KE = 1/2 * m * v
-
KE = m * v
-
KE = 1/2 * m^2 * v
-
KE = m^2 * v
-
KE = 1/2 * m * v^2
-
KE = m * v^2
Question 9
Question
True or false? A system that stores energy when a vehicle brakes is known as a kinetic energy recovery system.
Question 10
Question
True or false? Momentum is a scalar quantity.
Question 11
Question
Which of these formulae is correct for calculating momentum?
Answer
-
p = m * v
-
p = m * v^2
-
p = m^2 * v
-
p = 2m * v
-
p = m * 2v
Question 12
Question
True or false? In a closed system, the total momentum before an event is equal to the total momentum after the event.
Question 13
Question
Trolley A, 6kg, is travelling in one direction at 4m/s. Trolley B, 7kg, is travelling in the other direction at 3m/s. The two trolleys stick together and move off. What is the velocity of the two trolleys?
Question 14
Question
True or false? In an explosion, the total momentum is zero.
Question 15
Question
True or false? If, in an explosion, two pieces of debris move apart, they will not move with equal and opposite momentum.
Question 16
Question
True or false? A front-end collision increases the momentum of the car.
Question 17
Question
What does a g-force of 2g mean?
Answer
-
The force applied on an object is half its weight
-
The force applied on an object is twice the gravitational field strength
-
The force applied on an object is twice its weight
Question 18
Question
True or false? If the impact time is increased, the impact force will be increased.
Question 19
Question
Which two of these features of car safety are compulsory by UK law?
Question 20
Question
True or false? Child car seats are mandatory in the UK for children younger than 12 years old or shorter than 1.35m.
