- Q1What is Newton's First Law of Motion?The acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the force applied to itFor every action, there is an equal and opposite reactionAn object at rest will remain at rest and an object in motion will remain in motion with a constant velocity unless acted upon by a net external force.Force equals mass times acceleration30s
- Q2What is the formula for work?Work = force / distanceWork = force x distanceWork = force + distanceWork = force - distance30s
- Q3What is the SI unit for energy?JouleVoltAmpereWatt30s
- Q4What is the difference between kinetic and potential energy?Kinetic is energy from the sun, potential is from the moon.Kinetic is energy in motion, potential is stored energy.Kinetic is stored energy, potential is energy in motion.Kinetic is heat energy, potential is electrical energy.30s
- Q5What is the Law of Conservation of Energy?Energy can only be transferred, not transformed.Energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transferred or transformed.Energy can be created or destroyed, and can be transformed into matter.Energy can only be transformed, not transferred.30s
- Q6What is the difference between series and parallel circuits?Series circuits have multiple paths, while parallel circuits have a single path.Series circuits and parallel circuits are the same thing.Series circuits have no path for current to flow, while parallel circuits have a single path.Series circuits have a single path for current to flow, while parallel circuits have multiple paths.30s
- Q7Which of these is not a type of electromagnetic wave?AcousticX-RayMicrowaveRadio30s
- Q8Which of the following is NOT a type of energy?Potential energyKinetic energyThermal energyMolecule energy30s
- Q9What is the formula for velocity?Velocity = Distance / TimeVelocity = Work / TimeVelocity = Power x TimeVelocity = Time / Distance30s
- Q10What is the force required to keep an object moving at a constant velocity?InertiaMagnetic forceGravityFrictional force30s
- Q11What is the formula for work?Work = Force x DistanceWork = Force / DistanceWork = Mass x GravityWork = Distance / Time30s
- Q12What happens to the potential energy of an object as it moves higher above the ground?Remains constantBecomes negativeDecreasesIncreases30s
- Q13What is the formula for power?Power = Work x TimePower = Force x DistancePower = Work / TimePower = Energy x Time30s
- Q14Which of the following is NOT a type of wave?Mechanical waveSound waveParticle waveElectromagnetic wave30s
- Q15Which of the following is NOT an example of potential energy?A raised weightA stretched rubber bandA compressed springA rolling ball30s
