The law of conservation of energy states that energy cannot be created or destoyed, however, it can be transferred from one form into another.
Question 2
2.
All objects that are at the same height above sea level will have the same gravitaional potential energy.
Question 3
3.
All moving objects have some kinetic energy. The amount of kinetic energy that the object has only depends on its mass and its speed.
Question 4
4.
A battery has stored electrical energy.
Question 5
5.
Joules and calories are both units of energy.
Question 6
6.
From the list below, which are forms of energy given out (emitted) by a battery powered torch? You can choose more than one selection.
Question 7
7.
Calculate the work done against gravity when a 400g mass is lifted a vertical distance of 2.5m, at a steady speed. Take g to equal 10 N/kg.
Question 8
8.
A 2 kg object is dropped from rest at a height of 4m. What will the speed of the object be at the point of impact to the ground? Take g to equal 10 N/kg.
Question 9
9.
A book resting on a table has some energy. Which of the following forms of energy does the book have? You can select more than one option.
Question 10
10.
A person pushes a car for 30m along a flat road at a steady speed of 3 m/s. If the frictional forces acting on the car are equal to 500N, how much work did the person do in pushing the car?
Question 11
11.
If a light bulb has a power rating of 100W, that means that:
Question 12
12.
An electrical heater has a power rating of 1200 W. How much heat energy is given out by the heater in 5 minutes?
Question 13
13.
Ignoring air resistance, if a 1 kg mass and a 5 kg mass are dropped from the same height, both masses will hit the floor ar the same speed.
Question 14
14.
Ignoring air resistance, if a 1 kg mass and a 5 kg mass are dropped from the same height, both masses will have the same kinetic energy as they hit the floor.
Question 15
15.
Ignoring air resistance, if a 1 kg mass and a 5 kg mass are dropped from the same height, both masses will hit the floor at the same time.
