The law of conservation of energy states that energy cannot be created or destoyed, however, it can be transferred from one form into another.

1

All objects that are at the same height above sea level will have the same gravitaional potential energy.

1

All moving objects have some kinetic energy. The amount of kinetic energy that the object has only depends on its mass and its speed.

1

A battery has stored electrical energy.

1

Joules and calories are both units of energy.

From the list below, which are forms of energy given out (emitted) by a battery powered torch? You can choose more than one selection.

1

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.

2

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.

2

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.

1

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?

1

If a light bulb has a power rating of 100W, that means that:

1

An electrical heater has a power rating of 1200 W. How much heat energy is given out by the heater in 5 minutes?

1

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.

1

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.

1

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.
