Name:
What is Newton's Second Law?
An object will remain at rest or at constant velocity unless acted upon by a resultant force.
If object A exerts a force on object B then Object B will exert a force on object A
Resultant Force is equal to the product of mass and acceleration
An object experiences a 5N force to the right and a 2N force to the left. The resultant force on the object is...
5N
7N
2N
3N
Which of the below is an equation for acceleration?
Distance/time
Change in velocity/time
Force x Mass
Time/velocity
What is meant by the phrase 'Energy is conserved'?
Total Energy before = Total Energy After
Energy can be created or destroyed
Energy can only be transfered from one object to another
Which of the below is not a type of energy?
Kinetic
Chemical Potential
Friction
Gravitational Potential
The Unit of power is...
Watts
Joules
Newtons
Volts
Which of the following is not an example of a transverse wave
Light
Sound
Water
Mexican
What happens to light when it travels from air to glass
It bends away from the normal
It slows down
It totally internally reflects
None of the above
A higher refractive index means...
The light travels slower in that medium
The light will always reflect off that medium
The medium is thicker
Which statement below is false
An isotpope has a different number of neutrons
An ion has an imbalance between the number of neutrons and protons
The nucleus contains most of the mass of the atom
A neucleus being unstable can lead to radioactive decay
Which is most ionising?
Alpha
Beta
Gamma
Which of the following is false
Half-life is the time taken for half the nuclei to decay
A short half life means that the activity will reduce very quickly
Half life is different for different radioactive sources
Half-life changes as the number of radioactive nuclei reduces.
Which of the below is not evidence for the big bang
CMB
Red-Shift
Blue-Shift
The M in CMB stands for...
Mercury
Microwave
Mass
More distant galaxies tend to be moving away from us at a greater rate
True
False
The unit of pressure is...
Pascals
Newtons/metre^2
Joules/metre^3
All of the above
None of the above
Pressure decreases as you descend into a body of water
True
False
What causes air pressure?
EM radiation
Collisions with gas particles
Gravity
