A body of mass 2 kg is dropped from a height of 1m. Its kinetic energy as it touches the ground is _______
- A.
4.33 J
- B.
15.7 J
- C.
15.7 N
- D.
19.6 J
- E.
19.6 N
Correct Answer
D. 19.6 JExplanation
When an object is dropped from a height, it gains potential energy due to its position. As the object falls, this potential energy is converted into kinetic energy. The formula to calculate the kinetic energy of an object is KE = 1/2 * mass * velocity^2. In this case, the mass of the object is given as 2 kg. Since the object is dropped, its initial velocity is 0 m/s. When the object touches the ground, its velocity will be the maximum, which can be calculated using the equation v^2 = u^2 + 2as, where u is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration due to gravity (9.8 m/s^2), and s is the distance fallen (1 m). Solving for v, we get v = √(0^2 + 2 * 9.8 * 1) = √19.6 ≈ 4.43 m/s. Plugging these values into the kinetic energy formula, we get KE = 1/2 * 2 kg * (4.43 m/s)^2 = 19.6 J. Therefore, the correct answer is 19.6 J.Rate this question:

Two objects of masses 1 x 10-3 kg and 4 x 10-3 kg have equal momentum. What is the ratio of their kinetic energies?
- A.
4:1
- B.
2:1
- C.
16:1
- D.
8:1
- E.
1:1
Correct Answer
A. 4:1Explanation
The ratio of the kinetic energies of two objects is equal to the ratio of their masses. In this case, the mass of the first object is 1 x 10-3 kg and the mass of the second object is 4 x 10-3 kg. Therefore, the ratio of their masses is 1:4. Since the ratio of kinetic energies is the same as the ratio of masses, the ratio of their kinetic energies is also 1:4, which can be simplified to 4:1.Rate this question:

A 40 newton object is released from a height of 10 m. Just before it hits the ground, its kinetic energy, in joules is _______
- A.
4000
- B.
3920
- C.
2800
- D.
400
- E.
None of the above
Correct Answer
D. 400Explanation
The kinetic energy of an object can be calculated using the formula KE = 1/2 * m * v^2, where m is the mass of the object and v is its velocity. In this case, the mass of the object is not given, but since the object is released from a height, we can assume it is falling freely and neglect any air resistance. Therefore, at the moment just before it hits the ground, the object will have converted all of its potential energy into kinetic energy. The potential energy can be calculated using the formula PE = m * g * h, where g is the acceleration due to gravity and h is the height. Since the potential energy is converted into kinetic energy, we can equate the two equations: PE = KE. Solving for KE, we get KE = m * g * h. Plugging in the given values, KE = 40 * 9.8 * 10 = 3920 J. Therefore, the correct answer is 3920 J.Rate this question:

If the speed of an object is doubled then its kinetic energy is _______
- A.
Doubled
- B.
Quadrupled
- C.
Halved
- D.
Tripled
Correct Answer
B. QuadrupledExplanation
When the speed of an object is doubled, its kinetic energy increases by a factor of four, which means it is quadrupled. This is because kinetic energy is directly proportional to the square of the velocity. Therefore, if the velocity is doubled, the kinetic energy will be four times greater than before.Rate this question:

When the man jumps to a height of 1 m, his potential energy increases. Potential energy is given by the formula PE = mgh, where m is the mass (50 kg), g is the acceleration due to gravity (10 m/s^2), and h is the height (1 m). Plugging in the values, we get PE = 50 kg * 10 m/s^2 * 1 m = 500 J. Therefore, the correct answer is 500 J.Rate this question:

A 1 kg mass has a kinetic energy of 1 joule when its speed is
- A.
0.45 m/s
- B.
1 m/s
- C.
1.4 m/s
- D.
4.4 m/s
Correct Answer
C. 1.4 m/sExplanation
The kinetic energy of an object is given by the equation KE = (1/2)mv^2, where m is the mass of the object and v is its velocity. In this case, the mass is given as 1 kg and the kinetic energy is given as 1 joule. By rearranging the equation, we can solve for v: v = sqrt(2KE/m). Plugging in the values, we find that v = sqrt(2*1/1) = sqrt(2) ≈ 1.4 m/s. Therefore, the speed of the 1 kg mass is 1.4 m/s when it has a kinetic energy of 1 joule.Rate this question:

If air resistance is negligible, the sum total of potential and kinetic energies of a freely falling body _______
- A.
Increases
- B.
Decreases
- C.
Becomes zero
- D.
Remains the same
Correct Answer
D. Remains the sameExplanation
When air resistance is negligible, the only force acting on a freely falling body is gravity. As the body falls, it converts its potential energy (due to its height) into kinetic energy (due to its motion). According to the law of conservation of energy, the total mechanical energy (sum of potential and kinetic energies) remains constant in the absence of external forces. Therefore, the sum total of potential and kinetic energies of a freely falling body remains the same.Rate this question:

An object of mass 1 kg has potential energy of 1 joule relative to the ground when it is at a height of _______.
- A.
0.102 m
- B.
1 m
- C.
9.8 m
- D.
32 m
Correct Answer
A. 0.102 mExplanation
The potential energy of an object is given by the formula PE = mgh, where m is the mass of the object, g is the acceleration due to gravity, and h is the height of the object. In this case, the mass is 1 kg and the potential energy is 1 joule. We can rearrange the formula to solve for h: h = PE/(mg). Plugging in the values, we get h = 1/(1*9.8) = 0.102 m. Therefore, the object has a potential energy of 1 joule relative to the ground when it is at a height of 0.102 m.Rate this question:

- A.
Greater than 3 joules
- B.
Less than 3 joules
- C.
No work was done
- D.
It depends on the sine function of the angle
Correct Answer
A. Greater than 3 joulesExplanation
The work done by the girl can be calculated using the formula: work = force * distance * cos(angle). In this case, the force is 3 N, the distance is 4 m, and the angle is 55°. By plugging these values into the formula, we can calculate the work done. Since the angle is less than 90°, the cosine of the angle is positive, which means that the work done will be greater than 3 joules.Rate this question:

Two forces are acting on a stationary book on a table
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
The statement is true because if a book is stationary on a table, it means that the forces acting on it are balanced. According to Newton's first law of motion, an object at rest will remain at rest unless acted upon by an external force. Therefore, if the book is not moving, it implies that the forces acting on it, such as the gravitational force pulling it downwards and the normal force exerted by the table upwards, are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction, resulting in a state of equilibrium.Rate this question:

If you push against the wall, the wall pushes the same force against you. This is an application of the 2nd law.
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
B. FalseExplanation
This statement is incorrect because it does not accurately represent Newton's 2nd law of motion. According to the 2nd law, when an object exerts a force on another object, the second object exerts an equal and opposite force on the first object. In the given statement, it is suggested that the wall pushes the same force back on the person pushing against it, which is not true. The wall only exerts a normal force on the person, not an equal and opposite force.Rate this question:
