Work, Energy, and Power in Physics Quiz

#1

Which of the following is a unit of work?

Joule
Explanation

Joule is the SI unit of work.

#2

Which of the following statements is true about kinetic energy?

It depends on an object's speed.
Explanation

Kinetic energy is dependent on an object's speed.

#3

Which of the following is a unit of power equivalent to one joule per second?

Watt
Explanation

The Watt is the unit of power, defined as one joule per second.

#4

Which type of energy is associated with the motion of an object?

Kinetic energy
Explanation

Kinetic energy is associated with the motion of an object.

#5

What is the unit of work and energy equivalent to one newton meter?

Joule
Explanation

The unit of work and energy equivalent to one newton meter is the Joule.

#6

Which law of thermodynamics states that energy cannot be created or destroyed?

First Law
Explanation

The First Law of Thermodynamics states that energy is conserved; it cannot be created or destroyed.

#7

What is the SI unit of power?

Watt
Explanation

The SI unit of power is the Watt.

#8

Which of the following is a conservative force?

Gravity
Explanation

Gravity is a conservative force, as the work done by gravity is independent of the path taken.

#9

Which of the following equations represents the work-energy theorem?

W = ΔKE
Explanation

The work-energy theorem is represented by the equation W = ΔKE, where W is work done and ΔKE is the change in kinetic energy.

#10

Which of the following statements is true about the work done by a constant force?

Work done can be positive or negative depending on the direction of the force
Explanation

The work done by a constant force can be positive or negative based on the direction of the force relative to the displacement.

#11

A force of 50 N is applied to an object to move it 10 meters. How much work is done?

500 J
Explanation

Work done is calculated as force times distance: 50 N * 10 m = 500 J.

#12

What is the potential energy of a 2 kg mass raised to a height of 5 meters? (g = 9.8 m/s²)

98 J
Explanation

Potential energy is calculated as mgh, where m is mass, g is gravitational acceleration, and h is height: 2 kg * 9.8 m/s² * 5 m = 98 J.

#13

What happens to the kinetic energy of a falling object as it approaches terminal velocity?

It remains constant
Explanation

As an object reaches terminal velocity, its acceleration and, consequently, its increase in kinetic energy, approach zero, resulting in a constant kinetic energy.

#14

What is the work done by a force acting perpendicular to the direction of motion?

Zero work
Explanation

When a force is perpendicular to the direction of motion, no work is done.

#15

Which law of thermodynamics states that entropy of a system approaches a constant value as the temperature approaches absolute zero?

Third Law
Explanation

The Third Law of Thermodynamics states that the entropy of a system approaches a constant value as the temperature approaches absolute zero.
