Physics Unit Test Review

What type of forces would cause an object NOT to move?

• Unbalnaced forces

• space forces

• Balanced forces

• non-contact forces

How do planets get their shape?

• Asteroids hitting the outside edges of celestial bodies

• Gravity pulls things towards a center, creating a sphere shape

• the absence of gravity in space does not allow for hard ocrnered objects

• Inertia rolls objects into a sphere shape

When does GRAVITATIONAL POTENTIAL ENERGY increase?

• when kinetic energy increases

• when you are in a vacuum room with no air resistance

• When an object's distance from the ground increases

• When an object is laying still on the ground

What are the two factors that affect gravity?

• Mass and distance

• speed and mass

• direction and temperature

• speed and force

How do contact forces differ from non-contact forces ?

• Contact forces will be able to change an object's direction, non-contact forces can't

• Only contact forces are affected by gravity

• non-contact forces have greater speed than contact forces

• Gravitational and magnetic forces can transmit energy between two objects that are not touching. Contact forces act only on objects that are touching.

What is the law of conservation of energy?

• An object in motion will stay in motion

• For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction

• Energy cannot be created or destroyed but it can be transformed

• the rate of gravitational acceleration is always 9.8 m/s

What is kinetic energy?

• the energy of things in motion

• the energy of things with the potential to be in motion

• Mechanical energy is the same as this

• the force of gravity that pulls you down

Finish this sentence: The more mass a moving object has . . .

• the more kinetic energy it has

• the heavier it is

• the more potential for movement it has

• the more unbalanced forces can affect it

What is mechanical energy?

• The force of inertia and gravity together

• the opposite of potential energy

• the energy gained by unbalanced forces

• the sum of all kinetic energy and all potential energy of an object

How do you calculate SPEED?

• Time divided by distance

• Mass times acceleration

• Distance divided by time

• Subtract the time from the distance
