Physics Fundamentals

What is the formula for calculating force?

Define Newton's first law of motion.

• An object will accelerate if no force is applied to it.

• An object will change its direction of motion if no force is acting on it.

• An object will remain at rest or in uniform motion in a straight line unless acted upon by an external force.

• An object will stop moving if no force is present.

Explain the concept of work in the context of physics.

• Work in physics is the product of force and distance, expressed as work = force x distance.

• Work is independent of the force applied.

• Work is only done when an object is in motion.

• Work is the same as power in physics.

What is the SI unit of electric current?

• B

• D

• A

• C

Describe Ohm's Law and its significance in electricity.

• Ohm's Law is significant in electricity as it provides a fundamental relationship between voltage, current, and resistance in electrical circuits. It allows for the calculation of one parameter if the other two are known, making it essential for designing and analyzing circuits.

• Ohm's Law is named after George Ohm, who discovered it in the 19th century.

• Ohm's Law states that current is directly proportional to voltage and inversely proportional to resistance.

• Ohm's Law is only applicable to DC circuits and not AC circuits.

What is the difference between series and parallel circuits?

• Parallel circuits have higher resistance than series circuits.

• In series circuits, components are connected in multiple paths, while in parallel circuits, components are connected in a single path.

• In series circuits, components are connected in a single path, while in parallel circuits, components are connected in multiple paths.

• Series circuits have higher voltage than parallel circuits.

How does a capacitor store energy in an electric field?

• By accumulating opposite charges on its plates, creating an electric field between them.

• By generating sound waves

• By emitting light particles

• By converting heat into electricity

State the relationship between voltage, current, and resistance in a circuit.

• V = I + R

• V = I / R

• V = R / I

• V = I * R

What is the difference between static and kinetic friction?

• Static friction is caused by motion, kinetic friction is caused by lack of motion

• The difference between static and kinetic friction is based on whether the objects are moving relative to each other or not.

• Static friction only occurs on rough surfaces, kinetic friction only occurs on smooth surfaces

• Static friction is stronger than kinetic friction

Explain the concept of power in physics.

• Power in physics is the same as electrical power.

• Power in physics is the rate at which work is done or energy is transferred. It is calculated as the product of force and velocity.

• Power is the ability to control others in physics.

• Power is a measure of speed in physics.
