Physics Quiz

What is displacement in terms of motion?

• The rate of change of velocity over time

• The change of direction on an object in motion

• The total distance an object travels

• The speed of an object in a specific direction

What is acceleration

• Acceleration is the rate of change of distance with respect to speed.
• Acceleration is the rate of change of time with respect to velocity.
• Acceleration is the rate of velocity with respect to time.

• Acceleration is the rate of change of speed with respect to distance.

How are velocity, acceleration, and displacement related?

• They are unrelated terms in physics

• They all measure the kinetic energy of an object

• They are all measurements of the motion and momentum of an object

• They describe different types of potential energy

What is velocity

• Velocity is the force exerted by an object.
• Velocity is the speed of an object in motion.
• Velocity is the distance traveled by an object in a given time period.
• Velocity is the rate of change (displacement) in an object over time

What is conserved in an inelastic collision?

• Both momentum and kinetic energy

• Only kinetic energy

• Only momentum

• Neither momentum nor kinetic energy

What is conserved in an elastic collision?

• Both momentum and kinetic energy

• Only kinetic energy

• Only momentum

• Neither momentum nor kinetic energy

Which type of wave consists of particles oscillating perpendicular to the direction of the wave?

• Sound wave

• Longitudinal wave

• Transverse wave

• Seismic wave

What is the theory of universal gravitation?

• The theory of universal gravitation states that objects repel each other
• The theory of universal gravitation only applies to objects on Earth
• The theory of universal gravitation states that every mass attracts every other mass in the universe with a force equal to their product and inversely equal to the square of distance between them

• The theory of universal gravitation is based on the color of objects and is equal to the distance between them

What does the Work-Energy theorem state?

• The work done on an object is equal to the change in potential energy of the object

• The work done on an object is equal to the change in kinetic energy of the object

• The work done on an object is equal to the total energy of the object

• The work done on an object is equal to the mechanical energy of the object

What happens to light when it hits an opaque material?

• It is transmitted through the material.

• It is absorbed or reflected, preventing it from passing through.

• It increases in speed.

• It changes color.
