Physical Science Quiz

Question Answer
What is the study of Physical Science? Physical Science is the study of matter and energy and the interactions between them.
What are the four main branches of Physical Science? The four main branches of Physical Science are Physics, Chemistry, Geology, and Astronomy.
What is the difference between matter and energy? Matter is the physical stuff that makes up the universe, while energy is the capacity of matter to do work.
Name three examples of energy. Examples of energy include light, heat, sound, electrical, and kinetic energy.
What is the law of conservation of energy? The law of conservation of energy states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed, only converted from one form to another.
Name three examples of matter. Examples of matter include atoms, molecules, and materials such as wood, metal, and plastic.
What is the difference between a physical change and a chemical change? A physical change is one that does not involve a change in the chemical composition of matter, while a chemical change involves a change in the chemical composition of matter.
What is the atomic number of an atom? The atomic number of an atom is the number of protons in its nucleus.
What is the difference between an element and a compound? An element is a pure substance made up of only one kind of atom, while a compound is a substance made up of two or more different kinds of atoms.
What is the difference between a physical property and a chemical property? A physical property is a characteristic that can be observed or measured without changing the identity of the substance, while a chemical property is a characteristic that can only be observed or measured by changing the identity of the substance.

Physical Science Practice Sheet

Introduction

Physical Science is the study of the physical world and how it works. This practice sheet will help you learn and understand more about Physical Science.

Section 1: Motion

  1. What is motion?

Motion is the change in position of an object over time.

  1. What are the three types of motion?

The three types of motion are: linear motion, circular motion, and oscillatory motion.

  1. What is acceleration?

Acceleration is the rate at which an object's speed or direction changes.

  1. What is the formula for calculating acceleration?

The formula for calculating acceleration is: acceleration = change in velocity/time.

Section 2: Force

  1. What is force?

Force is a push or pull that can cause an object to move, stop, or change direction.

  1. What is the formula for calculating force?

The formula for calculating force is: force = mass x acceleration.

  1. What are the two types of force?

The two types of force are: contact force and non-contact force.

  1. What is the difference between a contact force and a non-contact force?

A contact force is a force that is applied directly to an object, while a non-contact force is a force that is applied without any physical contact. Examples of contact forces include pushing, pulling, and friction, while examples of non-contact forces include gravity and magnetism.

Section 3: Energy

  1. What is energy?

Energy is the ability to do work.

  1. What are the two types of energy?

The two types of energy are kinetic energy and potential energy.

  1. What is the formula for calculating kinetic energy?

The formula for calculating kinetic energy is: kinetic energy = 1/2 x mass x velocity2.

  1. What is the formula for calculating potential energy?

The formula for calculating potential energy is: potential energy = mass x gravity x height.
