Physics Practice Sheet

Introduction

Physics is the study of matter and energy and their interactions. In this practice sheet, we will focus on the basics of Physics and how they can be applied to everyday life.

Basic Concepts

  1. What is the difference between mass and weight?

Mass is the amount of matter in an object, whereas weight is the force that gravity exerts on an object.

  1. What is the difference between potential and kinetic energy?

Potential energy is the energy stored in an object due to its position or configuration, while kinetic energy is the energy associated with the motion of an object.

  1. What is the law of conservation of energy?

The law of conservation of energy states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed, but it can be converted from one form to another.

Practice Problems

  1. A rock has a mass of 10 kg and a weight of 98 Newtons. What is the acceleration due to gravity?

The acceleration due to gravity can be calculated using the equation: acceleration due to gravity = weight/mass = 98/10 = 9.8 m/s2

  1. A car has a mass of 1000 kg and is moving at a constant speed of 10 m/s. What is the kinetic energy of the car?

The kinetic energy of the car can be calculated using the equation: kinetic energy = 0.5 x mass x velocity2 = 0.5 x 1000 x 102 = 5000 J.

  1. A ball is thrown up into the air and reaches a maximum height of 10 m. What is the potential energy of the ball at this height?

The potential energy of the ball can be calculated using the equation: potential energy = mass x gravity x height = 10 x 9.8 x 10 = 980 J.

Answer Key

  1. 9.8 m/s2
  2. 5000 J
  3. 980 J
