Sample Questions

1multiple correct

Which of the following are examples of kinetic energy?

Show answer

A moving car, A bullet fired from a gun, A rolling ball

Kinetic energy is possessed by objects in motion. A moving car, bullet fired from gun, and rolling ball all have kinetic energy. A book on shelf has potential energy due to height, and stretched rubber band has elastic potential energy.

2true false

The formula for kinetic energy is KE = ½mv².

Show answer

True

The formula for kinetic energy is indeed KE = ½mv², where m is mass and v is velocity of the object. This formula shows that kinetic energy depends on both mass and square of velocity.

3multiple correct

Which forms of energy are types of mechanical energy?

Show answer

Kinetic energy, Potential energy

Mechanical energy consists of only two types: kinetic energy (due to motion) and potential energy (due to position or configuration). Heat, light, and chemical energy are other forms of energy.

4multiple choice

When does work done become negative?

Show answer

When force opposes displacement

Work done is negative when force opposes displacement (θ = 180°). Examples include friction force and gravitational force on upward motion. When θ = 90°, work is zero, and when displacement is zero, work is also zero.
