1. Quick Physics and Energy
Objective 5 Review
Quick Physics
and Energy

2. Physics is about Energy and Motion
How and why do things move?
Do planets move the same way as a ball that is thrown?
These are the types of questions physics tries to answer.

3. Quick physics Speed or Velocity = Distance / Time
Acceleration = Vfinal – Vstart / time to change
Work (joules) = Force (Newton) x distance (meters)
Power (watts) = Work / time

4. A toy car moves 20 m in 40 seconds. What is the speed of this car?
Distance / Time = Speed so
20m / 40s = .5 m/s or 1 3 2 4 5 6 7 8 9 5
A toy car moves 20 m in 40 seconds. What is the speed of this car?

5. Acceleration = Vf – Vi / Change in time so . . .
35m/s – 15m/s / 10 s = 2 m/s/s 5
An object is moving at 15 m/s and after 10 seconds the object is moving at 35 m/s. What is the acceleration of the object? 1 3 2 4 5 6 7 8 9

6. A young man is standing in line at the grocery store holding a 12-pack of Coke weighing 50 N in his arms which are 1.5 meters off the ground. How much work is he doing?
0 Joules
6.25 Joules
33.3 Joules
75 Joules
Work = force x distance
= 50N x 1.5m
Or = 75 Joules _

7. Power = Work/time but nothing here is in Joules
Work = force x distance so . . .
Power = 550N x 5m / 3.5 s = watts
Lakiesha weighs 550 Newtons runs to the top of the 5 m tall staircase in 3.5 seconds. How much power is Lakiesha demonstrating?
385 Watts
559 Watts
786 Watts
9625 Watts

8. Sir Isaac Newton and the 3 Laws of Motion
Considered one of the foremost physicists,
Described the motion of all things in a gravity and friction free system.
For each of the next slides, write at least 3 examples of each law in action. . .

9. Newton’s FIRST Law Law of Inertia
An object at rest or in motion remains that way until acted upon by an unbalanced force.

10. Newton’s SECOND Law Force = Mass x Acceleration
The greater the force on an object in a single direction the greater the acceleration in that direction will be.

11. Newton’s THIRD Law Law of Action/Reaction
For every action force there is an equal and opposite reaction force.
Motion is the result of unbalanced forces on the same object.

12. There are 6 simple machines
Lever
1st Class with the fulcrum in the middle
2nd Class with the resistance in the middle
3rd Class with the effort in the middle
To determine the lever classes three, what is in the middle spells FRE.
Pulley, Wheel and Axle, Inclined Plane, Wedge and Screw

13. Mechanical Advantage and Efficiency, Why Not 100% ?
Mechanical advantage is how much your force is multiplied by the machine
Efficiency is
Actual MA/Ideal MA
Never 100% due to FRICTION
Almost all energy that is not converted into work is converted into heat.

14. Waves Transverse Waves vibrate 90o from the direction of travel.
All electromagnetic waves are in this group.
Visible light and the color spectrum are all transverse waves.
Water ripple waves and microwaves are also of this type
Compression Waves move in the same direction as their vibration.
Sound waves, caused by a disturbance, carried through a medium are of this type.
Some types of earthquakes are also compression waves.

15. The Electromagnetic Spectrum
Shortest to Longest
Gamma X rays Ultraviolet Visible Infrared Micro- TV/Radio Radiation Light Light Radiaion waves Waves
Remember: Long – Low – Slow: Long wavelength is a low frequency and slow velocity.

16. Which of the following waves would have the highest pitch and lowest volume?B D C

17. Speed = frequency x wavelength
All radiant energy travels at the same speed.
3 x 108 meters/sec
This is the speed of light through space.
Radio waves and nuclear energy waves travel at the same velocity.

18. Speed = frequency x wavelength so
343 m/s = Hz x wavelength
A sound wave is traveling at 343 m/s and has a frequency of Hz, what is its wavelength?
0.67 m
1.5 m
169.5 m
855.5 m

19. Light Spectrum Answer: Decreases!
Visible light is a small part of the electromagnetic spectrum.
Violet is the shortest wavelength, red the longest of visible light.
As wavelength increases, frequency?
Answer: Decreases!

20. Waves move, so there can be interference . . .
When something is an interference, it changes the path of movement.
Constructive means it adds to the wave’s energy or amplitude
Destructive cancels or decreases the wave’s amplitude

21. The diagram shows waves approaching a barrier
The diagram shows waves approaching a barrier. Which pattern will be formed after the waves pass through the opening in the barrier?
After passing through the barrier, it will spread back out and continue on the same path.

22. Ohm’s Law Voltage = Current x Resistance
Standard American Current – 15 or 20 Amps
Power, measured in Watts is P = VI

23. Voltage = Current x Resistance
9V = Amperes x 6 ohms or 9V/6ohms =
A 9 V battery is connected to a 6 Ohm resistor. How much current will flow through the circuit?
54 Amperes
15 Amperes
3 Amperes
1.5 Amperes

24. Which of the following electromagnets would be able to pick up the greatest number of paperclips if each one was connected to the same battery? A D C B
More current from more wraps means a stronger magnet.

25. In the diagram above, which poles of the magnets are interacting?
What is the rule for charges and magnetic poles?
LIKE REPELS LIKE! Since the N pole is marked, these must both be south. N
