Final Review Inkster High School Mr. Lowery Physical Science 2010_2011
2
What is perpetual motion? Perpetual motion describes hypothetical machines that produce more work or energy than they consume
3
Is such a machine possible? No. Why not? B/c energy can not be created or destroyed
4
Which law is that? The law of conservation of energy.
5
In three words, define Potential energy? Energy of position
6
If an object is sitting still on flat ground, does it have any potential energy? No
7
If an object is suspended above the ground, does it have any potential energy? Yes
8
In three words, define Kinetic energy? Energy of motion
9
If you have to push a heavy box up a ramp, which ramp would you choose??
11
Can light travel through space? Yes
12
Does light need matter to be able to travel? No
13
Can sound travel through space? No
14
Can sound travel through air? yes
15
Can sound travel through water? Yes
16
Can sound travel through solids? Yes
17
Does sound need matter to be able to travel? Yes
18
Which of Newtons three laws relates force, mass, and acceleration? Newtons Second Law
19
Which of Newtons three laws says that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction? Newtons Third Law
20
What is refraction? The bending of light rays as they move through different substances
21
What happens when you combine all wavelengths (colors) of light? You get white light
22
What is the process called when sound waves bounce off of a hard surface? Reflection
23
Light travels through space by what process? Radiation
24
Energy from the sun warms us by what process? Radiation
25
Why does the sky appear blue? The shortest wavelengths of light (blue ones) scatter the most so they come at us from the most directions
26
Why does the sun appear more red at sunset than when it is high in the noon sky? The longest wavelengths of light (red ones) scatter the least so we see more of them. Others scatter below the horizon so we see less of them
27
What is the speed of light? 300,000 km / sec
28
What is the speed of sound? 330 meters / sec
29
What is the top part (highest point of a transverse wave called? Crest
30
Light is what type of wave? Transverse
31
Is light an electromagnetic wave? Yes
32
So what type of waves are electromagnetic waves? Transverse
33
The distance between two successive crests of a transverse wave? Wavelength
34
What is the Law of Conservation of Energy? Energy can not be created or destroyed, it can only be transformed.
35
Why does a red shirt appear red? Red wavelengths of light are reflected, all other wavelengths of light are absorbed
36
Why does a whiteboard appear white? All colors of the spectrum are reflected.
37
Why does the black benchtop appear black? All colors of the spectrum are absorbed and none are reflected. Our eye sees this lack of light as black
39
What is the formula for momentum? Momentum = mass times velocity
40
A book rests on a table. What force opposes gravity? The support force
41
Can a smaller football player knock a bigger player backward? If so, how? Yes, if he is moving fast enough he can have greater momentum Momentum = mass x velocity
42
What is the difference between mass and weight? Mass is how much matter an object has. Weight is the effect of gravity on that mass.
43
So do you weigh the same on the moon as on earth? No. You have the same mass but gravity on the moon is roughly 1/6 th that of gravity on earth
44
If you are on a merry go round and do not hold on you go flying off. Why? Your inertia wants to send your body on the same path. It can be hard to hold on b/c you are opposing that inertia
45
A car travels 400 miles to the north in 8 hours. What is average velocity of the car? d = 400 miles t = 8 hours V = d/t = 400/8 = 50 mi/hr
