Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. How much time will an electric engine of 500W take to lift a mass of 50 kg through a distance of 5 metres? (Potential Energy = Mass X g X Height ; Power = Work or Energy / Time)

Answer: 5

In this case, work done is the potential energy of the object.

2. A car speeds up from 54 km/hr to 90 km/hr in 2 sec. Calculate its acceleration. (Acc. = Change in velocity / Time ; Use 1 km/hr = 5/18 m/s)

Answer: 5

54X5/18 = 15 and 90X5/18 = 25. So Acc = 10/2 = 5 m/s/s

3. A Force of 100 N produces an acceleration of 2 m/s/s in a body. Calculate its mass. (Newton's Second Law)

Answer: 50 kg

Force = Mass X Acc. Newton's famous Second Law of Motion.

4. What current will pass through a circuit of potential difference 200 V with a resistance of 25 Ohms? (Ohm's Law)

Answer: 8 A

Resistance = Voltage/Current, which implies Current = 200/25 = 8 Amperes.

Answer: 1

21 = 5 X 4.2 X T, which implies T=1.

Answer: 100

Acceleration equals 30 m per s minus 20 m per s divided by one second. Therefore acceleration is 10 metres per second square. So force is 10 X 10 equals 100 Newtons.

Answer: 27,500 kJ

LPG consumed in one day equals 14.5 divided by 29 equals 500 g. So energy equals 500 X 55 equals 27500 kJ.

8. One Horsepower equals how many watts, in the imperial measurement system?

Answer: 746

Horsepower is an old term used to compare the power of cars with horses.

9. Another easy one. What will happen to the kinetic energy of the object if its velocity is halved? (KE = 0.5 X Mass X Velocity squared)

Answer: It will become one fourth

Kinetic Energy is half the product of mass and square of velocity, which implies that if velocity becomes half, KE becomes half X half = one fourth.

10. Calculate the current through a circuit, if the voltage across the circuit is 100 V and the resistance is 100 ohms. (Voltage = Current X Resistance)

Answer: 1 Ampere

The formula was deduced by by George Ohm.
