Worked practice questions

Kinetic energy is which kind of physical quantity?

  1. Scalar
  2. Vector
  3. Tensor
  4. Matrix
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: A. Scalar

1. Kinetic energy is worked out from the square of the speed. 2. The result carries a size but no direction. 3. So kinetic energy is a scalar quantity. _Source: syllabus Physics Part I, Chapter 6, Work, Energy and Power._

The kinetic energy of an object measures the work it can do by its:

  1. Charge
  2. Motion
  3. Colour
  4. Shape
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: B. Motion

1. A moving object can push against something and do work. 2. How much it can do depends on how it is moving. 3. So kinetic energy measures the work available from its motion. _Source: syllabus Physics Part I, Chapter 6, Work, Energy and Power._

The result linking work done to the change in kinetic energy is the:

  1. Work-energy theorem
  2. Parallelogram law
  3. Law of inertia
  4. Law of periods
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: A. Work-energy theorem

1. Work done by a net force changes how fast a body moves. 2. That change shows up as a change of kinetic energy. 3. The relation between them is the work-energy theorem. _Source: syllabus Physics Part I, Chapter 6, Work, Energy and Power._
