Why not get a bit more practice with some physics quizzes and then come back and have another try!

#1. What is this component?

#2. What do we call the boundary between two different mediums?

#3. Which factors does the angle of refraction depend on?

Select all that apply:

#4. What are fossil fuels?

#5. Calculate the overall distance travelled by the object in the graph.

#6. What is the name of the phase change from liquid to solid?

#7. Why is the total energy transferred to a kettle’s heating element, more than the total energy of the boiled water inside the kettle?

If you could accurately measure the movement of energy, you would always find that all of the energy is transferred. Energy cannot be created or destroyed, this is known as the Law of Conservation of Energy.

Select all that apply:

#63. True or False – Magnetic field lines that are far apart represent the strongest part of the field?

#64. What is Newton’s First Law of Motion?

#65. If an object is moving in a circular path – what is happening to its velocity?

#68. Is time a vector or a scalar?

#69. Calculate the distance travelled by the runner in the velocity/time graph.

The area under the graph = distance travelled

Split the graph into triangles and rectangles and calculate the areas. Then add together the areas.

Area of a rectangle = Length x Height

Area of a triangle = 1/2 x Length x Height

90m 120m 180m = 390m

NOTE: the graph starts at one second and not 0. Don’t be fooled, look at the axes carefully before attempting a question.
