#29. Why is geothermal energy not used more often around the world?

#30. Which process transfers heat using electromagnetic waves?

#31. When a substance changes from a solid to a liquid, what happens to the mass?

Stays the same because there has been no change in the number of particles. We say that the mass has been conserved.

#48. Is speed a vector or a scalar?

#49. 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.

#68. Steel is a magnetic material – true or false?

#69. How is kinetic energy stored?

#70. Which of the following is the equation for change in gravitational potential energy?

#71. What wavelength of the electromagnetic spectrum does a radiator glow at?

#72. Determine the speed of the object between 1 and 3 seconds. ? answer to 2 decimal places

#73. What does F represent in the equation for work done?

#74. In longitudinal waves are the vibrations parallel or at right angles to the direction of wave travel?

#75. 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.
