1. Kinematics
a. Velocity = distance/time (m/s)
b. Distance = velocity x time (m)
c. Time = distance/time (s)
4. 2 objects dropped at the same height and time has the same velocity at halfway.
5. F= ma = mg
a. To find the angle a string makes with the horizontal
i. Calculate the F for each direction: the weight and the horizontal push
ii. Divide the horizontal push by the weight. The value you get is the angle from the
vertical. Subtract 90 degrees and the angle of the vertical to get the angle from
the horizontal.
15. PV=nRT
16. When a glass flask is filled with water then heated, then taken off the heat and tightly stoppered
immediately, then has cold water poured over the flask it will result in boiling again since the
condensation of the steam reduces the pressure inside.
18. Q= mcT
a. The answer will be in joules therefore convert to cal by dividing by 4.19
19. Immediate source of water which forms dew on grass on a summer morning is the air
20. Look at specific heat, the higher the number the greater amount of heat it needs to raise the
temperature of its unit mass by one degree.
22. In hydroelectric plants, electric energy is generate by making use of the power of a waterfall
25. Capacitance = Q/V = coloumbs/volts it is the ability to store charge per unit voltage
27. Electroplating results in a better quality product by applying a relatively moderate current for a
longer time.
30. Dielectric material is an electrical insulator that can be polarized by an applied electric field.
a. When a dielectric is placed in electric field, electric charges do not flow through the
material as they do in a conductor, but only slightly shift from their average equilibrium
positions causing dielectric polarization.
31. No image will be projected on the screen if an object is placed between the focal point and lens.
33. Appearance of a rainbow in the sky after a rainstorm is due to raindrops acting as prisms that
separate sunlight into its components.
35. If a boy stands in front of two mirrors standing at 45 degree angle to each other he will see 7
images.
a. The mirrors will make as many images as needed to complete a 360 degree circle,
including the original object.
b. 360 degrees = circle
c. Take the angle have divide 360/angle
d. If 45 degrees 360/45 = 8, subtract one because that is the position of where the object/boy
is.
36. If the number of lines in a diffraction grating of a given width is increased, the spectrum produced
will be broader.
40. To get the greatest amount of reflected sunlight from a concave mirror food should be placed at
the focus of the mirror.
42. When a large atom such as U235 splits into two smaller atoms, then the combined mass of the
products resulting from the splitting will be the same as the original mass.
43. Gamma particle is high energy x-ray and doesn`t change the element.
45. E=mc2 implies that relatively large amounts of energy can be obtained from relative small
amounts of matter
47. Isotopes
a. Radioactive isotopes can be produced in the laboratory
b. Radioactive isotopes decay by the emission of particles from nucleus
c. There is a wide variety of decay rates for radioactive isotopes
d. NOT TRUE: all isotopes are radioactive
50. In a U235 fission, represented by the equation, Xe140 and Sr94 nuclei are produced and energy is
released. How many n is(are) given off in the process?
a. 23592U + 10n --> 14054Xe +9438Sr + (?)10n + energy
b. 2 n are given off
