Semi-final Examination in SCIENCE 9

I. Identification
Directions: Identify the term that is being described in each number
__________________ 1. Object that is given with an initial velocity and follows a path
that is determined by the effect of gravitational force
__________________ 2. Physical quantity that has both magnitude and direction
__________________ 3 The motion of a body following a curved path
__________________ 4. Path taken by an object moving in projectile motion
__________________ 5. The product of the mass and velocity of a moving object
__________________ 6. An isolated event wherein two or more colliding objects exert
forces on each other for a relatively short time, resulting in an abrupt change in
momentum
__________________ 7. The product of the force on an object and the time the force
acts on the object
__________________ 8. Energy possessed by an object due to its position from the
equilibrium
__________________ 9. This law states that energy is neither created nor destroyed. It
is only converted from one form to another.
__________________ 10. Form of energy caused by the flow of electric charges

II. True or False

Directions: On the space provided before each number, write TRUE if the
statement is correct, otherwise write FALSE.
___________ 11. When an object is set into projectile motion, no force acts along the x-
axis.
___________ 12. When an object is released at an angle, there are both vertical
component and horizontal component.
___________ 13. Resolution of vector is the sum of the x-component and y-component.
___________ 14. To get the sum of vector quantities that are oriented in the same
direction, just get the algebraic sum of the magnitudes.
___________ 15. Inelastic is a collision in which both kinetic energy and momentum are
conserved.
___________ 16. Momentum is a measure of the difficulty encountered in bringing
moving objects to rest.
___________ 17. Impulse and momentum are interrelated concepts in physics.
___________ 18. There are three forms of kinetic energy, gravitational, elastic and
chemical.
___________ 19. As an object falls down, its GPE increases due to its increasing
distance from the ground.
___________ 20. Energy stored in an object can be converted from one form to
another.
