VII. The diagram shows the energy transferred in a lamp in one second.
IX. A car travels along a horizontal road at a constant speed. Three horizontal
forces act on the car.
The diagram shows two of these three forces.
What is the size and the direction of the third horizontal force acting on the car?
X. A student hangs different loads on a spring.
The diagrams show the lengths of the spring with different loads.
XI. A body is moved from place X to place Y where the gravitational field
strength is different. What happens to its mass and to its weight due to the move?
XII. Which of these is biofuel.
A Coal
B Oil
C Uranium
D Wood
XIII. The Sun is the original source of energy for many of our energy resources.
Which energy resource does not originate from the Sun?
A Geothermal
B Hydroelectric
C Waves
D Wind
XIV. A ball is dropped on to a hard surface and bounces. It does not bounce all
the way back to where it started, and so has not regained all of its original
gravitational potential energy.
