TEST I – Identify what is asked in the following statements. Write your answers
on the space provided before each number. (2 points each)
1. A device that converts mechanical energy into electrical energy.
2. A region around a magnet in which a magnetic force can be
detected.
3. A device that increases or decreases the voltage of an
alternating current.
4. The process of inducing a current by moving a magnetic field
through a wire coil.
5. The entire range of wavelengths or frequencies of
electromagnetic waves extending from gamma rays to the longest radio waves and
including visible light.
6. The force acting on a unit area.
7. A device that measures small amount of electric current.
8. A component force, perpendicular to the surface of
contact, (e.g. the contact force exerted on an object by the surface of a floor or
wall, preventing the object to fall.)
9. A type of equilibrium when the body is in motion at a constant
velocity.
10. It is the point from where all the weight of an object may
be considered to be concentrated.
11. A force equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the body.
12. Are substances whose shape can easily change and that
are able to flow.
13. The ability of a solid material to regain its original shape and
size after an external force acts on it.
14. A measure of the change in volume which results from a
change in pressure.
15. The ratio of the mass of a substance to its unit volume.

TEST II – Solve the following problems neatly and completely.

1. You have a rock with a volume of 15cm3 and a mass of 45 g. What is

its density?
2. A swimming pool is filled with water to a depth of 3 m. Calculate the pressure
on the bottom of the pool due to the water. (Density of water is 1000 kg/m3.)

3. A block of wood of mass 3.5 kg floats in water. Calculate the buoyant force on
the block.
4. The large piston in a hydraulic lift has a radius of 250cm2. What force must be
applied to the small piston with a radius of 25cm 2 in order to raise a car of
mass 1500 kg?
5. A 10-m uniform beam with a mass of 1.8 kg, is at rest with its ends on two
scales. A uniform block, with mass of 2.7 kg, is at rest on the beam, with its
center of mass at a distance 2.5 m from the beams left end. How much
upward force must be exerted by the scale on the right end to keep the beam
and the block on it in a horizontal position?

TEST III – Enumerate what is being asked in the following. (15 pts.)

a. (1-7) types of electromagnetic waves

b. (8-10) states of equilibrium
c. (11-15) components of a simple DC motor
