2. A coal-fired power station generates electricity. Coal is burnt and the energy released is
used to boil water. The steam from the water makes the generator move and this produces
electricity.
Which words are used to describe the energy stored in the coal and the energy of the moving
generator?

Coal Generator
A Chemical hydroelectric
B Chemical kinetic
C Geo thermal Hydroelectric
D Geo thermal kinetic

3. In a factory, two men X and Y try to move identical heavy boxes P and Q.
Man X tries to push box P along the floor. The box does not move because an object is
in the way.
Man Y lifts box Q from the floor onto a shelf.

Which man does the most work on the box, and which box gains the most energy?

Man doing most Box gaining

work most energy
A X P
B X Q
C Y P
D Y Q
4. Which quantities are measured in the same unit?
A) Energy, power and work
B) Energy and power, but not work
C) Energy and work, but not power
D) Power and work, but not energy
5. What is the unit of Strain?
a) Unity b) No units c) Newton’s d) both a & b
6. When does an object falling vertically through the air reach terminal velocity?
A) When the acceleration of the object becomes negative
B) When the acceleration of the object is equal to g
C) When the air resistance equals the weight of the object
D) When the air resistance is greater than the weight of the object
7. A man climbs a ladder. Which quantities can be used to calculate the useful power of the man?
A) The weight of the man and the time taken only
B) The weight of the man and the vertical distance moved only
C) The work done by the man and the time taken only
D) The work done by the man and the vertical distance moved only
8. Which row about boiling and about evaporation is correct?
