PHYSICS WORKSHEET FOR GRADE 9

I. say “True” the statement is “correct” or “False” the statement is “wrong.”
1. Power is a measure of the rate of doing work or transferring energy.
2. Positive work done if the object gains energy and negative work done is done if the object
loses energy.
3. Work done is equal to change of kinetic energy.
4. Solar energy is used to generate electricity.
5. Total mechanical energy is different from Kinetic energy plus potential energy.
6. Elastic potential energy stored energy in a spring as a result of being stretched only.
7. The total energy of a closed system must remain constant.
8. In an inelastic collision the kinetic energy is conserved.
9. Actual mechanical advantage is never greater than ideal mechanical advantage.
