Subjects : science, ap, physics
Instructions:
  • Answer 50 questions in 15 minutes.
  • If you are not ready to take this test, you can study here.
  • Match each statement with the correct term.
  • Don't refresh. All questions and answers are randomly picked and ordered every time you load a test.

This is a study tool. The 3 wrong answers for each question are randomly chosen from answers to other questions. So, you might find at times the answers obvious, but you will see it re-enforces your understanding as you take the test each time.
1. A ball rolls inside a salad bowl. The ball is released along the top edge and rolls down before climbing to the same height on the opposite side of the bowl. What is the direction of the acceleration of the ball when it at the bottom of the bowl?






2. In a pendulum or spring - what are the displacement - velocity - PES - and K at maximum displacement?






3. What is the energy equation if a force (friction) through a distance results in heat and thus a change in temperature?






4. What force is always present - and what is its equation?






5. What conditions are necessary to change the reflected ray's phase by 180°?
