Everyday Physics

Subjects : science, literacy
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. Current x resistance






2. The sum of the energy of all the molecules in the system






3. 5/9 [T(F)-32]






4. P x u x A






5. New theory that explained behavior at the atomic level

9. Gallons per minute (gpm) - liters/s - cubic feet per minute (cfm) or m^3/s






10. P + density x g h






11. Force per unit area






12. If energy is transferred and the internal energy of system B decreases by some amount then the internal energy of system A must incrase by the same amount.






13. Distance traveled / time






14. Time= the square root of 2 x height / acceleration due to gravity






15. Compiled the first detailed observational data on planetary motion (mars) - without a telescope.

31. Velocity squared / radius






32. The first to do experimental studies of the laws of motion and was Imprisoned by Pope Urban VIII in 1633 for advocating the Copernican theory - also know as the heliocentric theory - that the earth was a planet revolving around the sun.






33.






34. Decreases






35. Heat into system - work done by system
