How much work is done lifting a 5 N weight a vertical height of 2 m?
Answer: 10 J
Work equals force times distance, so 5 N × 2 m = 10 J.
Which type of heat transfer occurs through direct contact between particles?
Answer: Conduction
Conduction transfers heat through direct particle-to-particle contact.
What is the density of a 200 g object with a volume of 50 cm³?
Answer: 4 g/cm³
Density equals mass divided by volume: 200 g ÷ 50 cm³ = 4 g/cm³.
In a chemical equation, what must be equal on both sides?
Answer: The number of atoms of each element
The law of conservation of mass requires equal atoms of each element on both sides.
Two resistors of 4 Ω each are connected in series. What is the total resistance?
Answer: 8 Ω
Series resistances add directly, so 4 Ω + 4 Ω = 8 Ω.
What property of a wave determines its loudness for sound?
Answer: Amplitude
A sound wave's amplitude determines its loudness or intensity.
Which state of matter has a definite volume but no definite shape?
Answer: Liquid
Liquids have a fixed volume but take the shape of their container.
