QUIZ #01: WORK AND ENERGY

I MULTIPLE CHOICE: Choose the letter of the best answer and write the CAPITAL LETTER of your choice on
the space provided before each number. FOR STRICT COMPLIANCE, ANY FORM OF ALTERATION WILL BE
CONSIDERED WRONG. (5 points)
______1. A roller coaster converts energy from potential energy to kinetic energy and back again. Which of the
following statements is true regarding the roller coaster as an energy converter? - D
A. Outside energy is required at many stages in a roller coaster ride.
B. The highest hill on the roller coaster is always the last hill so patrons can have the maximum thrill at the
end of their ride.
C. Energy conversion is ideal because friction is kept at a maximum.
D. The maximum potential energy occurs at the top of the first hill.
______2. A student initially at rest on a frictionless frozen pond throws a 1 kg hammer in one direction. After the throw,
the hammer moves off in one direction while the student moves off in the other direction. Which of the
following correctly describes the above situation? - C
A. The hammer will have the momentum with the greater magnitude
B. The student will have the momentum with the greater magnitude
C. The hammer will have the greater kinetic energy
D. The student will have the greater kinetic energy
______3. Two toy cars with different masses originally at rest are pushed apart by a spring between them. Which of the
following statements would NOT be true? - B
A. both toy cars will acquire equal but opposite momenta
B. both toy cars will acquire equal kinetic energies
C. the more massive toy car will acquire the least speed
D. the smaller toy car will experience an acceleration of the greatest magnitude
______4. Which quantity has the greatest influence on the amount of kinetic energy that a large truck has while moving
down the highway? - C
A. Mass B. Weight C. Velocity D. Size
______5. According to the scientific definition of work, pushing on a rock accomplishes no work unless there is -D
A. an applied force greater than its weight B. a net force greater than zero
C. an opposing force D. movement in the same direction as the force

II ALTERNATIVE–RESPONSE TYPE: Write TRUE if the statement is correct and FALSE If the statement is incorrect,
change the underline word or phrase to make it correct. Write your answer in CAPITAL LETTERS on the space provided
before each number.
_______________1. WORK is done only when a constant force applied on an object, causes the object to move in the
same direction as the force applied. - T

_______________2. Work done is equal to the constant force multiplied by the distance moved in the direction of force.

_______________3. Joule is the unit measurement of Force. -NEWTON

_______________4. One Joule is equivalent to one Newton-kilometers. – Newton-meter

_______________5. Energy is something that an object has, so that it can be capable of doing work. - T
III WORD PROBLEM: Read the situation below and solve what is being asked
1. A truck accelerates at 4m/s2 from rest for 10s. Find the KE of the truck after 10s. Mass of the truck is
500 kg. (5 points)
2. Determine the amount of GPE of a 1.5-kg book that is moved to three different shelves. The heights of
the shelves are 2.0m, 2.5m, and 3.0m. (5 points)
 The Law of Interaction states that for every action there is an equal but opposite reaction. Can this law
apply in real life? Cite situations in your life when you reacted to actions of other people. Which is better—to
react or respond to a given situation? (10 points)

React in action. When people react, it seems to be defensive. We seem to be at a

disadvantage. We are uncomfortable with what is being said or done, and we react. In our
reactions, our emotions take a central role. The hair on our neck stands on end. We feel our
stomach turn. Our face heats up and our defenses are on red alert. We know reactions when
we see it. In fact, some people on the other side will intentionally stoke the fires, especially
when they know we will react. They know if they poke we will coil up and be ready to react in
a full way. There is a downside to reacting. We let emotions without reason drive us forward.
We lose control. Reacting is sporadic and emotional. The upside may be passion, but our
passion needs to be centered on purpose, not an unexpected, unproductive stimulus.

Respond in action. On the flip side is respond. There is still an external spur to our response.
Responding, though, is more thoughtful. Responses contain reasoning. The difference may be
this: Responding is guided less by emotion and more by logic. Responding may be passive in
nature, as we are going second in a series. However, a response is more active, and it can
change the direction of an interaction. The upside of a solid response is an engaging
conversation, all positive and all civil. We learn. We grow. We listen. We respond. We act
forthrightly and from within. - See more at: http://www.thindifference.com/2013/03/a-
