6 MDCAT Physics questions with answers and explanations.
A force of 10 N pushes a box 5 m in the direction of the force. How much work is done?
What is the kinetic energy of a 2 kg body moving at 3 m/s?
A machine does 600 J of work in 10 s. What is its power?
What is the gravitational potential energy of a 5 kg mass lifted 2 m? (g = 10 m/s2)
A ball dropped from a height of 5 m reaches the ground with what speed? (g = 10 m/s2, no air resistance)
Correct answer: 10 m/s
Potential energy turns into kinetic energy: mgh = 1/2 mv2, so v = sqrt(2gh) = sqrt(100) = 10 m/s.
One kilowatt-hour is equal to:
Correct answer: 3.6 x 10^6 J
1 kW x 1 h = 1000 W x 3600 s = 3.6 x 10^6 J.
