Physics Questions

Q:

Which alternative energy source is exhaustible?

A) tidal energy B) wind energy
C) solar energy D) geothermal energy
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) geothermal energy

Explanation:

Based on conventionality in deriving energy, energy sources could be classified as

 

Conventional ::

coal, oil, hydro, nuclear, etc... sources which can be used up or exhaustible.

(and)

Non - conventional ::

solar, wind, tidal, geothermal, biogas, etc... sources which are not exhausted.

 

Among the given options, Geothermal energy is the alternative energy source among all the choices that are given in the question, that is exhaustible.

Q:

Which phase change is an example of an exothermic process?

A) Liquid to Solid B) Gas to Solid
C) Gas to Liquid D) All the above
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) All the above

Explanation:

Processes that require or give off heat will be limited to changes of state, known as phase changes, and changes in chemical constitution, or chemical reactions. Changes of state involve a solid melting, a liquid freezing, a liquid boiling or a gas condensing.

 

An exothermic process is one that gives off heat, which is transferred to the surroundings. An endothermic process is a reaction which heat has to be supplied to the system from the surroundings.

 

Here in all the given options, heat is taken away from them to change there phase. 

Liquid to Solid --- Freezing

Gas to Liquid --- Condensation

Gas to Solid --- Deposition 

are all examples of exothermic processes.

Q:

What is the difference between Thermal Energy and Heat Energy?

Answer

Energy tranfer takes place either by means of Heat or Work only in Thermodynamics.


Heat :: Heat Energy is defined as Energy that can be transferred due to temperature change.


Whereas


Thermal Energy :: Thermal Energy is the Internal Energy stored in the system maintained at a certain Temperature.

Q:

Force of impact is the force

A) by the objects weight B) by the speed of the object
C) when the objects meet D) None of the above
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) when the objects meet

Explanation:

Force of impact is the force when the objects meet. The speed of the object plays an important role in the generation of force of impact. The laws of physics determine that the force of impact increases with the square of the increase in speed.

Q:

Which of the following is Not a form of Energy?

A) Heat B) Sound
C) Motion D) Pressure
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) Pressure

Explanation:

Pressure is Not a form of Energy.

 

Energy : It is defined as the ability to do work.

Energy comes in two basic forms. They are :

1. Potential Energy

2. Kinetic Energy

 

Potential Energy is any type of stored energy. It can be chemical, nuclear, gravitational, or mechanical.

Kinetic Energy is found in movement. An airplane flying or a meteor plummeting each have kinetic energy. Even the tiniest things have kinetic energy, like atoms vibrating when they are hot or when they transmit sound waves. Electricity is the kinetic energy of flowing electrons between atoms.
