Quiz Questions & Answers

Question 1: Which statement best describes Newton's First Law (inertia)?
Energy cannot be created or destroyed.
An object maintains its state of motion unless a net external force acts on it.
Force equals mass times acceleration.
Every action has an equal and opposite reaction.
Question 2: If two objects of different mass fall in a vacuum, how do their accelerations compare?
The lighter object accelerates faster.
The heavier object accelerates faster.
They accelerate equally under the same gravitational field.
Acceleration depends on the object's volume, not mass.
Question 3: Which best explains why seat belts reduce injury in a car crash?
They prevent friction between the occupant and seat.
They spread the stopping force over time and body area, reducing peak forces.
They convert kinetic energy into electrical energy.
They increase the car's momentum so occupants move with it.
Question 4: A block slides down a frictionless incline. Which energy transformation occurs?
Electrical energy converts into potential energy.
Gravitational potential energy converts to kinetic energy.
Kinetic energy converts into chemical energy.
Thermal energy converts into gravitational energy.
Question 5: Which describes constructive interference of waves?
When wave peaks align, producing larger amplitude.
When a wave changes medium and slows down.
When peaks cancel troughs and amplitude becomes zero.
When a single wave loses energy over distance.
Question 6: Which scenario best illustrates conservation of momentum in a collision?
A rolling ball slows due to rolling friction.
A charged particle accelerates in an electric field.
An object heats up when compressed.
Two skaters push off and move apart with equal and opposite momentum changes.
Question 7: Which statement corrects the common myth: 'Heavy objects fall faster than light ones'?
In the absence of air resistance, all objects fall at the same acceleration.
Light objects float because gravity doesn't act on them.
Weight determines terminal velocity but not acceleration near Earth.
Heavier objects always have more gravitational acceleration.
Question 8: Which method best reduces random experimental error when measuring a physical quantity?
Use a single very precise instrument reading once.
Take many independent measurements and use their average.
Only measure at the extremes of the instrument range.
Intentionally discard values that differ from expectation.
