Force and Motion Quiz

Force and Motion

• Newton's First Law of Motion: An object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.
• Newton's Second Law of Motion: The acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on the object, and inversely proportional to its mass. (F = ma)
• Newton's Third Law of Motion: For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
• Types of Forces: Gravity, friction, normal force, applied force, tension, air resistance.
• Inertia: The tendency of an object to resist a change in its state of motion.
• Mass vs. Weight: Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object, while weight is the force of gravity on an object.
• Calculating Simple Motion: Use of formulas and equations for velocity, acceleration, distance, and time measurements in one-dimensional motion.
• Free-body Diagrams: Visual representation of forces acting on an object.
• Balanced Forces: Forces that cancel each other out, resulting in no change in motion.
• Unbalanced Forces: Forces that are not equal and opposite, causing a change in motion.
• Friction: The force resisting motion between surfaces in contact. Different types of friction (static, kinetic)
• Momentum: The product of an object's mass and velocity.

Electricity and Magnetism

• Static Electricity: Build-up of electric charge on an object.
• Electric Charges: Positive and negative charges.
• Electrical Conductors: Materials that allow electricity to flow easily.
• Electrical Insulators: Materials that resist the flow of electricity.
• Electric Current: The flow of electric charge.
• Voltage: Electrical potential difference, measured in volts (V), driving force behind current.
• Resistance: Opposition to the flow of electric current, measured in ohms (Ω).
• Ohm's Law: The relationship between voltage, current, and resistance (V = IR).
• Series Circuits: Components arranged in a single pathway.
• Parallel Circuits: Components arranged in multiple pathways.
• Magnetic Fields: Regions around a magnet where magnetic forces are observable.
• Electromagnetism: The interaction between electricity and magnetism.
• Electromagnets: Temporary magnets created by electric current flowing through a wire.

Waves and Information Technology

• Types of Waves: Mechanical and electromagnetic waves.
• Characteristics of Waves: Amplitude, wavelength, frequency, speed.
• Wave Interactions: Reflection, refraction, diffraction, interference.
• Electromagnetic Spectrum: Range of electromagnetic waves, ordered by wavelength and frequency.
• Digital Information: Representation of information using binary code (0s and 1s).
• Computer Systems: Central Processing Unit (CPU), memory, input/output devices, storage devices.
• Networks: Local Area Networks (LANs), Wide Area Networks (WANs), internet.
• Data Transmission: Transmission of information through various networks and communication channels.

Earth-Sun-Moon System

• Earth's Rotation: Spinning of Earth on its axis, causing day and night.
• Earth's Revolution: Orbit of Earth around the sun, causing seasons.
• Moon's Phases: Changes in the appearance of the Moon due to its position relative to the sun and Earth.
• Tides: Periodic rise and fall of ocean water levels caused by the gravitational pull of the moon and sun.
• Solar and Lunar Eclipses: Phenomena where the sun, Earth, and moon align in specific ways.
• Seasons: Variations in the intensity and duration of sunlight throughout the year, related to the Earth's tilt.
• Moon's Orbit: The path of the moon around the Earth.
• Earth's Tilt: The 23.5-degree tilt of Earth's axis responsible for the seasons.
• Constellations: Groups of stars that appear close together in the night sky.
• Celestial Navigation: Use of the stars and constellations for determining location and direction.
