Explanation: In uniform circular motion, the object moves at a constant speed but its direction changes continuously.
Explanation: In uniform circular motion, the object moves at a constant speed but its direction changes continuously.
6 What causes acceleration in an object?
Correct Answer:
D
Explanation: Acceleration is caused by the application of force on an object.
Explanation: Acceleration is caused by the application of force on an object.
7 What is the formula for calculating work?
Correct Answer:
A
Explanation: The work done (W) is calculated using the formula W = F × d, where F is the force and d is the displacement.
Explanation: The work done (W) is calculated using the formula W = F × d, where F is the force and d is the displacement.
8 What type of energy is stored due to an object's position?
Correct Answer:
C
Explanation: Potential energy is the energy stored in an object due to its position.
Explanation: Potential energy is the energy stored in an object due to its position.
9 What happens to kinetic energy as an object falls from a height?
Correct Answer:
D
Explanation: As an object falls, its potential energy is converted into kinetic energy, causing it to gain kinetic energy.
Explanation: As an object falls, its potential energy is converted into kinetic energy, causing it to gain kinetic energy.
