True
Question 2
Energy is defined as the ability to do work
True
Question 3
In science, work and mechanical energy have different units.
False
Question 4
Work is defined as the product of the force and the distance moved by the force in the direction of the force.
True
Question 5
The potential energy of a body depends of its velocity.
False
Question 6
A body can never have both kinetic and potential energies
False
Question 7
A foot-pound (ft.lb) is also a unit of work.
True
Question 8
The total mechanical energy of a pendulum bob swinging freely without friction changes with time.
False
Question 9
Temperature is a physical quantity that scientists use to measure the degree of coldness or hotness of a body on a given scale.
True
Question 10
On the Fahrenheit scale, the boiling point of water is 100 oF.
False
Question 11
On the Celsius scale, 32 oC is the freezing point of water or the melting point of ice.
False
Question 12
On the Absolute scale, 273 K is equivalent to 0o C.
True
Question 13
When a body is supplied with heat, its temperature always goes up.
True
Question 14
According to the mechanical equivalent of heat, 1 joule = 4.18 calorie.
False
Question 15
A heat engine is a device that allows heat to be converted into mechanical work.
True
Question 16
The second law of thermodynamics states that in a natural process, a substance goes from state of lower disorder to a state of higher disorder i.e. the entropy always increases or at least remains the same in a natural process.
True
Question 17
According to the first law of thermodynamics, the change in the heat of a system equals the change in its internal energy and the work; i.e. Q = U + W.
True
Question 18
Unlike charges repel and like charges attract each other.
False
Question 19
According Coulomb law, the force between two point charges is inversely proportional to the squar...
