PHYSICS FINAL EXAM REVIEW
Chapters 5-13
Ways to study for your exam: * Review past tests, quizzes, homework assignments, and vocabulary sheets * Review notes * Read textbook chapters (especially summary pages at the end of each chapter) * Complete this Review guide * Write practice essay questions and have your instructor grade them
You should be able to: * Define all vocabulary words and describe how they apply to real life physical situations * Apply physics equations to solve problems * Answer all previous test and quiz questions correctly
Instructions: Answer all of the questions on a separate sheet of paper in order to prepare for your final exam.
CONCEPT QUESTIONS
Chapter 5 – Work and Energy
1. How is work related to force and displacement?
2. A car travels at a speed of 25 m/s on a flat stretch of road. The driver must maintain pressure on the accelerator to keep the car moving at this speed. What is the net work done on the car over a distance of 250 m?
3. What form of energy is stored in any stretched or compressed object?
4. State, in words, the work-kinetic energy theorem.
5. Describe the relationship between kinetic energy and gravitational potential energy as a roller coaster completes a trip.
6. A pocket watch contains a long, spiral piece of metal which is coiled tightly as the watch is wound. What form of potential energy is involved in winding a pocket watch?
7. An object is lowered into a deep hole in the ground. How does the potential energy of the object change?
8. Write an equation that expresses the conservation of mechanical energy in a system where the only forms of mechanical energy are kinetic energy and gravitational potential energy.
9. A pendulum is raised 1.5 cm and allowed to fall. If air resistance is negligible, how high will the pendulum rise on the
