TEST I Identify what is asked in the following statements. Write your answers on
the space provided before each number. (2 points each)
__________________1. A device that converts mechanical energy into electrical energy.
__________________2. A region around a magnet in which a magnetic force can be
detected.
__________________3. A device that increases or decreases the voltage of an
alternating current.
__________________4. The process of inducing a current by moving a magnetic field
through a wire coil.
__________________5. The entire range of wavelengths or frequencies of
electromagnetic waves extending from gamma rays to the longest radio waves and
including visible light.
__________________6. The force acting on a unit area.
__________________7. A device that measures small amount of electric current.
__________________8. A component force, perpendicular to the surface of contact,
(e.g. the contact force exerted on an object by the surface of a floor or wall,
preventing the object to fall.)
__________________9. A type of equilibrium when the body is in motion at a constant
velocity.
__________________10. It is the point from where all the weight of an object may be
considered to be concentrated.
__________________11. A force equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the body.
__________________12. Are substances whose shape can easily change and that are
able to flow.
__________________13. The ability of a solid material to regain its original shape and
size after an external force acts on it.
__________________14. A measure of the change in volume which results from a
change in pressure.
__________________15. The ratio of the mass of a substance to its unit volume.
TEST II Solve the following problems neatly and completely.
1. You have a rock with a volume of 15cm3 and a mass of 45 g. What is its
density?
2. A swimming pool is filled with water to a depth of 3 m. Calculate the pressure
on the bottom of the pool due to the water. (Density of water is 1000 kg/m 3.)
3. A block of wood of mass 3.5 kg floats in water. Calculate the buoyant force on
the block.
4. The large piston in a hydraulic lift has a radius of 250cm 2. What force must be
applied to the small piston with a radius of 25cm 2 in order to raise a car of
mass 1500 kg?
5. A 10-m uniform beam with a mass of 1.8 kg, is at rest with its ends on two
scales. A uniform block, with mass of 2.7 kg, is at rest on the beam, with its
center of mass at a distance 2.5 m from the beams left end. How much
upward force must be exerted by the scale on the right end to keep the beam
and the block on it in a horizontal position?
TEST III Enumerate what is being asked in the following. (15 pts.)
a. (1-7) types of electromagnetic waves
b. (8-10) states of equilibrium
c. (11-15) components of a simple DC motor
