Physics

Question 1

Distance

Answer 1

the length of the space between two points.

Question 2

Speed

Answer 2

the rate at which someone or something moves or operates or is able to move or operate.

Question 3

Time

Answer 3

the indefinite continued progress of existence and events in the past, present, and future regarded as a whole.

Question 4

Scalar

Answer 4

(of a quantity) having only magnitude, not direction.E.g distnace,speed,time.

Question 5

Vector

Answer 5

a quantity having direction as well as magnitude, especially as determining the position of one point in space relative to another.

Question 6

Displacement

Answer 6

the action of moving something from its place or position.

Question 7

Magnet

Answer 7

A piece of metal that attracts other materials

Question 8

Magnetic Material

Answer 8

Materials that are attracted to magnets e.g iron,cobalt,nickel

Question 9

Poles

Answer 9

Magnetic force of Attractions is strongest at both ends of a magnet.North and South Pole.Like poles repel each other,unlike poles attract each other

Question 10

Alloy

Answer 10

A mixture of two metals.Steel contains iron and cobalt

Question 11

Magnetic field

Answer 11

A magnetic field is the space around a magnet that exerts a force on magnets and magnetic materials

Question 12

Magnetic field lines

Answer 12

The directions of force in a magnetic field are represented by magnetic field lines

Question 13

Distance-time graph

Answer 13

Graph drawn using time on x axis and distance on y axis. The slope gives the speed.

Question 14

Current electricity

Answer 14

The rate of flow of charge per second

Question 15

Static electricity

Answer 15

a stationary electric charge, typically produced by friction, which causes sparks or crackling or the attraction of dust or hair.

Question 16

Charged particles

Answer 16

In physics, a charged particle is a particle with an electric charge. It may be an ion, such as a molecule or atom with a surplus or deficit of electrons relative to protons. It can also be an electron or a proton, or another elementary particle, which are all believed to have the same charge.

Question 17

Conductors

Answer 17

a material or device that conducts or transmits heat or electricity, especially when regarded in terms of its capacity to do this.

Question 18

Insulators

Answer 18

a substance or device which does not readily conduct electricity.

Question 19

Negative

Answer 19

An object that gains electrons is negative

Question 20

Positive

Answer 20

An object that loses electrons is positive

Question 21

Components

Answer 21

each of two or more forces, velocities, or other vectors acting in different directions which are together equivalent to a given vector.

Question 22

Circuit diagram

Answer 22

A circuit diagram is a graphical representation of an electrical circuit

Question 23

Ammeter

Answer 23

Used to measure current in a circuit

Question 24

Potential difference

Answer 24

When there’s a point of high electrical energy and a point of low electrical energy in a complete circuit,we say that there’s a difference in electrical potential energy between those points.

Question 25

Voltage

Answer 25

Another word for potential difference. Measured in Volts (V) using a voltmeter

Question 26

Resistance

Answer 26

A measure of how difficult it is for an electric current to pass through a substance. Unit is the Ohm. Measured using an oh meter

Question 27

Velocity

Answer 27

is the speed of an object in a given direction. E.g. 10 m/s south.

Question 28

Distance-time graph

Answer 28

Graph drawn using time on x axis and distance on y axis. The slope gives the speed.
