Energy Test, need some extra revision

AI Thread Summary
A student is preparing for a grade 9 energy test covering topics like kinetic energy, potential energy, and renewable energy. They seek help with specific problems and resources for revision. One question causing confusion involves calculating the force of an object given 10 joules of work and a mass of 10 grams, but the question lacks clarity regarding distance traveled. The discussion emphasizes the need for additional information to solve the problem accurately, such as the distance and direction of movement. Overall, the conversation highlights the importance of clear problem statements in physics.

Homework Statement


I have a test on Energy in a few days, I'm in the top science class at my school (grade 9).


Homework Equations


The test is on stuff like, Kinectic Energy, Potentional Energy, Renewable Energys etc.

If anyone on here can help me, It would be greatly appreciated.
If I left anything out that you may need please tell me & I'll try my best to answer.

Test preparation is kinda out of scope for this forum. If you are working on a specific problem and are stuck, write it up!
 
Cheers, would you happen to know of any websites where I could get some questions to revise on??
 
I do have one question that has me confused:
What is the force of an object with 10 joules of work & a mass of 10g?
 
You are confused because it is a confusing question. Is it verbatim? If so, it is very badly-worded--you would do well to ignore it. If paraphrased or mis-translated, you would need to provide additional clarity. Also, when words fail, a diagram can be helpful.

What distance has the object traversed? Is this horizontal or vertical translation? The question does not seem complete. I started working on this but you would need to know how far the object has traveled to find the acceleration unless the object has undergone vertical free fall where you can assume acceleration to be g.

W=Fd

F=ma

10g = 0.01kg

1/2mv2=KE
1/2mv2=10 J
v=[2(10)/0.01kg]1/2
