This quiz covers the Physics Topic 1: Conservation and dissipation of energy

1 / 18

The springs in a car’s suspension have a spring constant of 50 000 N/m. The elastic potential energy store is 0.025 J. Calculate the extension of the springs.

2 / 18

A machine is 40 % efficient. The total energy supplied to the machine is 4 kJ. Calculate how much useful energy can be transferred.

3 / 18

The table shows the power ratings of some different appliances. Place the appliances in order of power rating, starting with the lowest power rating.

4 / 18

A spring with a spring constant of 50 N/m is stretched by an extension of 2 cm. Calculate the energy in its elastic energy potential store. Use the equation:
elastic potential energy = 0.5 × spring constant × extension2
