Practice Physics questions with answers and explanations.
A resistor of 4 Ω has 15 V across it. Enter the current in amperes.
Correct Answer: 3.75
Explanation:
Ohm’s law gives I=V/R=15/4=3.750 A.
A wave has frequency 3 Hz and wavelength 4 m. Enter its speed.
Correct Answer: 12
Explanation:
Wave speed v=fλ=3×4=12 m/s.
Practice context 9: Which statement correctly expresses conservation of momentum?
Choose an option to check your answer.
Correct Answer: B. The total momentum of an isolated system remains constant
Explanation:
In an isolated system, internal forces occur in equal and opposite pairs, so total momentum is constant.
Practice context 9: For a transverse wave, how is the oscillation direction related to propagation?
Choose an option to check your answer.
Correct Answer: C. It is perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation
Explanation:
A transverse wave oscillates perpendicular to the direction in which the wave travels.

Practice context 8: Which definition of electric-field direction is correct?
Choose an option to check your answer.
Correct Answer: A. The electric field points in the direction a positive test charge would accelerate
Explanation:
Electric-field direction is defined by the force direction on a positive test charge.
Practice context 8: Which statement about a thin convex lens is correct?
Choose an option to check your answer.
Correct Answer: D. A convex lens can converge parallel rays to a real focus
Explanation:
A convex lens is converging and brings parallel incident rays toward its principal focus.
An object travels 260 m in 10 s at constant speed. Enter its speed in m/s.
Correct Answer: 26
Explanation:
Speed=distance/time=260/10=26.00 m/s.
A net force accelerates a 2 kg mass at 2 m/s². Enter the force in newtons.
Correct Answer: 4
Explanation:
Newton’s second law gives F=ma=2×2=4 N.
Enter the kinetic energy of a 4 kg object moving at 2 m/s.
Correct Answer: 8
Explanation:
K=½mv²=½×4×2²=8.0 J.
