Remideal Exams

The document contains multiple choice questions about physics concepts like kinetic energy, power, work, simple harmonic motion, thermodynamics, and heat. Kinetic energy is the energy of motion, energy is the ability to do work, and power is the rate of doing work. The work-energy theorem states that work done equals the change in kinetic energy. Simple harmonic motion and the oscillations of pendulums and masses on springs follow predictable periodic patterns that can be described by formulas relating period, frequency, length, mass, and other variables. The first law of thermodynamics states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, and the second law states that energy is always lost as heat during transfers or transformations. Heat is the transfer of energy
