When a force is applied, the spring is stretched as shown in diagram II . Which of the following conclusions can be made about a force from diagrams I and II ? A A force can change the density of the spring. B A force can change the mass of the spring. C A force can change the motion of the spring. D A force can change the size of the spring. 2 A block of wood has a mass of 15 kg on Earth. What is its mass when it is placed in a planet which it experiences half of the Earth’s gravitational force? A 7.5 kg B 15 kg C 30 kg D 45 kg
Sec 2 LSS 3 Which of the following does not involve gravitational force? A a parachutist descending towards the ground B a rocket taking off from its base on Earth C a satellite orbiting around the earth D rise and fall in sea level 4 Which of the examples shows that work is not done? A dragging a load across a floor B kicking a ball away C leaning against a concrete wall D throwing an object up in the air 5 Which of the following statement about work done on an object is not correct? A There is work done if the object is being carried up the stairs. B The object must move in the direction of the force acted on it. C The SI unit of work done is Nm. D When the object remains stationary, there is no work done on the object. 6 The diagram below shows a ball rolling down a slope from point X to a horizontal surface at point Z .

Sec 2 LSS Success Criteria (Pls tick accordingly) Section A Qn I can … 1 recognise that the interactions between two or more objects, result in a transfer of energy which can/may cause changes (by application of force) to the size and/or shape of an object ⬜ 2 compare weight and mass ⬜ 3 show an understanding that a force can be a contact force (e.g., friction) or non-contact force, (e.g., magnetic force, gravitational force) ⬜ 4 identify that work is done is an example of energy transfer that occurs when an object moves in the direction of a force ⬜ 5 identify that work is done is an example of energy transfer that occurs when an object moves in the direction of a force ⬜ 6 recognise that energy cannot be created nor destroyed, it is conserved when it is transferred (from one object to another) and/or converted (from one form to another) ⬜ Section B Qn I can … 1 recognise that the interactions between two or more objects, result in a transfer of energy which can/may cause changes (by application of force) to the ● state of rest or motion of an object ● turning effects in objects (e.g., spanners, levers to open tins) ● size and/or shape of an object ⬜ 2 compare weight and mass ⬜ 3 show an appreciation of some daily life phenomena associated with pressure (e.g., high-heeled shoes, cutting edge of a knife) ⬜ 4 investigate pressure using the formula, pressure = force/area ⬜ 5 identify that work is done is an example of energy transfer that occurs when an object moves in the direction of a force ⬜ 6 show an appreciation of the uses of various sources of energy (e.g., fossil fuels, solar, hydroelectric, wind energy, geothermal energy, biofuels and nuclear energy) and their impact on the environment ⬜
