Answer 2

Good

Question 3

What is the formula for Energy Efficiency?

Answer 3

Useful Energy(J)/Total Energy Input X 100

Question 4

Why do darker colours heat up faster/more?

Answer 4

Because they reflect less light, they absorb most of the Solar Energy

A series Circuit

Question 21

A circuit is made up of a battery and 2 light bulbs. The light bulbs are not wired one after the other but on separate branches. What is this called?

Answer 21

This is called a Parallel circuit.

Question 22

What is the formula to find Current or Amps?

Answer 22

Voltage/Resistance

Question 23

What is the formula to find Resistance?

Answer 23

Voltage/Current (or Amps or I)

Question 24

Will a conductor have an almost empty or almost full valence shell?

Answer 24

Almost empty

Question 25

Voltage Formula

Answer 25

V=Current x Resistance

Question 26

What state of matter does sound travel through (fastest to slowest)?

Answer 26

1. Solids 2. liquids 3. Gases

Question 27

Sound travels faster in... because...

Answer 27

hotter objects because the particles are vibrating at higher speeds which causes the sound to travel faster.

Question 28

How do you calculate Wavelength?

Answer 28

λ = wave speed/frequency

Question 29

How do you calculate wave speed?

Answer 29

Speed(m/s)=Frequency(Hz)×Wavelength(m)
