Module 01 PHYSICAL SCIENCE

The document is a diagnostic test for a physics module that covers topics in classical mechanics including kinematics, dynamics, forces, energy, momentum, and properties of light. It contains multiple choice and true/false questions testing understanding of concepts like frames of reference, Newton's laws of motion, momentum, work, energy, properties of light including reflection and refraction, and models of the solar system. It also includes short problems testing calculations of distance, speed, acceleration, and forces.

PHYSICAL SCIENCE

TRUE of FALSE. Write “T” if the statement is true and “F” if the statement is
false.
_______ 1. The Ancient Greeks considered Earth to be enclosed in a hollow sphere
called the celestial sphere, where the stars, the sun, and other heavenly bodies are
embedded.
_______ 2. It takes 24 hours for Earth to revolve about its axis from west to east.
_______ 3. Earth’s revolution about its axis is called diurnal motion.
_______ 4. Eudoxus was the first to “save the appearances” that Plato referred to, using
a series of 27 concentric spheres on which the sun, the moon, and the planets moved
in perfect circular motion.
_______ 5. Aristotle used 29 “buffering” spheres between the celestial spheres of
Eudoxus and an outermost sphere that was the domain of what he called the Prime
Mover.
_______ 6. The Roman Catholic Church adopted this idea in Medieval times: the Prime
Mover was considered as Goddess, and the sphere of the firmament as heaven.
_______ 7. Aristotle divided the universe into two realms – the terrestrial and the
celestial – with the orbit of the moon as the boundary.
_______ 8. The Greek mathematician Apollonius, known in his time as “The Great
Geometer,” introduced the idea of an epicycle to explain planetary motion.
_______ 9. The center of this small circle in turn moves around Earth along a bigger
circular path called the afferent.
_______ 10. Tycho Brahe accurately measured and recorded the positions of the sun,
the moon, and the planets for 20 years.
_______ 11. Kepler was able to formulate his three laws of planetary motion: law of
eclipse, law of equal areas and law of harmonies.
_______ 12. Model of the universe by Tycho Brahe: the sun orbited Earth, while the
other planets rotated the sun.
_______ 13. Jupiter has ten moons revolving around it. This showed that not all
heavenly bodies revolve around Earth. There are other centers of revolution that are
themselves revolving.
_______ 14. Galileo observed that the Milky Way was simply made of individual stars
and galaxies.
_______ 15. According to Galileo, the moon has mountains, valleys, and craters.
