1. What force was applied to the object that was moved if 100 N⋅m of work is done over 20 m?

• A. 5 N
• B. 80 N
• C. 120 N
• D. 2,000 N

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Work is calculated using the formula Work = Force x Distance. Given that 100 N⋅m of work is done over 20 m, we can rearrange the formula to solve for Force. Force = Work / Distance. Plugging in the values, we get Force = 100 N⋅m / 20 m = 5 N. Therefore, the force applied to the object that was moved is 5 N. Choice B (80 N) is incorrect because it doesn't match the calculated force of 5 N. Choice C (120 N) is incorrect as it is higher than the calculated force. Choice D (2,000 N) is incorrect as it is significantly higher than the correct force of 5 N.

2. In a scenario where a transverse wave transports energy from north to south, in what direction do the particles in the medium move?

• A. Only north to south
• B. Both northward and southward
• C. Only east to west
• D. Both eastward and westward

Correct answer: B

Rationale: In a transverse wave, particles of the medium move perpendicular to the direction of energy transport. When the wave transports energy from north to south, the particles in the medium oscillate up and down, causing them to move both northward and southward. Choice A is incorrect because the particles move in both directions, not only from north to south. Choices C and D are incorrect as they mention directions that are not relevant to the scenario described in the question.

3. An object moves 100 m in 10 s. What is the velocity of the object over this time?

• A. 10 m/s
• B. 90 m/s
• C. 110 m/s
• D. 1,000 m/s

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Velocity is calculated as the displacement divided by the time taken to cover that displacement. In this case, the object moves 100 meters in 10 seconds. Therefore, the velocity is 100 m / 10 s = 10 m/s. Choice B, 90 m/s, is incorrect as it doesn't match the calculated velocity. Choice C, 110 m/s, is incorrect as it is higher than the calculated velocity. Choice D, 1,000 m/s, is incorrect as it is significantly higher than the calculated velocity.

4. An object has a constant velocity of 50 m/s and travels for 10 s. What is the acceleration of the object?

• A. 0 m/s²
• B. 5 m/s²
• C. 60 m/s²
• D. 500 m/s²

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The acceleration of an object is defined as the rate of change of its velocity. When an object has a constant velocity, it means there is no change in its speed or direction. In this case, the object maintains a constant velocity of 50 m/s for 10 seconds, which implies that there is no change in velocity. Therefore, the acceleration of the object is 0 m/s² as there is no acceleration or deceleration happening. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because acceleration is the change in velocity over time, and in this scenario of constant velocity, the acceleration is 0 m/s².

5. When a fluid encounters a bluff body (e.g., a car), the flow can separate behind the object, creating a region of low pressure. This phenomenon is known as:

• A. Cavitation
• B. Boundary layer separation
• C. Bernoulli effect per se
• D. Drag crisis

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Boundary layer separation. Boundary layer separation occurs when the flow of fluid detaches from the surface of a bluff body, leading to a low-pressure region behind the object. This separation creates a wake region with reduced pressure. Choice A, Cavitation, refers to the formation of vapor bubbles in a fluid and is not relevant in this context. Choice C, Bernoulli effect per se, does not specifically describe the phenomenon of flow separation behind a bluff body. Choice D, Drag crisis, is not the term used to describe the creation of a low-pressure region due to flow separation.
