1. 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.

2. The strength of a magnetic field is measured in units of:

• A. Amperes
• B. Tesla
• C. Volts
• D. Coulombs

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The Tesla (T) is the unit of measurement for the strength of a magnetic field. One Tesla is defined as one weber per square meter. Amperes (choice A) measure electric current, Volts (choice C) measure electric potential, and Coulombs (choice D) measure electric charge, making them incorrect choices for measuring the strength of a magnetic field.

3. Power (P) represents the rate of work done. Which formula accurately depicts power?

• A. P = W / F
• B. P = d / t
• C. P = W x t
• D. P = F / t

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Power (P) is defined as the rate of work done over time. The correct formula for power is P = W/t, where W is the work done, and t is the time taken. Therefore, option D, P = F / t, correctly represents power as work divided by time. Option A, P = W / F, is incorrect as it represents work divided by force, not power. Option B, P = d / t, is incorrect as it represents distance divided by time, not power. Option C, P = W x t, is incorrect as it represents work multiplied by time, not power. It's important to understand the distinction between work, power, force, time, and other related concepts to solve physics problems accurately.

4. Fluids can be categorized based on their shear stress-strain rate relationship. An ideal fluid exhibits:

• A. Zero shear stress at any strain rate
• B. Linear relationship between shear stress and strain rate (Newtonian)
• C. Non-linear relationship between shear stress and strain rate (Non-Newtonian)
• D. High dependence of viscosity on temperature

Correct answer: A

Rationale: An ideal fluid, often referred to as an inviscid fluid, is a theoretical concept used in fluid mechanics to simplify calculations. It is characterized by having zero shear stress at any strain rate. In reality, such fluids do not exist, but they serve as a useful starting point for understanding fluid behavior in idealized situations. Choice B is incorrect because a linear relationship between shear stress and strain rate defines a Newtonian fluid, not an ideal fluid. Choice C is incorrect because a non-linear relationship between shear stress and strain rate characterizes Non-Newtonian fluids, not ideal fluids. Choice D is incorrect because the high dependence of viscosity on temperature is a characteristic seen in real fluids and does not define an ideal fluid.

5. A box is moved by a 15 N force over a distance of 3 m. What is the amount of work that has been done?

• A. 5 W
• B. 5 N⋅m
• C. 45 W
• D. 45 N⋅m

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Work done is calculated using the formula: Work = Force x Distance. In this case, the force applied is 15 N and the distance covered is 3 m. Thus, work done = 15 N x 3 m = 45 N⋅m. Therefore, the correct answer is 45 N⋅m. Choice A (5 W) is incorrect because work is measured in joules (J) or newton-meters (N⋅m), not in watts (W). Choice B (5 N⋅m) is incorrect as it miscalculates the work by not multiplying the force by the distance. Choice C (45 W) is incorrect because work is not measured in watts (W) but in newton-meters (N⋅m).
