1. An object with a mass of 45 kg has momentum equal to 180 kg⋅m/s. What is the object’s velocity?

• A. 4 m/s
• B. 8.1 km/s
• C. 17.4 km/h
• D. 135 m/s

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The momentum of an object is calculated by multiplying its mass and velocity. Mathematically, momentum = mass x velocity. Given that the mass is 45 kg and the momentum is 180 kg⋅m/s, we can rearrange the formula to solve for velocity: velocity = momentum / mass. Plugging in the values, velocity = 180 kg⋅m/s / 45 kg = 4 m/s. Therefore, the object's velocity is 4 m/s. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not align with the correct calculation based on the given mass and momentum values.

2. The drag force (F_d) experienced by an object moving through a fluid depends on:

• A. Object's shape and size only
• B. Fluid properties and object velocity
• C. Depth of submersion only
• D. Buoyant force acting on the object

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The drag force experienced by an object moving through a fluid depends on multiple factors, including the object's shape, size, velocity, and the fluid's properties such as viscosity and density. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because drag force is not solely determined by the object's shape and size, depth of submersion, or buoyant force acting on the object. The primary factors affecting drag force are the fluid properties and the object's velocity. Therefore, the correct answer is B.

3. According to the Law of Universal Gravitation, the gravitational force between two objects is directly proportional to what factor?

• A. the gravitational constant
• B. the distance between them
• C. the product of their masses
• D. the square of the distance between them

Correct answer: C

Rationale: According to the Law of Universal Gravitation, the gravitational force between two objects is directly proportional to the product of their masses. The equation is: F = G × (m₁ × m₂) / r², where F is the gravitational force, G is the gravitational constant, m₁ and m₂ are the masses of the two objects, and r is the distance between them. Choice A is incorrect because the gravitational constant is a constant value. Choice B is incorrect because the distance between the objects affects the strength of the gravitational force inversely proportional to the square of the distance, not directly proportional. Choice D is incorrect as it represents the inverse square law, where the gravitational force decreases with the square of the distance between the objects.

4. A car, starting from rest, accelerates at 10 m/s² for 5 seconds. What is the velocity of the car after 5 seconds?

• A. 2 m/s
• B. 5 m/s
• C. 50 m/s
• D. The answer cannot be determined from the information given.

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The velocity of an object can be calculated using the formula: final velocity = initial velocity + (acceleration × time). In this case, the car starts from rest, so the initial velocity is 0 m/s. Given that the acceleration is 10 m/s² and the time is 5 seconds, we can plug these values into the formula to find the final velocity: final velocity = 0 m/s + (10 m/s² × 5 s) = 0 m/s + 50 m/s = 50 m/s. Therefore, the velocity of the car after 5 seconds is 50 m/s. Choice A (2 m/s) and Choice B (5 m/s) are incorrect because they do not consider the acceleration the car undergoes over the 5 seconds, resulting in a final velocity greater than both. Choice D (The answer cannot be determined from the information given) is incorrect as the final velocity can be determined using the provided data and the kinematic equation.

5. Which of the following is NOT a mode of heat transfer between a system and its surroundings?

• A. Conduction
• B. Convection
• C. Radiation
• D. Isothermalization

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Isothermalization is not a mode of heat transfer. The three main modes of heat transfer are conduction (through direct contact), convection (through fluid motion), and radiation (through electromagnetic waves). In this question, choice A, conduction, is not a mode of heat transfer between a system and its surroundings. Conduction refers to heat transfer through direct contact between particles, without the movement of the particles themselves. Therefore, A is the correct answer. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they represent valid modes of heat transfer.
