1. 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.

2. 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.

3. If a 5-kg ball is moving at 5 m/s, what is its momentum?

• A. 10 kg⋅m/s
• B. 16.2 km/h
• C. 24.75 kg⋅m/s
• D. 25 kg⋅m/s

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The momentum of an object is calculated by multiplying its mass by its velocity. In this case, the mass of the ball is 5 kg and its velocity is 5 m/s. Therefore, the momentum of the ball is 5 kg × 5 m/s = 25 kg⋅m/s. Choice A (10 kg⋅m/s) is incorrect as it does not account for both mass and velocity. Choice B (16.2 km/h) is incorrect as it provides a speed in a different unit without considering mass. Choice C (24.75 kg⋅m/s) is incorrect as it does not correctly calculate the momentum based on the given mass and velocity.

4. Diamagnetism refers to a material's weak:

• A. Attraction to magnetic fields
• B. Repulsion to magnetic fields
• C. Amplification of magnetic fields
• D. Indifference to magnetic fields

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Diamagnetism refers to a material's weak repulsion to magnetic fields. When diamagnetic materials are placed in an external magnetic field, they create an opposing magnetic field, leading to repulsion. This is why choice B, 'Repulsion to magnetic fields,' is the correct answer. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because diamagnetic materials do not exhibit attraction, amplification, or indifference to magnetic fields.

5. An incandescent lamp consumes 60 Joules of energy per second. What is the power rating of this lamp?

• A. 1 Watt (W)
• B. 60 Watts (W)
• C. 1/60 Joules
• D. Impossible to determine without knowing the voltage

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Power is defined as energy consumed per unit time. If the lamp consumes 60 Joules of energy per second, the power rating is 60 Watts. Therefore, choice B is correct. Choice A ('1 Watt') is incorrect because the lamp consumes 60 Joules per second, not 1 Joule per second. Choice C ('1/60 Joules') is incorrect as it does not represent the power rating. Choice D ('Impossible to determine without knowing the voltage') is incorrect because power can be calculated using energy consumption per unit time without needing to know the voltage.
