1. What is the diameter of a loop if its radius is 6 meters?

• A. 6 m
• B. 12 m
• C. 18 m
• D. 36 m

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The diameter of a loop is calculated by multiplying the radius by 2. Since the radius is 6 meters, the diameter is 6 × 2 = 12 meters. Therefore, the correct answer is 12 meters. Choice A (6 m) is the radius, not the diameter. Choices C (18 m) and D (36 m) are incorrect as they do not reflect the correct calculation for determining the diameter of a loop.

2. A 780-watt refrigerator is powered by a 120-volt power source. What is the current being drawn?

• A. 660 amperes
• B. 150 amperes
• C. 6.5 amperes
• D. 0.15 amperes

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To calculate the current being drawn by the refrigerator, you can use the formula: Current (I) = Power (P) / Voltage (V). Given that the power of the refrigerator is 780 watts and the voltage is 120 volts, you can plug these values into the formula to find the current: I = 780 watts / 120 volts = 6.5 amperes. Therefore, the current being drawn by the 780-watt refrigerator is 6.5 amperes. Choice A, 660 amperes, is incorrect as it is significantly higher than the correct answer. Choice B, 150 amperes, is also incorrect and too high. Choice D, 0.15 amperes, is incorrect as it is too low. The correct answer is 6.5 amperes.

3. In hydraulic systems, Pascal's principle states that a pressure change applied to a confined incompressible fluid is:

• A. Amplified but loses energy
• B. Transmitted undiminished throughout the fluid
• C. Limited by the container size
• D. Dependent on the fluid type

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Pascal's principle states that when a pressure change is applied to a confined incompressible fluid, the resulting pressure change is transmitted undiminished throughout the fluid. This means that the pressure change will be the same at every point in the fluid, regardless of the container size or the type of fluid used. Therefore, choice B is the correct answer. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because Pascal's principle specifically emphasizes the transmission of pressure without amplification, limitation by container size, or dependence on the fluid type.

4. Jon walks all the way around a rectangular park that is 1 km × 2 km. Which statement is true about Jon’s walk?

• A. The displacement of his walk is 3 kilometers, and the distance traveled is 0 kilometers.
• B. The displacement of his walk is 0 kilometers, and the distance traveled is 16 kilometers.
• C. The displacement of his walk is 6 kilometers, and the distance traveled is 0 kilometers.
• D. The displacement of his walk is 0 kilometers, and the distance traveled is 6 kilometers.

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Jon walks all the way around a rectangular park that is 1 km × 2 km, which means he walks a total distance of 6 kilometers (1 km + 2 km + 1 km + 2 km = 6 km). However, the displacement of his walk is 0 kilometers because he starts and ends at the same point after completing the rectangular path around the park. Displacement refers to the change in position from the starting point to the ending point, regardless of the actual distance traveled. Choice A is incorrect because the total distance traveled by Jon is 6 kilometers, not 0 kilometers. Choice B is incorrect as the displacement is not 0 kilometers, and the distance traveled is 6 kilometers, not 16 kilometers. Choice C is incorrect because the displacement is 0 kilometers, and the distance traveled is 6 kilometers, not 0 kilometers.

5. When a junked car is compacted, which statement is true?

• A. Its mass increases.
• B. Its mass decreases.
• C. Its density increases.
• D. Its density decreases.

Correct answer: C

Rationale: When a junked car is compacted, its volume decreases while its mass remains the same. As a result, the car's density increases because density is mass divided by volume. Choice A is incorrect because the mass of the car remains the same. Choice B is incorrect because the mass does not decrease. Choice D is incorrect because the density increases as the volume decreases, not decreases.
