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. 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.

3. Surface tension, γ, is a property of fluids arising from:

• A. Intermolecular forces between fluid molecules
• B. Gravitational attraction
• C. Viscous dissipation
• D. Pressure differentials within the fluid

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Surface tension, represented by symbol γ, is caused by the cohesive forces between molecules in a liquid. These intermolecular forces, such as Van der Waals forces, hydrogen bonding, and dipole-dipole interactions, create a 'skin' at the surface of the liquid, giving rise to the property of surface tension. Gravitational attraction, viscous dissipation, and pressure differentials within the fluid do not directly contribute to surface tension. Therefore, the correct answer is A.

4. A 1,000-kg car drives at 10 m/s around a circle with a radius of 50 m. What is the centripetal acceleration of the car?

• A. 2 m/s²
• B. 4 m/s²
• C. 5 m/s²
• D. 10 m/s²

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Centripetal acceleration is calculated using the formula a = v² / r, where v = 10 m/s and r = 50 m. Substituting these values: a = (10 m/s)² / 50 m = 100 / 50 = 2 m/s². Therefore, the correct answer is 2 m/s². Choice B, 4 m/s², is incorrect because it is not the result of the correct calculation. Choice C, 5 m/s², is incorrect as it does not match the calculated centripetal acceleration. Choice D, 10 m/s², is incorrect as it does not reflect the correct calculation based on the given values.

5. Which of these objects has the greatest momentum?

• A. A 1,250-kg car moving at 5 m/s
• B. An 80-kg person running at 4 m/s
• C. A 10-kg piece of meteorite moving at 600 m/s
• D. A o.5-kg rock moving at 40 m/s

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Momentum is the product of mass and velocity. The car has the highest momentum because it has the largest mass and a significant velocity.
