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 circular running track has a circumference of 2,500 meters. What is the radius of the track?

• A. 1,000 m
• B. 400 m
• C. 25 m
• D. 12 m

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The radius of a circular track can be calculated using the formula: Circumference = 2 × π × radius. Given that the circumference of the track is 2,500 m, we can plug this into the formula and solve for the radius: 2,500 = 2 × π × radius. Dividing both sides by 2π gives: radius = 2,500 / (2 × 3.1416) ≈ 397.89 m. Therefore, the closest answer is 400 m, making option B the correct choice. Option A (1,000 m) is too large, option C (25 m) is too small, and option D (12 m) is significantly smaller than the calculated radius.

3. The specific heat capacity of tin is 217 J/(g°C). Which of these materials would require about twice as much heat as tin to increase the temperature of a sample by 1°C?

• A. Copper [0.3844 J/(g°C)]
• B. Iron [0.449 J/(g°C)]
• C. Gold [0.1291 J/(g°C)]
• D. Aluminum [0.904 J/(g°C)]

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: Aluminum. The specific heat capacity of aluminum is 0.904 J/(g°C), which is approximately 4 times that of tin. For a material to require about twice as much heat as tin to increase the temperature by 1°C, it should have a specific heat capacity roughly double that of tin. Therefore, aluminum fits this criterion better than the other options. Gold has a much lower specific heat capacity than tin, so it would require less, not more, heat to increase the temperature by 1°C. Copper and Iron also have specific heat capacities lower than tin, making them incorrect choices for requiring twice as much heat as tin.

4. 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.

5. During adiabatic compression of a gas, what happens to its temperature?

• A. Remains constant
• B. Decreases
• C. Increases
• D. Becomes unpredictable without additional information

Correct answer: C

Rationale: During adiabatic compression, the gas's temperature increases. This is because no heat is exchanged with the surroundings, and all the work done on the gas results in an increase in internal energy. Choice A is incorrect because the temperature does not remain constant during adiabatic compression. Choice B is incorrect as the temperature does not decrease. Choice D is incorrect as the behavior of the gas's temperature during adiabatic compression is predictable based on the principles of thermodynamics.
