1. A 3-volt flashlight uses a bulb with 60-ohm resistance. What current flows through the flashlight?

• A. o.05 amp
• B. o.5 amp
• C. 1.8 amp
• D. 18 amp

Correct answer: A

Rationale: : Using Ohm's Law, I = V / R: I = 3 / 60 = 0.05 amp. So, the correct current is 0.05 amp.

2. What is the kinetic energy of a 500-kg wagon moving at 10 m/s?

• A. 50 J
• B. 250 J
• C. 2.5 × 10^4 J
• D. 5.0 × 10^5 J

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The formula for calculating kinetic energy is KE = 0.5 × mass × velocity². Given the mass of the wagon is 500 kg and the velocity is 10 m/s, we can substitute these values into the formula: KE = 0.5 × 500 kg × (10 m/s)² = 0.5 × 500 kg × 100 m²/s² = 25,000 J or 2.5 × 10⁴ J. Therefore, the kinetic energy of the 500-kg wagon moving at 10 m/s is 2.5 × 10⁴ J. Choice A (50 J) is incorrect because it is too low; Choice B (250 J) is incorrect as it does not match the correct calculation; Choice D (5.0 × 10^5 J) is incorrect as it is too high. The correct answer is C (2.5 × 10^4 J).

3. What force was applied to the object that was moved if 100 Nâ‹…m of work is done over 20 m?

• A. 5 N
• B. 80 N
• C. 120 N
• D. 2,000 N

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Work is calculated using the formula Work = Force x Distance. Given that 100 Nâ‹…m of work is done over 20 m, we can rearrange the formula to solve for Force. Force = Work / Distance. Plugging in the values, we get Force = 100 Nâ‹…m / 20 m = 5 N. Therefore, the force applied to the object that was moved is 5 N. Choice B (80 N) is incorrect because it doesn't match the calculated force of 5 N. Choice C (120 N) is incorrect as it is higher than the calculated force. Choice D (2,000 N) is incorrect as it is significantly higher than the correct force of 5 N.

4. 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.

5. What is the SI unit for quantifying the transfer of energy due to an applied force?

• A. Newton (N)
• B. Meter per second (m/s)
• C. Joule (J)
• D. Kilogram (kg)

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: Joule (J). The joule is the SI unit used to quantify the transfer of energy due to an applied force. It is defined as the work done when a force of one newton is applied over a distance of one meter. Newton (N) is the unit of force, not energy transfer. Meter per second (m/s) is the unit of speed, not energy transfer. Kilogram (kg) is the unit of mass, not energy transfer. Therefore, the correct unit for quantifying the transfer of energy due to an applied force is the joule (J).
