1. A box is moved by a 15 N force over a distance of 3 m. What is the amount of work that has been done?

• A. 5 W
• B. 5 Nâ‹…m
• C. 45 W
• D. 45 Nâ‹…m

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Work done is calculated using the formula: Work = Force x Distance. In this case, the force applied is 15 N and the distance covered is 3 m. Thus, work done = 15 N x 3 m = 45 Nâ‹…m. Therefore, the correct answer is 45 Nâ‹…m. Choice A (5 W) is incorrect because work is measured in joules (J) or newton-meters (Nâ‹…m), not in watts (W). Choice B (5 Nâ‹…m) is incorrect as it miscalculates the work by not multiplying the force by the distance. Choice C (45 W) is incorrect because work is not measured in watts (W) but in newton-meters (Nâ‹…m).

2. Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction states that a changing magnetic field in a conductor induces a/an:

• A. Increase in resistance
• B. Electromotive force
• C. Static electric charge
• D. Decrease in capacitance

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction states that a changing magnetic field induces an electromotive force in a conductor. This electromotive force is responsible for generating electricity in power plants and various electrical devices. The induced current is a result of the changing magnetic field, not an increase in resistance (choice A), static electric charge (choice C), or a decrease in capacitance (choice D). Hence, the correct answer is B.

3. In an electrically neutral atom, the number of:

• A. Electrons is equal to protons
• B. Protons is equal to neutrons
• C. Neutrons are always greater than protons
• D. Electrons are always less than protons

Correct answer: A

Rationale: In an electrically neutral atom, the number of electrons is equal to the number of protons. Electrons carry a negative charge, protons carry a positive charge, and neutrons are neutral. Since the atom is electrically neutral, the positive charge of the protons must balance the negative charge of the electrons, making the numbers of electrons and protons equal. Choice B is incorrect because protons are not equal to neutrons in an atom. Choice C is incorrect because neutrons are not always greater than protons, and choice D is incorrect because electrons are not always less than protons in an atom.

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

• A. 10 kgâ‹…m/s
• B. 16.2 km/h
• C. 24.75 kgâ‹…m/s
• D. 25 kgâ‹…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.

5. Which of the following materials has the lowest density?

• A. Water
• B. Cork
• C. Aluminum
• D. Steel

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Cork has the lowest density among the given options. Cork is a lightweight material derived from the bark of cork oak trees and is known for its low density, making it float on water. Water, aluminum, and steel have higher densities compared to cork. Water is denser than cork because it has a consistent density of 1 g/cm³. Aluminum and steel are metals with much higher densities due to their atomic structures, making them denser than cork.
