1. 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.

2. A bicycle and a car are both traveling at a rate of 5 m/s. Which statement is true?

• A. The bicycle has more kinetic energy than the car.
• B. The bicycle has less kinetic energy than the car.
• C. Both vehicles have the same amount of kinetic energy.
• D. Only the car has kinetic energy.

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Kinetic energy is determined by both the mass and the velocity of an object. While both the bicycle and the car are moving at the same velocity (5 m/s), the car has significantly more mass than the bicycle. As a result, the car has more kinetic energy than the bicycle, even though their speeds are identical. Therefore, choice B is correct. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because they do not consider the influence of mass on kinetic energy. Choice A is incorrect as the car has more kinetic energy due to its greater mass. Choice C is incorrect because the vehicles have different masses. Choice D is incorrect as both the bicycle and the car possess kinetic energy.

3. Jack stands in front of a plane mirror. If he is 5 feet away from the mirror, how far away from Jack is his image?

• A. 2.5 feet
• B. 3 feet
• C. 4.5 feet
• D. 5 feet

Correct answer: D

Rationale: When Jack stands in front of a plane mirror, his image appears the same distance behind the mirror as Jack is in front of it. Therefore, if Jack is 5 feet away from the mirror, his image will also appear 5 feet behind the mirror. The total distance from Jack to his image is the sum of these distances, which equals 10 feet. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because the image distance is not half of the total distance but the same as the object's distance from the mirror.

4. A system undergoes an isobaric process (constant pressure). In this process, the work done (W) by the system is:

• A. Zero, if the volume change (ΔV) is zero.
• B. Positive and equal to the pressure multiplied by the volume change (W = PΔV).
• C. Negative and equal to the pressure multiplied by the volume change.
• D. Independent of the pressure or volume change.

Correct answer: B

Rationale: In an isobaric process (constant pressure), the work done is given by the formula W = PΔV, where P is the pressure and ΔV is the change in volume. If the volume does not change, the work done is zero, not negative. Choice A is incorrect as it states the work done is zero when the volume change is zero, which is the correct condition for zero work. Choice C is incorrect as it incorrectly suggests that the work done is negative in an isobaric process. Choice D is incorrect as the work done in an isobaric process is indeed dependent on the volume change and pressure.

5. 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.
