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. Two objects attract each other with a gravitational force of 12 units. If you double the mass of both objects, what is the new force of attraction between them?

• A. 3 units
• B. 6 units
• C. 24 units
• D. 48 units

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The gravitational force between two objects is directly proportional to the product of their masses. When you double the masses of both objects, the force of attraction between them increases by a factor of 2 x 2 = 4. Therefore, the new force of attraction between the two objects will be 12 units x 4 = 24 units. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because doubling the mass results in a quadruple increase in force, not a linear one.

3. Which object below has the same density?

• A. A block with a mass of 6.5 grams and a volume of 16.25 cm3
• B. A block with a mass of 80 grams and a volume of 32 cm3
• C. A block with a mass of 48 grams and a volume of 22 cm3
• D. A block with a mass of 100 grams and a volume of 250 cm3

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Density is calculated by dividing the mass of an object by its volume. The density of object A is 6.5 g / 16.25 cm3 = 0.4 g/cm3. The density of object B is 80 g / 32 cm3 = 2.5 g/cm3. The density of object C is 48 g / 22 cm3 = 2.18 g/cm3. The density of object D is 100 g / 250 cm3 = 0.4 g/cm3. Objects A and D have the same density of 0.4 g/cm3. Therefore, the correct answer is A as it has the same density as object D, making them the only objects with a density of 0.4 g/cm3.

4. How might the energy use of an appliance be expressed?

• A. Power = energy × time
• B. Time + energy = power
• C. Energy = power × time
• D. Energy/power = time

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The energy use of an appliance can be expressed using the formula Energy = Power × Time. In this formula, Energy represents the amount of electricity consumed by the appliance, Power indicates the rate at which the appliance uses electricity (measured in watts), and Time represents the duration for which the appliance is being used (measured in hours). By multiplying the power rating of the appliance by the time it is in use, one can calculate the total energy consumed. Option C is the correct choice because it accurately represents the relationship between power, time, and energy. Choices A, B, and D present incorrect representations of the relationship between energy, power, and time, making them wrong answers.

5. A 110-volt appliance draws 0 amperes. How many watts of power does it require?

• A. 0 watts
• B. 108 watts
• C. 112 watts
• D. 220 watts

Correct answer: A

Rationale: When a 110-volt appliance draws 0 amperes, it means that the power consumption is zero as well. The formula to calculate power is P = V x I, where P is power in watts, V is voltage in volts, and I is current in amperes. Since the current is 0 amperes, the power required by the appliance is also 0 watts. Therefore, the correct answer is 0 watts. Choice B, 108 watts, is incorrect because there is no current drawn. Choice C, 112 watts, and choice D, 220 watts, are incorrect as well since the appliance is not consuming any power when drawing 0 amperes.
