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. An object has a constant velocity of 50 m/s and travels for 10 s. What is the acceleration of the object?

• A. 0 m/s²
• B. 5 m/s²
• C. 60 m/s²
• D. 500 m/s²

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The acceleration of an object is defined as the rate of change of its velocity. When an object has a constant velocity, it means there is no change in its speed or direction. In this case, the object maintains a constant velocity of 50 m/s for 10 seconds, which implies that there is no change in velocity. Therefore, the acceleration of the object is 0 m/s² as there is no acceleration or deceleration happening. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because acceleration is the change in velocity over time, and in this scenario of constant velocity, the acceleration is 0 m/s².

3. A 120-volt heat lamp draws 25 amps of current. What is the lamp’s resistance?

• A. 96 ohms
• B. 104 ohms
• C. 150 ohms
• D. 4.8 ohms

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To find the resistance of the lamp, we use Ohm’s Law, which states that resistance (R) is equal to voltage (V) divided by current (I), expressed as: R = V / I. Given that the voltage (V) is 120 volts and the current (I) is 25 amps, we substitute these values into the formula: R = 120 V / 25 A = 4.8 ohms. Therefore, the resistance of the lamp is 4.8 ohms. Choice A, 96 ohms, is incorrect as it is not the result of the correct calculation. Choice B, 104 ohms, is incorrect as it does not match the calculated resistance. Choice C, 150 ohms, is incorrect as it is not the correct resistance value obtained through the calculation.

4. 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.

5. What characterizes laminar flow?

• A. Smooth, parallel layers of fluid particles
• B. Erratic and turbulent motion of fluid particles
• C. High viscosity hindering flow
• D. Incompressibility of the fluid

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Laminar flow is characterized by the smooth, parallel movement of fluid particles along layers in a predictable manner. This flow regime occurs at low velocities and is in contrast to turbulent flow, where fluid particles exhibit erratic and chaotic motion. The viscosity of the fluid does not hinder laminar flow; instead, it influences the resistance to flow. Incompressibility is a property of fluids but does not specifically define laminar flow. Therefore, the correct answer is A as it accurately describes the behavior of fluid particles in laminar flow, making B, C, and D incorrect.
