1. Bernoulli's principle for an incompressible, inviscid fluid in steady flow states that the mechanical energy, consisting of:

• A. Pressure (P) only, remains constant along a streamline.
• B. Velocity (v) only, remains constant along a streamline.
• C. P + ½ρv² (total mechanical energy), remains constant along a streamline
• D. Density (ρ) only, remains constant along a streamline.

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Bernoulli's principle states that the sum of pressure energy (P), kinetic energy per unit volume (½ρv²), and potential energy per unit volume remains constant along a streamline in an incompressible, inviscid fluid. This means the total mechanical energy of the fluid is conserved, making Choice C the correct answer. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because Bernoulli's principle involves the conservation of the total mechanical energy, not just pressure, velocity, or density alone.

2. When the heat of a reaction is negative, which statement is true?

• A. The products have less energy and are less stable.
• B. The products have more energy and are more stable.
• C. The products have less energy and are more stable.
• D. The products have more energy and are less stable.

Correct answer: C

Rationale: When the heat of a reaction is negative, it indicates that the reaction releases energy in the form of heat. This means that the products have lower energy levels compared to the reactants. Lower energy levels are associated with greater stability in chemical systems. Therefore, when the heat of a reaction is negative, the products are more stable due to having less energy than the reactants. Choice A, stating that the products have less energy and are less stable, is incorrect as lower energy levels imply greater stability. Choice B, stating that the products have more energy and are more stable, is incorrect as lower energy levels lead to higher stability. Choice D, stating that the products have more energy and are less stable, is incorrect as lower energy levels are associated with higher stability.

3. Diamagnetism refers to a material's weak:

• A. Attraction to magnetic fields
• B. Repulsion to magnetic fields
• C. Amplification of magnetic fields
• D. Indifference to magnetic fields

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Diamagnetism refers to a material's weak repulsion to magnetic fields. When diamagnetic materials are placed in an external magnetic field, they create an opposing magnetic field, leading to repulsion. This is why choice B, 'Repulsion to magnetic fields,' is the correct answer. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because diamagnetic materials do not exhibit attraction, amplification, or indifference to magnetic fields.

4. An object with a charge of 4 μC is placed 1 meter from another object with a charge of 2 μC. What is the magnitude of the resulting force between the objects?

• A. 0.04 N
• B. 0.072 N
• C. 80 N
• D. 8 × 10−6 N

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To find the magnitude of the resulting force between two charges, we can use Coulomb's law, which states that the force is directly proportional to the product of the charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. The formula for Coulomb's law is: F = k × (|q1 × q2| / r²), where F is the force, k is the Coulomb constant, q1 and q2 are the charges, and r is the distance between the charges. Substituting the given values into the formula: F = (9 × 10⁹ N·m²/C²) × ((4 × 10⁻⁶ C) × (2 × 10⁻⁶ C) / (1 m)²) = 0.04 N. Therefore, the magnitude of the resulting force between the objects is 0.04 N.

5. What force was applied to the object that was moved if 100 N⋅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 N⋅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 N⋅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.
