1. Four 5 V batteries are connected in series. What is the total voltage of the circuit?

• A. 5.0 V
• B. 10.0 V
• C. 15.0 V
• D. 20.0 V

Correct answer: D

Rationale: When batteries are connected in series, their voltages add up. Therefore, the total voltage of the circuit with four 5 V batteries connected in series will be 5 V + 5 V + 5 V + 5 V = 20 V. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because the voltages of the batteries add up in series, resulting in a total of 20 V.

2. 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.

3. A wave in a rope travels at 12 m/s and has a wavelength of 2 m. What is the frequency?

• A. 38.4 Hz
• B. 6 Hz
• C. 4.6 Hz
• D. 3.75 Hz

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The frequency of a wave is calculated using the formula: frequency = speed / wavelength. In this case, the speed of the wave is 12 m/s and the wavelength is 2 m. Therefore, the frequency is calculated as 12 m/s / 2 m = 6 Hz. Choice A (38.4 Hz), Choice C (4.6 Hz), and Choice D (3.75 Hz) are incorrect as they do not result from the correct calculation using the given values.

4. A 0-kg block on a table is given a push so that it slides along the table. If the block is accelerated at 6 m/s2, what was the force applied to the block?

• A. 0 N
• B. 3 N
• C. 6 N
• D. The answer cannot be determined from the information given.

Correct answer: A

Rationale: According to Newton's second law of motion, F=ma. Since the block has a mass of 0 kg, the force applied must be 0 N, as no force is needed to move an object with zero mass.

5. Longitudinal waves have vibrations that move ___________.

• A. at right angles to the direction of the vibrations
• B. in the direction opposite to that of the wave
• C. in the same direction as the wave
• D. in waves and troughs

Correct answer: C

Rationale: In longitudinal waves, the vibrations of particles occur in the same direction as the wave propagates. This means the particles move back and forth in the direction of the wave, creating compressions and rarefactions along the wave. Therefore, the correct choice is C, in the same direction as the wave. Choice A is incorrect because transverse waves, not longitudinal waves, have vibrations at right angles to the direction of wave propagation. Choice B is incorrect as it describes the motion in transverse waves. Choice D is incorrect as it is an inaccurate representation of how longitudinal waves propagate.
