1. Power (P) represents the rate of work done. Which formula accurately depicts power?

• A. P = W / F
• B. P = d / t
• C. P = W x t
• D. P = F / t

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Power (P) is defined as the rate of work done over time. The correct formula for power is P = W/t, where W is the work done, and t is the time taken. Therefore, option D, P = F / t, correctly represents power as work divided by time. Option A, P = W / F, is incorrect as it represents work divided by force, not power. Option B, P = d / t, is incorrect as it represents distance divided by time, not power. Option C, P = W x t, is incorrect as it represents work multiplied by time, not power. It's important to understand the distinction between work, power, force, time, and other related concepts to solve physics problems accurately.

2. Enthalpy (H) is a thermodynamic property defined as the sum of a system's internal energy (U) and the product of its pressure (P) and volume (V). The relationship between these is:

• A. H = U + PV
• B. H = U - PV
• C. H = U / PV
• D. H = PV / U

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Enthalpy (H) is defined as H = U + PV, where U represents internal energy, P is pressure, and V is volume. Enthalpy includes both the internal energy of a system and the energy required to create space for the system against an external pressure. Therefore, the correct relationship between enthalpy, internal energy, pressure, and volume is H = U + PV. Choice B is incorrect as subtracting PV would not account for the work done against pressure. Choice C is incorrect as dividing U by PV doesn't represent the definition of enthalpy. Choice D is incorrect as dividing PV by U is not the correct relationship based on the definition of enthalpy.

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. Which of these objects has the greatest momentum?

• A. A 1,250-kg car moving at 5 m/s
• B. An 80-kg person running at 4 m/s
• C. A 10-kg piece of meteorite moving at 600 m/s
• D. A o.5-kg rock moving at 40 m/s

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Momentum is the product of mass and velocity. The car has the highest momentum because it has the largest mass and a significant velocity.
