1. 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.

2. A box is moved by a 15 N force over a distance of 3 m. What is the amount of work that has been done?

• A. 5 W
• B. 5 Nâ‹…m
• C. 45 W
• D. 45 Nâ‹…m

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Work done is calculated using the formula: Work = Force x Distance. In this case, the force applied is 15 N and the distance covered is 3 m. Thus, work done = 15 N x 3 m = 45 Nâ‹…m. Therefore, the correct answer is 45 Nâ‹…m. Choice A (5 W) is incorrect because work is measured in joules (J) or newton-meters (Nâ‹…m), not in watts (W). Choice B (5 Nâ‹…m) is incorrect as it miscalculates the work by not multiplying the force by the distance. Choice C (45 W) is incorrect because work is not measured in watts (W) but in newton-meters (Nâ‹…m).

3. 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.

4. A concave mirror with a focal length of 2 cm forms a real image of an object at an image distance of 6 cm. What is the object's distance from the mirror?

• A. 3 cm
• B. 6 cm
• C. 12 cm
• D. 30 cm

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The mirror formula, 1/f = 1/do + 1/di, can be used to solve for the object distance. Given that the focal length (f) is 2 cm and the image distance (di) is 6 cm, we can substitute these values into the formula to find the object distance. Plugging in f = 2 cm and di = 6 cm into the formula gives us 1/2 = 1/do + 1/6. Solving for do, we get do = 6 cm. Therefore, the object's distance from the mirror is 6 cm. Choice A (3 cm), Choice C (12 cm), and Choice D (30 cm) are incorrect distances as the correct object distance is determined to be 6 cm.

5. When a charged particle moves through a vacuum at a constant speed, it generates:

• A. An electric field only
• B. A magnetic field only
• C. Both an electric and magnetic field
• D. Neither an electric nor magnetic field

Correct answer: C

Rationale: A moving charged particle generates both an electric field and a magnetic field. The electric field is due to the charge itself, and the magnetic field is produced by the motion of the charge. Choice A is incorrect because a moving charged particle also generates a magnetic field. Choice B is incorrect because a moving charged particle generates both electric and magnetic fields. Choice D is incorrect as a moving charged particle generates fields due to its charge and motion.
