What is the net force acting on the car?
- A. 450 N
- B. 700 N
- C. 1,500 N
- D. 6,300 N
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: To determine the net force acting on an object, we need to consider the sum of the forces acting in the same direction and subtract the forces acting in the opposite direction. In this scenario, there is a force of 4,200 N to the right and a force of 2,700 N to the left. By subtracting the leftward force from the rightward force (4,200 N - 2,700 N), we find that the net force acting on the car is 1,500 N to the right. Therefore, choice C, 1,500 N, is the correct answer. Choice A, 450 N, is too small as it does not account for the total forces involved. Choice B, 700 N, is also incorrect as it is not the result of the correct mathematical operation on the given forces. Choice D, 6,300 N, is too large and does not align with the calculation based on the forces provided.

Which conclusion can be drawn from Ohm's law?
- A. Voltage and current are inversely proportional when resistance is constant.
- B. The ratio of the potential difference between the ends of a conductor to current is a constant, R.
- C. Voltage is the amount of charge that passes through a point per second.
- D. Power (P) can be calculated by multiplying current (I) by voltage (V).
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Ohm's law states that the ratio of the potential difference (voltage) between the ends of a conductor to the current flowing through it is a constant. Mathematically, this is represented as V = I x R, where V is voltage, I is current, and R is the constant resistance. Therefore, the correct conclusion that can be drawn from Ohm's law is that the ratio of the potential difference between the ends of a conductor to current is a constant, denoted as R. This relationship is fundamental to understanding the behavior of electrical circuits and the effect of resistance on voltage and current. Choice A is incorrect because Ohm's law actually states that voltage and current are directly proportional when resistance is constant. Choice C is incorrect because voltage is not the amount of charge that passes through a point per second; rather, it is the electric potential energy per unit charge. Choice D is incorrect because although power (P) can be calculated by multiplying current (I) by voltage (V), this is not a conclusion directly drawn from Ohm's law.
According to Bernoulli's principle, when the flow velocity (v) of an incompressible fluid increases in a constricted pipe, the pressure (P) will:
- A. Depend on the specific fluid type
- B. Decrease
- C. Remain constant
- D. Increase
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Bernoulli's principle states that in a constricted pipe with increasing flow velocity of an incompressible fluid, the pressure decreases. This is due to the conservation of energy, where the total energy of the fluid (sum of kinetic energy, potential energy, and pressure energy) remains constant along the flow path. As the fluid velocity increases, its kinetic energy increases at the expense of pressure energy, causing a decrease in pressure. Therefore, the correct answer is B. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect. The pressure changes in the system are primarily driven by the fluid velocity and the conservation of energy principle, not by the specific fluid type, which is a constant. The pressure is not constant but decreases with increasing flow velocity due to the energy transformation occurring in the system. Lastly, the pressure does not increase; it decreases as the fluid velocity rises.
What force was applied to the object that was moved if 100 Nâ‹…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 Nâ‹…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 Nâ‹…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.
In a circuit with three same-size resistors wired in series to a 9-V power supply, producing 1 amp of current, what is the resistance of each resistor?
- A. 9 ohms
- B. 6 ohms
- C. 3 ohms
- D. 1 ohm
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: In a series circuit, the total resistance is the sum of the individual resistances. With a total voltage of 9 V and a current of 1 A, we can use Ohm's Law (V = I R) to find the total resistance: Total resistance = 9 V / 1 A = 9 ohms. Since the resistors are identical and wired in series, the total resistance is evenly divided among the three resistors: Resistance of each resistor = 9 ohms / 3 = 3 ohms. Thus, the resistance of each resistor is 3 ohms. Therefore, the correct answer is 3 ohms. Choice A, 9 ohms, is incorrect because this would be the total resistance of all three resistors combined in series. Choice B, 6 ohms, is incorrect as it does not account for the equal distribution of resistance in a series circuit. Choice D, 1 ohm, is incorrect as it is too low for resistors in series with a total resistance of 9 ohms.
Fluid dynamics is a subfield of fluid mechanics concerned with:
- A. Equilibrium properties of fluids at rest (Fluid Statics)
- B. The motion and behavior of fluids under various conditions
- C. Phase transitions of fluids between liquid, gas, and solid states
- D. Engineering applications of fluids (related but broader than fluid dynamics)
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Fluid dynamics is the study of fluids in motion and their behavior under different conditions, including how they flow, mix, and interact with their surroundings. It focuses on the dynamic aspects of fluids rather than their static properties when at rest, which is the realm of fluid statics. Phase transitions of fluids between liquid, gas, and solid states are more related to thermodynamics than fluid dynamics. While engineering applications involve fluid dynamics, the field itself is more specialized in studying the movement and behavior of fluids.
