Students have just finished a demonstration in which a large capacitor was charged by a 5,000 V power supply. The teacher switches off the supply and unplugs it from the wall. Which action is MOST important before students are allowed to handle the apparatus?
Correct answer: D - Discharge the capacitor through a resistor using an insulated tool
A student proposes the relationship v = √(kx/m), where v is a speed, x is a distance, and m is a mass. For this expression to be dimensionally valid, k must have the same units as:
Correct answer: B - force, kg·m/s²
Two vectors have magnitudes of 5.0 units and 3.0 units. Which value CANNOT be the magnitude of their resultant?
Correct answer: D - 9.0 units
A sample of ice at −20 °C is heated at a constant rate until it becomes steam at 120 °C. On a graph of temperature versus heat added, the LONGEST horizontal segment corresponds to:
Correct answer: C - boiling the water at 100 °C
An ideal gas is compressed isothermally. Which statement about the gas during this process is correct?
Correct answer: B - It releases heat equal in magnitude to the work done on it
A book rests on a table. Which force is the Newton's third law reaction partner to the gravitational force that Earth exerts on the book?
Correct answer: D - The gravitational force the book exerts on Earth
A ball rolls off a horizontal tabletop 1.25 m above the floor with a speed of 4.0 m/s. Neglecting air resistance, how far from the base of the table does it land? (g = 9.80 m/s²)
Correct answer: B - 2.0 m
An object moves along a straight line. Its velocity-versus-time graph is a straight line beginning at +6.0 m/s at t = 0 and decreasing uniformly to −6.0 m/s at t = 4.0 s. What total DISTANCE does the object travel during these 4.0 s?
Correct answer: C - 12 m
A car traveling at 20 m/s requires a distance d to stop under maximum braking. Under identical road conditions, what distance is required to stop the same car from 60 m/s?
Correct answer: C - 9d
A solid block floats in fresh water with 60% of its volume submerged. What is the density of the block? (density of water = 1.00 × 10³ kg/m³)
Correct answer: B - 600 kg/m³
