A 60-watt lightbulb is powered by a 110-volt power source. What is the current being drawn?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: To calculate the current being drawn, use the formula I = P / V, where I is the current, P is the power in watts, and V is the voltage. Substituting the given values, I = 60 / 110 ≈ 0.55 amperes. Therefore, the current being drawn by the 60-watt lightbulb is approximately 0.55 amperes. Choice B, 1.83 amperes, is incorrect as it does not match the calculated value. Choices C and D, 50 amperes and 6,600 amperes, are significantly higher values and do not align with the expected current draw of a 60-watt lightbulb powered by a 110-volt source.

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.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: When the car falls to the ground, its potential energy is converted to kinetic energy as it accelerates downwards. Upon impact with the ground, the car's kinetic energy is dissipated in various forms, such as sound energy, heat, and deformation energy. Therefore, the car does not retain its initial potential energy of 367.5 kJ when it hits the ground. Choice A is true because the potential energy of the car can be calculated as mgh = 1500 kg * 9.8 m/s^2 * 25 m = 367,500 J = 367.5 kJ. Choice B is true because as the car falls, its potential energy is converted to kinetic energy. Choice D is true as the kinetic energy is eventually dissipated into other forms upon impact.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Work is only done when a force causes displacement. Since the object is stationary, no displacement occurs, and therefore, no work is performed. Choice A is incorrect because work requires both force and displacement. Choice C is incorrect as there is no partial work - work is either done or not done. Choice D is incorrect as the scenario provided is clear - the object is stationary, so no work is being performed.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: In an isobaric process (constant pressure), the work done is given by the formula W = PΔV, where P is the pressure and ΔV is the change in volume. If the volume does not change, the work done is zero, not negative. Choice A is incorrect as it states the work done is zero when the volume change is zero, which is the correct condition for zero work. Choice C is incorrect as it incorrectly suggests that the work done is negative in an isobaric process. Choice D is incorrect as the work done in an isobaric process is indeed dependent on the volume change and pressure.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The primary factor responsible for generating lift on an airplane wing is the application of Bernoulli's principle. This principle states that the air moving over the curved top surface of the wing has to travel faster, leading to reduced pressure above the wing and creating lift. Engines provide thrust for propulsion, not lift. Buoyant forces are more relevant to lighter-than-air aircraft like balloons or airships, not airplanes. While drag reduction through streamlining is important for efficiency, it is not the primary factor in lift generation. Therefore, the correct answer is D.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The formula to calculate the frequency of a wave is given by:

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.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: When a junked car is compacted, its volume decreases while its mass remains the same. As a result, the car's density increases because density is mass divided by volume. Choice A is incorrect because the mass of the car remains the same. Choice B is incorrect because the mass does not decrease. Choice D is incorrect because the density increases as the volume decreases, not decreases.
