A constant force is exerted on a stationary object. In this scenario, work is:

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: 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.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B. As a raindrop falls, it experiences air resistance which counteracts the gravitational force pulling it down. This balancing of forces prevents the raindrop from accelerating further as it approaches the ground. Choice A is incorrect because while gravity is pulling the raindrop down, air resistance opposes this force. Choice C is incorrect as the mass of the raindrop remains constant during its fall. Choice D is incorrect because objects in motion may decelerate due to various factors, but in this case, the focus is on why the raindrop doesn't accelerate.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Velocity is calculated as the displacement divided by the time taken to cover that displacement. In this case, the object moves 100 meters in 10 seconds. Therefore, the velocity is 100 m / 10 s = 10 m/s. Choice B, 90 m/s, is incorrect as it doesn't match the calculated velocity. Choice C, 110 m/s, is incorrect as it is higher than the calculated velocity. Choice D, 1,000 m/s, is incorrect as it is significantly higher than the calculated velocity.
