HESI A2 Physics Practice Test Questions
Question 1 of 5
Jack stands in front of a plane mirror. If he is 5 feet away from the mirror, how far away from Jack is his image?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: When Jack stands in front of a plane mirror, his image appears the same distance behind the mirror as Jack is in front of it. Therefore, if Jack is 5 feet away from the mirror, his image will also appear 5 feet behind the mirror. The total distance from Jack to his image is the sum of these distances, which equals 10 feet. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because the image distance is not half of the total distance but the same as the object's distance from the mirror.
Question 2 of 5
What is the mathematical expression for work (W)?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct formula for work (W) is given by the equation W = F x d, where F represents force and d represents the displacement in the direction of the force. Work is calculated by multiplying the force applied by the distance over which the force is applied. Choice A (W = F / d) is incorrect as work is not calculated by dividing force by distance. Choice C (W = d / F) is incorrect because work is not calculated by dividing distance by force. Choice D (W = F^2 x d) is incorrect as work is not calculated by squaring the force and then multiplying by distance.
Question 3 of 5
Enthalpy (H) is a thermodynamic property defined as the sum of a system's internal energy (U) and the product of its pressure (P) and volume (V). The relationship between these is:
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Enthalpy (H) is defined as H = U + PV, where U represents internal energy, P is pressure, and V is volume. Enthalpy includes both the internal energy of a system and the energy required to create space for the system against an external pressure. Therefore, the correct relationship between enthalpy, internal energy, pressure, and volume is H = U + PV. Choice B is incorrect as subtracting PV would not account for the work done against pressure. Choice C is incorrect as dividing U by PV doesn't represent the definition of enthalpy. Choice D is incorrect as dividing PV by U is not the correct relationship based on the definition of enthalpy.
Question 4 of 5
When analyzing a power plant, which of the following is NOT considered a part of the system?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: In a power plant system, the components directly involved in the energy conversion process are considered part of the system. The fuel being burned provides the heat source, the working fluid transfers this heat energy, and the turbine converts it into mechanical energy to generate electricity. The surrounding air, while it may interact with the system, is not a component that directly participates in the energy conversion process within the power plant system. Therefore, the correct answer is D - The surrounding air. Choices A, B, and C are essential components of a power plant system as they play direct roles in the energy conversion process, unlike the surrounding air.
Question 5 of 5
An object with a charge of 3 μC is placed 30 cm from another object with a charge of 2 μC. What is the magnitude of the resulting force between the objects?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: To find the magnitude of the resulting force between two charges, we use Coulomb's Law: F = k (|q1 q2|) / r² Where: F is the force k is Coulomb's constant (8.99 10â¹ N·m²/C²) q1 and q2 are the charges r is the distance between the charges Plugging in the values: F = (8.99 10â¹) (3 10â»â¶) (2 10â»â¶) / (0.3)² = 0.18 N. Therefore, the magnitude of the resulting force is 0.18 N.
