HESI A2 Physics Quizlet Questions

Question 1 of 5

Viscosity, μ, is a transport property of a fluid that reflects its:

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Viscosity refers to a fluid's resistance to flow. A fluid with high viscosity (like honey) flows slowly, while a fluid with low viscosity (like water) flows more easily. It is a measure of internal friction in the fluid. Choice A, 'Inertia,' is incorrect as inertia is the tendency of an object to resist changes in its state of motion. Choice C, 'Compressibility,' is incorrect as it refers to the ability of a fluid to be compressed. Choice D, 'Buoyancy generation,' is incorrect as it relates to the upward force exerted by a fluid that opposes the weight of an immersed object.

Question 2 of 5

A 120-volt heat lamp draws 25 amps of current. What is the lamp's resistance?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: To find the resistance of the lamp, we use Ohm's Law, which states that resistance (R) is equal to voltage (V) divided by current (I), expressed as: R = V / I. Given that the voltage (V) is 120 volts and the current (I) is 25 amps, we substitute these values into the formula: R = 120 V / 25 A = 4.8 ohms. Therefore, the resistance of the lamp is 4.8 ohms. Choice A, 96 ohms, is incorrect as it is not the result of the correct calculation. Choice B, 104 ohms, is incorrect as it does not match the calculated resistance. Choice C, 150 ohms, is incorrect as it is not the correct resistance value obtained through the calculation.

Question 3 of 5

A pitcher throws a 45-g baseball at a velocity of 42 meters per second. What is the ball's momentum?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Momentum is calculated by multiplying mass (in kg) by velocity (in m/s). The mass of the baseball is 0.045 kg (45 grams converted to kg), and the velocity is 42 m/s. Momentum = 0.045 kg 42 m/s = 1.89 kgâ‹…m/s. Therefore, the correct answer is 1.89 kgâ‹…m/s. Choice A is incorrect as it incorrectly converts the mass from grams to kg. Choice C and D are incorrect due to calculation errors.

Question 4 of 5

Viscosity, μ, is a transport property of a fluid that reflects its:

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Viscosity refers to a fluid's resistance to flow. A fluid with high viscosity (like honey) flows slowly, while a fluid with low viscosity (like water) flows more easily. It is a measure of internal friction in the fluid. Choice A, 'Inertia,' is incorrect as inertia is the tendency of an object to resist changes in its state of motion. Choice C, 'Compressibility,' is incorrect as it refers to the ability of a fluid to be compressed. Choice D, 'Buoyancy generation,' is incorrect as it relates to the upward force exerted by a fluid that opposes the weight of an immersed object.

Question 5 of 5

According to the Clausius inequality, for a cyclic process involving heat transfer between a system and its surroundings at a single constant temperature (T), the following inequality must hold true:

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The Clausius inequality states that for a cyclic process involving heat transfer at a single constant temperature, the integral of heat transfer divided by temperature (∫ dQ/T) must be less than or equal to zero. This inequality reflects the irreversibility of natural processes. Choice A is incorrect as there is a direct relationship between heat transfer and temperature in the Clausius inequality. Choice B is incorrect because the integral of dQ/T must be less than or equal to zero, not greater than or equal to zero. Choice C is incorrect because the integral of Q/T is not a constant in a cyclic process involving heat transfer at a single constant temperature.
