Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Boundary layer separation. Boundary layer separation occurs when the flow of fluid detaches from the surface of a bluff body, leading to a low-pressure region behind the object. This separation creates a wake region with reduced pressure. Choice A, Cavitation, refers to the formation of vapor bubbles in a fluid and is not relevant in this context. Choice C, Bernoulli effect per se, does not specifically describe the phenomenon of flow separation behind a bluff body. Choice D, Drag crisis, is not the term used to describe the creation of a low-pressure region due to flow separation.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: Joule (J). The joule is the SI unit used to quantify the transfer of energy due to an applied force. It is defined as the work done when a force of one newton is applied over a distance of one meter. Newton (N) is the unit of force, not energy transfer. Meter per second (m/s) is the unit of speed, not energy transfer. Kilogram (kg) is the unit of mass, not energy transfer. Therefore, the correct unit for quantifying the transfer of energy due to an applied force is the joule (J).

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: To determine the net force acting on an object, we need to consider the sum of the forces acting in the same direction and subtract the forces acting in the opposite direction. In this scenario, there is a force of 4,200 N to the right and a force of 2,700 N to the left. By subtracting the leftward force from the rightward force (4,200 N - 2,700 N), we find that the net force acting on the car is 1,500 N to the right. Therefore, choice C, 1,500 N, is the correct answer. Choice A, 450 N, is too small as it does not account for the total forces involved. Choice B, 700 N, is also incorrect as it is not the result of the correct mathematical operation on the given forces. Choice D, 6,300 N, is too large and does not align with the calculation based on the forces provided.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Work is calculated using the formula Work = Force x Distance. Given that 100 Nâ‹…m of work is done over 20 m, we can rearrange the formula to solve for Force. Force = Work / Distance. Plugging in the values, we get Force = 100 Nâ‹…m / 20 m = 5 N. Therefore, the force applied to the object that was moved is 5 N. Choice B (80 N) is incorrect because it doesn't match the calculated force of 5 N. Choice C (120 N) is incorrect as it is higher than the calculated force. Choice D (2,000 N) is incorrect as it is significantly higher than the correct force of 5 N.

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.
