Correct Answer: A. The basis for defining temperature and thermal equilibrium
Explanation:
If two systems are each in thermal equilibrium with a third, they are in equilibrium with each other.
This permits consistent temperature measurement.
Choose an option to check your answer.
Correct Answer: B. Heat required to raise unit mass by one degree of temperature
Explanation:
Specific heat capacity describes thermal inertia.
Materials with high values require more heat for the same temperature rise.
Choose an option to check your answer.
Correct Answer: C. Energy absorbed or released during a phase change without temperature change
Explanation:
Latent heat changes molecular arrangement rather than temperature.
Fusion and vaporization involve different latent heats.
Choose an option to check your answer.
Correct Answer: D. Increase in dimensions caused by a temperature rise
Explanation:
Heating usually increases average particle separation.
Solids, liquids, and gases expand by different amounts.
Choose an option to check your answer.
Correct Answer: A. 20 N·m
Explanation:
Torque is rF sinθ.
τ=2×20×sin30° = 20 N·m.
Choose an option to check your answer.
Correct Answer: A. A fluid's resistance to internal shear and flow
Explanation:
Viscosity represents internal friction between layers.
More viscous fluids resist deformation more strongly.
Choose an option to check your answer.
Correct Answer: A. 2000 N
Explanation:
The pressure is 100/0.01 = 10,000 Pa.
Output force is 10,000×0.20 = 2000 N.
Choose an option to check your answer.
Correct Answer: B. 5 rad/s
Explanation:
Angular velocity is angular displacement divided by time.
ω=10/2 = 5 rad/s.
Choose an option to check your answer.
Correct Answer: B. Flow in which fluid elements follow smooth noncrossing paths
Explanation:
Streamline or laminar flow has ordered layers.
Turbulent flow contains irregular fluctuations and mixing.
Choose an option to check your answer.
Correct Answer: B. 300 N
Explanation:
Buoyant force equals ρVg.
F=1000×0.03×10 = 300 N.
Choose an option to check your answer.
Correct Answer: C. 4 rad/s²
Explanation:
Angular acceleration is change in angular velocity over time.
α=(16-4)/3 = 4 rad/s².
Choose an option to check your answer.
Correct Answer: C. The tendency of a liquid surface to minimize its area
Explanation:
Cohesive molecular forces create surface tension.
It makes a liquid surface behave like a stretched membrane.
