Fluids
In an ideal fluid flowing through a closed system where no fluid is lost or added, how does density change with varying cross-section areas along the flow path?
It remains constant since mass cannot be created or destroyed.
INCORRECTORGUNITCT answers are NOT outside related directlyto those that are plausible and relevant could appear on an exam; they also contain only information that would be known by someone familiar enough with physics principles at this level – avoiding any advanced associations beyond scope/AP curriculum guidelines.
When liquid flows from a wider section to a narrower section of a horizontal pipe, how does the velocity of the liquid change?
The velocity increases.
The velocity decreases.
The velocity remains unchanged.
The velocity fluctuates randomly.
What happens to the current in an RC circuit immediately after the switch is closed?
It remains constant since the resistor regulates it.
It is zero as the capacitor blocks direct current initially.
It slowly increases as the capacitor charges over time.
It is at its maximum value because the capacitor behaves like a wire with no charge.
What method of energy transfer can occur even in a vacuum where no matter is present?
Radiation which transfers energy via electromagnetic waves.
Convection involving fluid movement carrying heat.
Advection where bulk motion of an object carries thermal energy.
Conduction that requires physical contact between objects.
In an experiment to measure the mass flow rate of a fluid through a pipe, how could one increase the precision of the measurement if the fluid speed is relatively high?
Use a pipe with a smaller diameter to decrease the flow speed and improve measurement accuracy.
Apply a higher pressure at the inlet to accelerate the fluid and reduce measurement time.
Use a wider pipe to increase turbulence and enhance mixing, providing more consistent readings.
Increase the temperature of the fluid to decrease its density and slow down its flow.
How does an increase in electric field strength affect the motion of a charged particle initially at rest?
Its speed decreases as electric fields do not work on static charges.
It accelerates linearly along the direction of the electric field.
It remains stationary since only magnetic fields affect moving charges.
It moves in a circular motion as per Fleming's left-hand rule.
If a charged particle moves perpendicular to a uniform magnetic field, what path will it follow?
Parabolic trajectory due to constant acceleration.
Straight line as the magnetic field has no effect.
Circular path due to the Lorentz force.
Helical path with increasing radius over time.

When pushing against a solid object at rest with constant force and it doesn’t move, what type of energy exchange takes place?
Radiant energy from muscle exertion is absorbed by the object's surface.
No work or heat exchange since there’s no displacement or temperature change.
Heat is generated due to friction between surfaces in contact.
Work is done on the object converting mechanical to thermal energy.
What happens to the flow rate of a fluid if the cross-sectional area of a pipe increases while the velocity decreases?
The flow rate is halved.
The flow rate remains constant.
The flow rate decreases.
The flow rate increases.
What happens to the mass flow rate of an incompressible fluid as it flows through a pipe that narrows to a smaller cross-sectional area?
It remains constant.
It increases.
It becomes zero.
It decreases.
