 30. A substance with boiling point at 100°C will boil at
40°C when the surface pressure is

Recall: Gay-Lussac’s Law

A. 304 torr P1/T1 = P2/T2

B. 760 torr (760torr)(100degC) = (x)(40degC)
C. 30.4 torr =304 torr
D. It is impossible to change the Note: the boiling and melting point of
boiling point of the substance substances rely on surface pressure and

 31. Which of the following describes the phenomenon
observed when white light passes through a prism?

Remember that white light consists of

different colors with varying frequencies.
A. Diffusion and diffraction (red to UV)
B. Reflection and interference As light hits a different medium (air to
C. Refraction and dispersion prism), its direction is bent to a different
D. Reflection and diffusion angle. This process is called refraction.
When white light encounters an object
Answer: with a varying refractive index (such as a
prism), the various colors of light
C. Refraction and dispersion experience variation in velocity and

 32. An object at rest begins to accelerate to 5m/s2 in
10 seconds. What is the initial velocity?

A. 50 m/s a= Δv/t
B. 5 m/s
C. 0 m/s
Note that Δv is vf-vi. If an object
D. 10 m/s accelerates, then its vf>vi. If it
Answer: decelerates, then vf<vi.

 33. A projectile with mass m is fired 30° from a point in
the ground and reaches a velocity of 150 ft/s. What is
the projectile’s velocity at the top of its flight?

A. 75 ft/s
B. 9.8 ft/s
C. 300 ft/s
D. 0 ft/s
A. Answer:
B. A. 75 ft/s

68
V = 𝒗𝒙𝟐 + 𝒗𝒚𝟐
Vx = v0cosθ
Vy= v0sinθ-gt

The time (t) it takes to reach the top of the flight = v0sinθ/g
Where G = 9.8m/s2 = 32.2ft/s2
T= (150 ft/s)(sin30)/32.2 ft/s
= 2.33 s
At the top of its flight, the angle of the projectile reaches 90 degrees. Hence, the horizontal
velocity vx is ZERO.
Therefore, the velocity at the top of the projectile is defined by
V = 𝒗𝒚𝟐
= (v0sinθ−gt )𝟐 = (150 ft/s) (sin90) −(32.2ft/s2)(2.32)𝟐
=75 ft/s

 34. A 0.03kg bullet is fired from a rifle with a force of
240N. If the force acts on the bullet for 0.1 s, what is
the maximum speed attained by the bullet?

A. 72 m/s Recall
B. 800 m/s F = ma, and a = v/t
C. 720 m/s
D. 400 m/s
If F = m(v/t) then v = Ft/m
Answer:
(240N) (0.1s)/0.03kg = 800 m/s
B. 800 m/s
