In this section, you will find both short-answer and workout-type
questions designed to assess your understanding of key concepts.
Short-answer questions will test your ability to provide concise,
accurate explanations, while workout-type questions will require you
to apply your problem-solving skills in greater detail(step by step).
Approach each question with focus, attention to detail, and clarity to
achieve the best results.
1.What is the difference between laminar and turbulent flow in fluid dynamics?
2.How many cubic meters of water does a pump move in a 50-year operation, assuming the average
flow rate is 10.00 L/min?
3.What is the difference between a permanent magnet and an electromagnet?
4.In a closed system, if the cross-sectional area of a pipe increases from 0.5 m² to 1.0 m², how will the
velocity of the fluid change, assuming the flow rate remains constant?
5.Suppose your mass is 80.0 kg and your density is 1050 kg/m³. If you were to stand on a scale in a
vacuum on Earth's surface, the scale would show mg=(80.0kg)×(9.80N/kg)=784N. A.What would the
scale read if you were fully submerged in air with a density of 1.20 kg/m³?
B. What would the scale display if you were submerged in a pool?
6.Define a magnet and a magnetic field, explain their sources, and differentiate between electric and
magnetic fields.
7.What happens when two like poles of a magnet are brought close together versus two opposite poles?
8.A liquid with a volume of 30 L weighs 270 N at a location with
𝑔=9.81m/s2. Find the mass and density of the liquid.
9.Describe the magnetic field lines around permanent magnets and electromagnets, and summarize
their properties.
10.A nozzle with a radius of 0.300 cm is connected to a garden hose with a radius of 1.0 cm. The flow
rate is 0.400 L/s. Calculate the speed of the water:
(a) in the hose, and
(b) in the nozzle.
11.How can a magnetic field be produced without using a magnet, such as in an electromagnet?
12.How does Ampere’s Law explain the magnetic field generated by a current in a straight wire?
13.Blood flows at 0.50 m/s in a horizontal artery with a radius of 1.2 cm, and the gauge pressure is
1.5×104N/m2.(a) What is the speed of blood when the artery radius reduces to 0.25 cm?
(b) What is the pressure of the blood as it passes through this constriction?
14.How does the Earth's magnetic field affect compass needles, and why does it point to the geographic
North?
15.The aorta has a radius of 12 mm and a flow rate of 6.0 L/min.
(a) What is the average speed of blood in the aorta?
(b) When the flow rate in the aorta is 6.0 L/min, the blood speed in capillaries is approximately 0.40
mm/s. Given the capillary diameter is 7.0 µm, calculate the total number of capillaries in the circulatory
system.
16.Identify several high-pressure systems, their typical applications, and the common risks associated
with them.
