HESI A2 Physics Quizlet

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: To find the object distance, we can use the mirror formula: 1/f = 1/di + 1/do. Given f=2 cm, di=6 cm, we can solve for do. Plugging in the values, we get 1/2 = 1/6 + 1/do. Solving for do, we get do=6 cm. Therefore, the correct answer is B (6 cm). Choice A (3 cm) is incorrect because it does not satisfy the mirror formula equation. Choice C (12 cm) and D (30 cm) are also incorrect as they do not correspond to the calculated object distance of 6 cm.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A, P = ρgh. This is derived from the hydrostatic equation, which states that pressure in a static fluid at a depth h is directly proportional to the density of the fluid (ρ), gravitational acceleration (g), and depth (h). Therefore, P = ρgh is the correct formula to calculate pressure in a static fluid. Choice B, P = γh, does not include the density of the fluid and is incorrect. Choice C, P = μgh, introduces a new variable μ which is not part of the hydrostatic equation and is thus incorrect. Choice D, P = bh, does not include the density of the fluid or gravitational acceleration, making it an incorrect formula for calculating pressure in a static fluid.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The Reynolds number (Re) is used to characterize the flow regime of a fluid, determining if it is laminar or turbulent. It is calculated as the ratio of inertial forces to viscous forces. For low Re, flow is laminar, while for high Re, flow is turbulent. Surface tension (C) and buoyancy force (D) do not directly relate to Re. Fluid density (A) affects the Reynolds number indirectly through viscosity.

Correct Answer: C

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: To calculate work, we use the formula Work = Force × Distance. In this scenario, Amanda exerts a force of 100 N to push the lawnmower a total distance of 20 rows × 30 meters/row = 600 meters. Therefore, the work done is 100 N × 600 m = 60,000 N⋅m. This is why choice C, 60,000 N⋅m, is correct. Choices A and B are incorrect as they do not accurately calculate the work done. Choice D is also incorrect as we can determine the work done using the provided information.
