When a projectile is launched at an angle of 60°, how does the height it reaches compare to a launch angle of 30°, assuming the same initial velocity?

The height is greater for 60° but the range is shorter.

The height is less for 60°, but the range is longer.

The height and range are the same for both angles.

The height is the same, but the range is shorter for 60°.

What is the relationship between the angles of projection affect the peak height of a projectile?

The peak height is highest when the angle of projection is 90 degrees.

During a head-on collision between a larger truck and a smaller car, the collision time is the same for both vehicles. Using the impulse-momentum theorem and Newton's third law, which statement provides the most comprehensive explanation of the forces and resulting motion?

Both the truck and the car experience forces of equal magnitude but in opposite directions; however, the car's smaller mass results in a larger change in velocity, demonstrating how momentum and impulse are related to force and mass.

The car experiences a larger force due to its smaller mass, resulting in greater acceleration.

The truck's larger momentum prevents it from experiencing a significant force, whereas the car absorbs most of the impact.

The truck exerts a greater force on the car because it has more mass, but this results in a smaller acceleration for the truck.

Based on the diagram in item 22, which principle explains why the total mechanical energy Piolo Pascual remains constant throughout his motion?

The total mechanical energy remains constant when no external forces, such as friction or air resistance, are acting on the object.

The total mechanical energy changes when the object's velocity remains constant throughout its motion.

The total mechanical energy remains constant only when the object is in free fall near the Earth's surface.

The total mechanical energy changes when the object is subject to an external force like friction, which converts mechanical energy into heat.

Compare the roles of the working fluid in a steam engine and an internal combustion engine. How does heat transfer affect their operation differently?

Internal combustion engines and steam engines use the same working fluid principle.

Both use combustion but differ in how they apply thermal efficiency.

Steam engines use combustion for direct heat transfer, while internal combustion engines rely on external heat sources.

Steam engines rely on external heat sources to boil water, while internal combustion engines directly combust fuel inside the engine.

In a projectile motion experiment, two objects are launched with the same initial speed but at different angles. One is launched at 30° and the other at 60°. Despite the differences in their trajectories, both projectiles land at the same horizontal distance. Which explanation best accounts for this observation?

The angles are complementary, and in ideal conditions without air resistance, complementary angles result in identical ranges due to the symmetry in the range equation.

Both angles provide the same vertical and horizontal velocities, ensuring identical ranges.

The projectiles land at the same range because gravity affects both equally, ensuring their trajectories remain similar.

The launch angles compensate for differences in time of flight and velocity, leading to equivalent ranges despite differing peak heights.

Assuming negligible of air resistance, and same velocity, if Shandee hits the shuttlecock in a launch angle of 100 or less, will it reach the opponent's court?

Yes - A low launch angle maximizes horizontal distance, allowing the shuttlecock to reach the opponent's court.

No - A low launch angle reduces flight time, causing the shuttlecock to fall short.

Yes - Any angle will always ensure the shuttlecock reaches the opponent's court.

No - The shuttlecock requires a launch angle greater than 45° to cover the distance.

In a laboratory experiment, a 2 kg cart moving at 3 m/s collides with a 1 kg cart moving in the opposite direction at 2 m/s. After the collision, the 2 kg cart moves at 1 m/s in the same direction as before. Based on the principle of momentum conservation, which statement is true?

The total momentum before and after the collision is equal, confirming the accuracy of the experiment and adherence to the conservation law.

The system lost momentum due to internal forces like friction or deformation.

The total system momentum changed, implying the presence of external forces affecting the system during the collision.

The total momentum before and after the collision is not equal, suggesting an error in measurement or external influence.

Design a system where the copper tubing collects heat and transfers it to a water tank, which passively warms a space without generating mechanical motion.

How do heat transfer and energy transformation work together to enable the operation of a heat engine?

Fuel combustion → Heat transfer to working fluid → Expansion of working fluid → Mechanical energy is used to do work (e.g., move a piston).

Fuel combustion → Heat energy is stored in a battery → Converted back into thermal energy to push a piston.

Mechanical work is applied to a fluid → Fluid absorbs heat → Heat is transferred to the environment, completing the cycle.

Heat energy from the environment → Direct transformation into electrical energy → Energy used to power the engine components.
