,250 MULTIPLE-CHOICE QUESTIONS WITH ANSWERS
AND RATIONALES
1. A Navy applicant is evaluating a propulsion system in which a constant force
of 600 newtons acts on a component through a displacement of 8 meters in the
same direction as the force. Assuming no losses and that the force remains
constant throughout the displacement, what amount of mechanical work is
performed on the component?
A. 75 J
B. 480 J
C. 4,800 J
D. 48,000 J
Correct Answer: 480 J
, Rationale: Mechanical work is calculated as force multiplied by displacement
when the force and displacement are in the same direction. Therefore, Work =
Force × Displacement = 600 N × 8 m = 4,800 J. Wait, let me recalculate. 600 × 8
= 4,800. The correct answer is C. 4,800 J. My apologies for the error. The
correct answer choice is C.
2. A vessel travels 180 nautical miles in 6 hours at a constant speed. If the vessel
maintains the same speed, how far will it travel in 9 hours?
A. 240 nautical miles
B. 270 nautical miles
C. 300 nautical miles
D. 360 nautical miles
Correct Answer: 270 nautical miles
