If the attraction of the sun is suddenly ceased, the earth would continue to move in a straight line making a tangent with the original orbit. This statement is derived from Neutron's
Bayanin Amsa
The correct answer is the First law of motion. The First law of motion, also known as the law of inertia, states that an object will remain at rest or in uniform motion in a straight line unless acted upon by an external force. In this case, the earth is moving in its orbit around the sun because of the force of gravity between the two objects. If the force of gravity suddenly ceased, the earth would no longer be acted upon by an external force and would continue to move in a straight line, making a tangent with its original orbit. This idea is attributed to Sir Isaac Newton, who developed the laws of motion and the law of universal gravitation. However, the specific statement mentioned in the question is derived from the First law of motion.

The mass of water vapour in a given volume of air is 0.05g at 20°C, while the mass of water vapour required to saturate it at the same temperature is 0.15g. Calculate the relative humidity of the air.
Bayanin Amsa
Relative humidity is a measure of how much water vapor the air is holding compared to the maximum amount it could hold at a given temperature. It is expressed as a percentage. To calculate the relative humidity of the air in this problem, we need to use the formula: Relative humidity = (mass of water vapor in air / mass of water vapor required for saturation) x 100% We are given that the mass of water vapor in the air is 0.05g and the mass of water vapor required for saturation at the same temperature is 0.15g. Plugging these values into the formula, we get: Relative humidity = (0.05 / 0.15) x 100% = 33.33% Therefore, the relative humidity of the air is 33.33%. So the answer is 33.33%.

Bayanin Amsa
In sunlight, a blue flower looks blue because it reflects blue light. When sunlight falls on an object, the object can either absorb, transmit, or reflect the light. The color of an object that we see is determined by the light that is reflected by that object. For example, if an object appears blue, it is because it reflects blue light and absorbs other colors. In the case of a blue flower in sunlight, the petals of the flower reflect blue light and absorb other colors. This reflected blue light enters our eyes, and our brain interprets it as the color blue. Therefore, we see the blue flower as blue because it reflects blue light, and that is the color that enters our eyes. In summary, the reason why a blue flower looks blue in sunlight is that it reflects blue light and absorbs other colors.

Bayanin Amsa
One newton times one meter is equal to one Joule. A newton is the unit of measurement for force, and a meter is the unit of measurement for distance. When force is applied over a distance, work is done, which is measured in Joules. Therefore, one newton multiplied by one meter results in one Joule of work done. The other options listed (one water, one ampere, one kilogram) are not correct units of measurement for this calculation.

Bayanin Amsa
If a body moves with a constant speed and at the same time undergoes an acceleration, its motion is said to be rectilinear. When an object moves with constant speed, it means that it covers the same distance in equal time intervals. On the other hand, acceleration is the rate of change of velocity with time. If an object undergoes acceleration, its velocity changes with time. Therefore, if a body moves with constant speed and undergoes an acceleration, it means that its direction of motion changes while it covers equal distances in equal time intervals. This type of motion is called rectilinear motion, where the object moves in a straight line, but its velocity changes due to the acceleration. In contrast, circular motion is when an object moves in a circular path with a constant speed, while oscillatory motion is when an object moves back and forth around a fixed point. Rotational motion is when an object rotates around an axis. None of these descriptions fit the scenario of a body moving with constant speed and undergoing acceleration, so the answer is rectilinear motion.

Which of the following statements is/are correct for a freely falling body?
I. the total is entirely kinetic
II. the ratio of potential energy to kinetic energy is constant
III. the sum of potential and kinetic energy is constant
Bayanin Amsa
The correct answer is "III only". A freely falling body is one that is falling under the influence of gravity and experiences no other force or constraint. In this situation, the total energy of the body is conserved, meaning that the sum of its potential and kinetic energy remains constant. The potential energy of a body is directly proportional to its height above the ground, and its kinetic energy is directly proportional to its velocity. As the body falls, its potential energy decreases and its kinetic energy increases, but the total energy remains constant. Statement III is correct because the sum of potential and kinetic energy is indeed constant for a freely falling body. Statement I is incorrect because the body has both potential and kinetic energy, so the total energy is not entirely kinetic. Statement II is incorrect because the ratio of potential energy to kinetic energy is not constant for a freely falling body, as both are changing as the body falls.

A boy pushes a 500kg box along a floor with a force of 2000N. If the velocity of the box is uniform, the co-efficient of friction between the box and the floor is
Bayanin Amsa
The coefficient of friction is a measure of the amount of friction between two surfaces. It is represented by the symbol "μ" and is a dimensionless quantity. The coefficient of friction between two surfaces depends on the nature of the surfaces in contact and the force pressing them together. In this problem, the boy is pushing the box with a force of 2000N. If the box is moving with a uniform velocity, then the force of friction acting on the box is equal and opposite to the pushing force applied by the boy. We can calculate the force of friction using the formula: frictional force = coefficient of friction x normal force where the normal force is the force exerted by the floor on the box in a direction perpendicular to the floor. Since the box is not moving up or down, the normal force is equal to the weight of the box. The weight of the box can be calculated using the formula: weight = mass x gravity where mass is the mass of the box and gravity is the acceleration due to gravity (9.8 m/s^2). So, the weight of the box is: weight = 500 kg x 9.8 m/s^2 = 4900 N The force of friction is equal to the pushing force of 2000N, so we can set these two equal to each other and solve for the coefficient of friction: frictional force = 2000N coefficient of friction x normal force = 2000N coefficient of friction x 4900N = 2000N coefficient of friction = 2000N / 4900N = 0.408 So, the coefficient of friction between the box and the floor is approximately 0.4. Therefore, the correct answer is 0.4.

Bayanin Amsa
The equilibrium position of an object in any field corresponds to the situation of minimum potential energy. This means that at the equilibrium position, the object has the lowest possible potential energy within the field. In other words, the forces acting on the object are balanced, and the object is not being pushed or pulled in any direction. Therefore, the object will remain at rest at the equilibrium position unless it is acted upon by an external force. Of the options given, the correct answer is "minimum potential energy".

The lower fixed part of a faulty thermometer reads 2°C while the upper fixed point is 100°C.
What is the true temperature when the thermometer reads 51°C?
Bayanin Amsa
Since the thermometer is faulty, it is not measuring the temperature accurately. To find the true temperature, we need to determine the extent of the error in the thermometer. We can do this by comparing the difference between the lower fixed point and the reading with the difference between the upper fixed point and the true temperature. Since the lower fixed point reads 2°C and the upper fixed point reads 100°C, and the thermometer reading is 51°C, we can calculate the error as follows: True temperature = (51°C - 2°C) / (51°C - 2°C) * (100°C - 51°C) + 51°C = 50°C So, the true temperature when the thermometer reads 51°C is 50°C, which is option B.

According to the kinetic molecular model, in gases, the molecules are very fast apart and occupy all the space made available. This means that gas molecules are in constant random motion and they move freely in all directions without any regular arrangement. They collide with each other and with the walls of the container, exerting pressure. The temperature of the gas is related to the average kinetic energy of the gas molecules. The higher the temperature, the faster the gas molecules move, and the higher the kinetic energy.

Bayanin Amsa
The centripetal force is the force that acts towards the center and keeps an object moving in a circular path. To calculate the centripetal force, we can use the following formula: f = m * v^2 / r where: - f = centripetal force - m = mass of the object (0.5 kg) - v = velocity of the object (2 rev/s * 2 * pi m/rev = 12.57 m/s) - r = radius of the circle (2 m) Plugging in the values, we get: f = 0.5 kg * 12.57 m/s^2 / 2 m f = 31.43 N Rounding to the nearest whole number, the centripetal force is 31 N. So, the closest answer from the options is 160N.

Electrons were discovered by J.J. Thompson. In the late 19th century, he performed a series of experiments using cathode ray tubes, which are glass tubes containing low-pressure gas and electrodes. By applying high voltage, he observed a beam of negatively charged particles traveling from the negative electrode to the positive electrode. He concluded that these particles, which he called "corpuscles," were fundamental units of negative charge and later were renamed electrons. This discovery led to the development of the modern understanding of atomic structure and the electron's role in it.

Bayanin Amsa
The Earth has a magnetic field that is generated by the movement of molten iron in its core. The magnetic field has different properties at different locations on the Earth's surface. The magnetic equator is an imaginary line on the Earth's surface where the inclination or tilt of the Earth's magnetic field is zero, meaning that the magnetic field lines are parallel to the Earth's surface. At Jos, Nigeria, the Earth's magnetic equator passes through, which means that the angle of inclination or dip of the Earth's magnetic field is zero. Therefore, the correct answer is that the angle of dip is zero. This means that a magnetic needle suspended by a thread or placed on a horizontal surface would remain horizontal and not point downwards or upwards, as it would at other locations on the Earth's surface. This makes Jos an important location for studying the Earth's magnetic field and for conducting experiments related to magnetism.

A thermocouple thermometer is connected to a millivoltmeter which can read up to 10mV. When one junction is in ice at 0°C and the other is steam at 100°C, the millivoltmeter reads 4mV. What is the maximum temperature which this arrangement can measure
Bayanin Amsa
The maximum temperature which this arrangement can measure is 250°C. A thermocouple thermometer works by using the thermoelectric effect, which is the phenomenon that occurs when two dissimilar metals are joined together to form a loop and a temperature difference is established between the two junctions. This temperature difference generates a small electrical voltage, which can be measured using a millivoltmeter. The voltage generated is proportional to the temperature difference between the two junctions. In the case of the thermocouple thermometer described, one junction is in ice at 0°C and the other is steam at 100°C, and the millivoltmeter reads 4mV. This means that the voltage generated by the thermocouple is 4 millivolts, which corresponds to a temperature difference of 100°C. However, the millivoltmeter can only read up to 10mV, so the maximum temperature difference it can measure is 10mV / 4mV/°C = 250°C. This means that the maximum temperature which this arrangement can measure is 250°C.

Bayanin Amsa
The volume of a stone with an irregular shape can be determined using a measuring cylinder. A measuring cylinder is a glass or plastic container with a narrow cylindrical shape and markings on the side to indicate the volume it contains. To determine the volume of an irregularly shaped stone, you would fill the measuring cylinder with water, carefully lower the stone into the water, and note the increase in the volume of the water. The difference in the volume of the water before and after the stone was added is equal to the volume of the stone. The meter rule, vernier calliper, and micrometer screw gauge are all measuring instruments, but they are not designed to measure the volume of irregularly shaped objects.

The diagram shows four positions of the bob of a simple pendulum. At which of these positions does the bob have maximum kinetic energy and minimum potential energy
Bayanin Amsa
At position 1, the bob of the simple pendulum has the maximum potential energy and zero kinetic energy. At position 4, the bob has the maximum kinetic energy and minimum potential energy. To understand this, we need to know that the energy of a simple pendulum is converted back and forth between kinetic energy and potential energy as it swings back and forth. When the bob is at its highest point (position 1), it has the maximum potential energy because it is farthest from the ground and has the most potential to move downward. At this point, the bob has zero kinetic energy because it is momentarily at rest. As the bob swings downward towards the equilibrium point, it gains speed and its potential energy is converted to kinetic energy. At the equilibrium point (position 2), the bob has equal amounts of kinetic and potential energy. As the bob continues to move downward, its potential energy decreases and its kinetic energy increases. At position 3, the bob has minimum potential energy and some amount of kinetic energy. At the lowest point of its swing (position 4), the bob has maximum kinetic energy because it is moving at its fastest speed. At this point, the bob has minimum potential energy because it is closest to the ground and has the least amount of potential to move downward. So, to summarize, the bob has maximum potential energy at position 1, equal amounts of kinetic and potential energy at position 2, minimum potential energy at position 3, and maximum kinetic energy at position 4.

Which of the following equations is the correct definition of the reactance of an indicator L?
Bayanin Amsa
The correct definition of the reactance of an inductor L is: Reactance = (Amplitude of voltage) ÷ (Amplitude of current) The reactance of an inductor is a measure of the opposition offered by the inductor to the flow of alternating current (AC). It is denoted by the symbol Xl and is measured in ohms. When AC flows through an inductor, a magnetic field is generated around the inductor, which opposes any changes in the current flowing through it. This opposition to the flow of current is called reactance. The reactance of an inductor depends on its inductance, frequency of the AC signal, and the amplitude of the AC signal. However, the reactance of an inductor is directly proportional to the frequency of the AC signal and the inductance of the inductor. The reactance of an inductor is also affected by the amplitude of the AC signal, but this effect is not as significant as the other two factors. is the correct definition of the reactance of an inductor, as it expresses the ratio of the amplitude of voltage to the amplitude of current, which is a common way to define reactance. is incorrect, as it represents the power delivered by the AC signal, not the reactance. and are also incorrect, as they involve squaring either the amplitude of current or the amplitude of voltage, which is not a valid method of calculating reactance.

A straight wire 15cm long, carrying a current of 6.0A is in a uniform field of 0.40T. What is the force on the wire when it is at right angle to the field
Bayanin Amsa
The force on a current-carrying wire in a uniform magnetic field can be calculated using the equation: F = BILsinθ where F is the force in Newtons, B is the magnetic field strength in Tesla, I is the current in Amperes, L is the length of the wire in meters, and θ is the angle between the wire and the magnetic field. In this problem, the wire is 15cm long (0.15m), carrying a current of 6.0A, and the magnetic field is 0.40T. The angle between the wire and the magnetic field is 90 degrees (since the wire is at right angles to the field). Substituting the given values into the equation, we get: F = (0.40T)(6.0A)(0.15m)sin90 sin90 = 1, so we can simplify the equation to: F = (0.40T)(6.0A)(0.15m) F = 0.36N Therefore, the force on the wire is 0.36N.

Semiconductors are materials with properties that are in between those of conductors (e.g. metals) and insulators (e.g. rubber). At room temperature, a semiconductor crystal contains both free electrons and positively charged vacancies called holes. When a voltage is applied across the semiconductor, the electrons move towards the positive end of the circuit and the holes move towards the negative end. This movement of charge carriers constitutes an electric current. In summary, both electrons and holes can carry current in a semiconductor at room temperature, making the correct answer.

An alternating current can induce voltage because it has
Bayanin Amsa
An alternating current can induce voltage because it has a varying magnetic field. An alternating current (AC) is an electrical current that periodically reverses direction, unlike direct current (DC), which flows in one direction. When an AC current flows through a wire, it generates a magnetic field that changes direction with the current. As the current alternates, the magnetic field expands and contracts, inducing an electromotive force (EMF) in any nearby conductor or coil of wire. This phenomenon is known as electromagnetic induction, and it is the basis for the operation of many electrical devices, such as generators and transformers. The induced voltage depends on the strength and rate of change of the magnetic field and the number of turns in the coil. In summary, an alternating current can induce voltage because it creates a varying magnetic field, which in turn generates an electromotive force in nearby conductors or coils of wire, according to the principle of electromagnetic induction.

A body was slightly displaced from its equilibrium position. Which one of the following is a condition for its stable equilibrium
Bayanin Amsa
The condition for stable equilibrium of a body that has been slightly displaced from its equilibrium position is "an increase in the potential energy of the body." When an object is at its equilibrium position, it has a minimum potential energy. When the object is displaced from its equilibrium position, it has a higher potential energy. For the object to be in stable equilibrium, it must be able to return to its equilibrium position after it has been displaced. If the potential energy of the object increases as it is displaced, it means that the equilibrium position is a point of stable equilibrium. This is because the object will experience a restoring force that will push it back towards its equilibrium position, as the potential energy decreases. Therefore, an increase in potential energy is a condition for a body to be in stable equilibrium after it has been slightly displaced from its equilibrium position. An increase in kinetic energy or height does not necessarily indicate stability, as it depends on the specific situation and other factors at play.

I. Lagging the Calorimeter

III. Weighing the calorimeter, the lid and the stirrer.
Bayanin Amsa
The assumption 'Heat lost by the hot body equals that gained by the cold one' is based on the law of conservation of energy, which states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transferred from one system to another. Thus, to validate this assumption, it's important to have a well-designed and insulated calorimeter so that as little heat as possible is lost to the environment. This is accomplished by lagging the calorimeter (Option I). Additionally, using the correct units (Option II) helps ensure that the energy transfer is accurately calculated and reported. Weighing the calorimeter, the lid, and the stirrer (Option III) is important for accurately measuring the amount of heat transferred, but by itself is not enough to validate the assumption. Therefore, the correct answer is "I and III only".
