A body of mass 100g moving with a velocity if 10ms-1 collides with a wall. If after collision it moves with a velocity of 2.0ms−1 in the opposite direction, calculate the change in momentum.

Awọn alaye Idahun

Momentum = Mass x Velocity
Change in Momentum = Mass x (change in velocity)
Change in Momentum = Mass x (v - u)
Mass = 100g = 0.1kg
U = 2ms${}^{-1}$
V = 10ms${}^{-1}$
Change in momentum = m (v − u)
= 0.1 (10 − 2)
= 0.1 (8)
= 0.8Ns

When an atom loses or gain a charge it becomes

Awọn alaye Idahun

When an atom loses or gains a charge, it becomes an ion. An ion is a type of atom that has an unequal number of protons and electrons, giving it a net electrical charge. If an atom loses one or more electrons, it becomes positively charged and is called a cation. On the other hand, if an atom gains one or more electrons, it becomes negatively charged and is called an anion. So, in summary, an atom can lose or gain electrons to become an ion, which has a net electrical charge.

The differences observed in solids, liquids and gases may be accounted for by

Awọn alaye Idahun

The differences observed in solids, liquids, and gases can be accounted for by the spacing and forces acting between the molecules. In a solid, the molecules are packed closely together, so they have a fixed shape and volume. The intermolecular forces are strong enough to keep the molecules in a fixed position relative to one another. In a liquid, the molecules are still close together, but they are free to move around each other. The intermolecular forces are weaker than in a solid, so the molecules can slide past one another, giving the liquid its ability to flow and take the shape of its container. In a gas, the molecules are widely spaced and are in constant motion. The intermolecular forces are very weak, so the molecules are free to move around and fill any available space. Gases have no fixed shape or volume. So, the differences observed in solids, liquids, and gases can be explained by the spacing and forces acting between the molecules. It's not about their relative masses, melting points, or the different molecules in each of them.

Which of the following is the dimension of pressure

Awọn alaye Idahun

The dimension of pressure is ML^-1T^-2 Pressure is defined as the force per unit area. This means that pressure is dependent on the force applied and the area over which it is applied. The unit of force is measured in Newtons (N), and the unit of area is measured in square meters (m²). Therefore, the unit of pressure is N/m², which is also known as Pascals (Pa). To determine the dimension of pressure, we need to break down the units into their fundamental dimensions of mass (M), length (L), and time (T). Force is measured in N, which is kg m/s². Area is measured in m², which is L². Therefore, the dimension of pressure can be calculated as (kg m/s²)/(L²), which simplifies to ML^-1T^-2.

Awọn alaye Idahun

The man first walks 1 km due east, which means he has moved 1 km horizontally to the right of his starting point. Then, he walks 1 km due north, which means he has moved 1 km vertically upwards from his previous position. To find his displacement, we need to draw a straight line from his starting point to his final position, which represents the shortest distance between the two points. This line is called the displacement vector. We can use the Pythagorean theorem to calculate the length of the displacement vector. The horizontal and vertical distances are the two legs of a right-angled triangle, and the hypotenuse is the length of the displacement vector. Using the Pythagorean theorem, we get: displacement = √((1 km)^2 + (1 km)^2) = √2 km The direction of the displacement vector is the angle between the displacement vector and the due north direction. We can find this angle using trigonometry. The tangent of the angle is the ratio of the horizontal distance to the vertical distance: tan(θ) = (1 km) / (1 km) = 1 Using a calculator, we can find that the angle is 45°. Therefore, the man's displacement is √2 km in the direction N 45° E. So, the correct answer is √2km N 45°E.

A boy receives the echo of his clap reflected by a nearby hill 0.8s later. If the speed of sound in air is 3.40ms${}^{-}1$, how far is he from the hill?

Awọn alaye Idahun

The speed of sound in air is given as 3.40 m/s. The echo of the clap is heard 0.8 seconds after it was produced, which means it traveled to the hill and back. The time taken for sound to travel to the hill is half of the time taken for it to travel to and from the hill. Therefore, the time taken for sound to travel to the hill is 0.8/2 = 0.4 seconds. We can use the formula: distance = speed x time to calculate the distance between the boy and the hill. distance = speed of sound x time taken for sound to travel to the hill distance = 3.40 m/s x 0.4 s distance = 1.36 m Therefore, the distance between the boy and the hill is 1.36 meters. However, the answer options provided are in meters and are significantly larger than 1.36 meters. It is possible that the speed of sound provided in the question is incorrect or the answer options are incorrect.

Which of the following best describes the energy changes which take place when a steam engine drives a generator which lights a lamp?

Awọn alaye Idahun

The energy changes that take place when a steam engine drives a generator which lights a lamp can be described as: Heat energy from burning fuel is used to create steam in the boiler of the steam engine. This steam is then used to drive the turbine, which generates kinetic energy as it spins. The kinetic energy is transferred to the generator, which converts it into electrical energy (electricity). The electricity then flows through the wires to the lamp, where it is converted back into light energy, which is what we see. Therefore, the correct option would be: Heat ----> Kinetic ----> Electricity ----> Light

The process whereby a liquid turns spontaneously into vapour is called

Awọn alaye Idahun

The process whereby a liquid turns spontaneously into vapor is called evaporation. Evaporation is the process by which a liquid changes into a gas at a temperature below its boiling point. This happens when the molecules of the liquid gain enough energy to escape from the surface of the liquid into the air as a gas. The rate of evaporation depends on factors such as the temperature, the humidity of the air, and the surface area of the liquid. For example, a shallow pool of water will evaporate faster than a deep one because it has a larger surface area. Boiling, on the other hand, is the process by which a liquid changes into a gas at its boiling point. This happens when the pressure of the gas generated by the boiling liquid is equal to the atmospheric pressure. The temperature remains constant during boiling. Regelation and sublimation are different processes altogether. Regelation is the process by which a solid changes into a liquid when it is subjected to pressure. Sublimation is the process by which a solid changes directly into a gas, bypassing the liquid state.

Which of the following statements are TRUE of isotopes?

I. Isotopes of an element have the same chemical properties because they have the same number of electrons

II. Isotopes of elements are normally separated using physical properties

III. Isotopes of an element have the same number of protons in their nuclei

Awọn alaye Idahun

The correct answer is "I and III only". Isotopes of an element have the same number of protons in their nuclei, meaning they have the same atomic number and are therefore the same element. Because of this, they have the same chemical properties. However, isotopes of an element have different numbers of neutrons in their nuclei, which means they have different atomic masses. This is why isotopes can be separated using physical properties such as their mass or other characteristics related to their mass.

A man hears his echo from a nearby hill 2s after he shouted. If the frequency of his voice is 260Hz and the wavelength is 1.29m, how far away is the hill

Awọn alaye Idahun

The speed of sound in air is approximately 343 meters per second at room temperature. The formula for the speed of sound is:

Speed of sound = Frequency × Wavelength

In this problem, we are given the frequency (260 Hz) and the wavelength (1.29 m) of the sound wave. We can use these values to calculate the speed of sound:

Speed of sound = 260 Hz × 1.29 m = 335.4 m/s

Next, we need to use the fact that the man hears his echo 2 seconds after he shouted. Since the sound wave traveled from the man to the hill and then back to the man, the total distance traveled by the sound wave is twice the distance from the man to the hill. We can use the formula:

Distance = Speed × Time

to calculate the distance from the man to the hill:

Distance = (335.4 m/s) × (2 s/2) = 335.4 m

Therefore, the hill is 335.4 meters away from the man. The answer is option (B), 335.4m.

A ball of mass 800g moving horizontally with a speed of 5m/s hits a vertical wall and rebounds with the same speed. The impulse experienced by the ball is?

Awọn alaye Idahun

The impulse experienced by the ball can be calculated using the principle of conservation of momentum, which states that the total momentum before the collision is equal to the total momentum after the collision. In this case, the momentum of the ball before the collision is: p1 = m * v1 where m is the mass of the ball and v1 is its velocity before the collision. Substituting the values given in the problem, we get: p1 = 0.8 kg * 5 m/s = 4 kg m/s After the collision, the ball rebounds with the same speed but in the opposite direction, so its velocity after the collision is: v2 = -5 m/s The momentum of the ball after the collision is: p2 = m * v2 Substituting the values, we get: p2 = 0.8 kg * (-5 m/s) = -4 kg m/s The negative sign indicates that the direction of the momentum is opposite to that before the collision. The change in momentum of the ball is given by: Δp = p2 - p1 Substituting the values, we get: Δp = (-4 kg m/s) - (4 kg m/s) = -8 kg m/s The negative sign indicates that the impulse experienced by the ball is in the opposite direction to its initial momentum, which is the direction of the wall. Therefore, the impulse experienced by the ball is 8 kg m/s. Therefore, the correct option is: 8kgm/s.

Awọn alaye Idahun

The photocell works on the principle of the emission of electrons by incident radiation. In simple terms, a photocell is a device that converts light energy into electrical energy. It does this by using a material (such as silicon) that releases electrons when it is exposed to light. These electrons can then be collected and used to produce a current, which can be used to power an electrical device. The more light that hits the photocell, the more electrons are released and the greater the electrical current.

A ball of mass 5.0kg hits a smooth vertical wall normally with a speed of 2ms${}^{?1}$. Determine the magnitude of the resulting impulse

Awọn alaye Idahun

The magnitude of the resulting impulse can be calculated using the formula impulse = change in momentum. In this scenario, the ball experiences a change in velocity (speed) as it hits the wall. The ball's initial momentum is equal to its mass times its velocity, and its final momentum is zero since it comes to a stop after hitting the wall. The change in momentum is equal to the final momentum minus the initial momentum, which is equal to the negative of the initial momentum. Since the ball has a mass of 5.0 kg and a velocity of 2 m/s, its initial momentum is 5.0 kg * 2 m/s = 10.0 kg m/s. Therefore, the change in momentum is -10.0 kg m/s and the magnitude of the resulting impulse is 10.0 kg m/s, which is equal to 10.0 Ns. So, the correct answer is 10.0kgms−1.

Mercury which is spilled onto a glass surface forms ball-like shapes because____.

Awọn alaye Idahun

In case of small drops of mercury, the gravitational potential energy is negligible in comparison to the potential energy due to surface tension.Consequently, to keep the drop in equilibrium, the mercury drop’s surface tends to contract so that its surface area will be the least for a sphere and the drops will be spherical.
But in the case of bigger drops of mercury, the potential energy due to gravity is predominant over the potential energy due to surface tension.Consequently, to keep equilibrium , the mercury drop tends to assume minimum potential energy as possible, the drop becomes oval in shape and lower center of gravity.

Electrical power is transmitted at a high voltage rather than a low voltage because the amount of energy loss is due to

Awọn alaye Idahun

The primary reason that power is transmitted at high voltages is to increase efficiency. As electricity is transmitted over long distances, there are inherent energy losses along the way. High voltage transmission minimizes the amount of power lost as electricity flows from one location to the next. How? The higher the voltage, the lower the current. The lower the current, the lower the resistance losses in the conductors. And when resistance losses are low, energy losses are low also. Electrical engineers consider factors such as the power being transmitted and the distance required for transmission when determining the optimal transmission voltage

An object moves in a circular path of radius 0.5m with a speed of 1ms${}^{-1}$. What is its angular velocity?

Awọn alaye Idahun

Angular velocity is a measure of how fast an object is rotating around a center point. It's usually measured in radians per second (rad/s). To calculate angular velocity, we use the formula: angular velocity = linear velocity / radius. In this case, the linear velocity is 1 m/s, and the radius is 0.5 m. So, the angular velocity would be: 1 m/s / 0.5 m = 2 rad/s Therefore, the answer is 2 rad/s or 2rads^-1

The energy needed to move a unit positive charge around a complete electric circuit is called the

Awọn alaye Idahun

The energy needed to move a unit positive charge around a complete electric circuit is called the "electromotive force", also known as "emf". This is because the emf is what drives the flow of electric charge, or current, around the circuit. Think of it like a battery in a flashlight. The battery provides the emf that drives the flow of electric current through the wires and the light bulb. Without the emf from the battery, the electric charges wouldn't be able to flow and the light wouldn't turn on. The other answer options, such as electric potential difference and electric energy, are related to the emf but don't specifically refer to the energy needed to move a unit positive charge around a circuit. Kinetic energy, on the other hand, is not related to the movement of electric charges around a circuit at all.

The friction which exist between two layers of liquid in relative motion is called

Awọn alaye Idahun

The correct answer is "Viscosity". Viscosity is the property of a fluid that describes its resistance to flow. When two layers of liquid are in relative motion, the viscosity of the liquid causes friction between the layers. This friction creates a resistance to the movement of one layer past the other. The greater the viscosity of the liquid, the greater the friction and the more difficult it is for the layers to move past each other. This property is important in many industrial and natural processes, such as the flow of oil in pipelines or the movement of blood through the human body.

Awọn alaye Idahun

Convex mirrors are used as driving mirrors because the images formed by them are "erect, virtual, and diminished." Let me explain what these terms mean: - Erect: It means that the image appears upright, just like the actual object. This is important for a driving mirror because it allows the driver to perceive the correct orientation of the vehicles behind them. - Virtual: It means that the image appears to be behind the mirror, and not in front of it. This is also important for a driving mirror because it allows the driver to see a wider field of view without having to turn their head. - Diminished: It means that the image is smaller than the actual object. This is important for a driving mirror because it allows the driver to see a larger area behind them while still fitting it within the mirror's frame. Overall, these properties make convex mirrors ideal for use as driving mirrors as they provide the driver with an accurate view of the vehicles behind them without sacrificing their field of view.

The amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of 10kg of Copper by 1K is its

Awọn alaye Idahun

The correct answer is "specific heat capacity." Specific heat capacity is a measure of how much heat energy is required to raise the temperature of a certain amount of a substance by 1 degree Celsius (or 1 Kelvin, which is the same size as 1 degree Celsius). In this case, we are dealing with 10kg of copper, so we need to know the specific heat capacity of copper. The specific heat capacity of copper is 0.385 J/g°C (joules per gram per degree Celsius). To calculate the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of 10kg of copper by 1K, we need to know the total mass of copper (10kg) and the specific heat capacity of copper (0.385 J/g°C). The formula for calculating the amount of heat energy required is: Heat energy = mass x specific heat capacity x change in temperature Since we want to raise the temperature by 1K, the change in temperature is 1K. So, the amount of heat energy required to raise the temperature of 10kg of copper by 1K is: Heat energy = 10kg x 0.385 J/g°C x 1K = 3.85 kJ Therefore, it takes 3.85 kilojoules (kJ) of heat energy to raise the temperature of 10kg of copper by 1K.

Which of the following is true of an electrical charge?

The correct answer is option D: "All of the above." An electrical charge refers to the presence of an excess or deficit of electrons in an atom or molecule. In this context, positive charge means a deficit of electrons, whereas negative charge means an excess of electrons. Electric current refers to the flow of charged particles, typically electrons, through a conductor. Therefore, an electric current means the movement of electrons. In summary, all of the given options are true of an electrical charge, and they all relate to the behavior of electrons in an electrically charged system.

Which of the following phenomena is the practical evidence for the existence of the continual motion of molecules.

Awọn alaye Idahun

Brownian motion is the practical evidence for the existence of the continual motion of molecules. This phenomenon is observed as the random movement of particles suspended in a fluid, such as a liquid or a gas, due to the constant bombardment of the fluid molecules. It was first described by the Scottish botanist Robert Brown in 1827 and provides strong evidence for the kinetic theory of matter, which states that all matter is made up of constantly moving particles. The random movement of the suspended particles can be observed through a microscope and is a direct result of the continual motion of the fluid molecules.

An object is placed 20cm from a concave mirror of focal length 10cm. The linear magnification of the image produced is?

Awọn alaye Idahun

The linear magnification of an image is given by the formula: magnification = height of image / height of object = -v/u where v is the image distance, u is the object distance, and the negative sign indicates that the image is inverted. In this problem, the object is placed 20cm from a concave mirror of focal length 10cm. Since the object is placed beyond the focal point, the image will be real and inverted. Using the mirror formula 1/f = 1/v + 1/u, we can find the image distance v: 1/10 = 1/v + 1/20 Solving for v, we get: v = -20 cm Now, we can use the magnification formula to find the linear magnification: magnification = -v/u = -(-20)/20 = 1 Therefore, the linear magnification of the image produced is 1, which means the image is the same size as the object and is also inverted. The answer is: 1.

Different musical instruments playing the same note can be distinguished from one another due to the difference in their "timbre" or "tone color." Timbre refers to the unique character or quality of a sound that allows us to distinguish it from other sounds even when they have the same pitch and loudness. For example, a piano and a guitar playing the same note will sound different due to the differences in their timbre. This is why we can tell the difference between different instruments and why some instruments are better suited to certain styles of music than others.

Awọn alaye Idahun

Electrical appliances in homes are normally earthed so that a person touching the appliances is safe from electric shock. Earthing provides a safety mechanism by connecting the metal case of an electrical appliance to the earth through a conductor. In the event of a fault in the appliance, such as a short circuit, the current will flow through the earth wire instead of the person's body, preventing electric shock. By connecting the metal case of an appliance to the earth, the potential difference (PD) between the appliance and the earth is reduced to zero, ensuring that the appliance is maintained at a lower PD than the earth. Therefore, "the appliances are maintained at a lower pd than the earth" is the correct answer.

The product of force and time is?

Awọn alaye Idahun

The product of force and time is known as impulse. Impulse can be defined as the change in momentum that an object experiences as a result of a force being applied to it over a period of time. In simpler terms, impulse is the "push" that an object receives from a force acting on it for a certain amount of time. The more force applied, or the longer the time the force is applied, the greater the impulse and the greater the change in momentum of the object. It's important to note that impulse is a vector quantity, meaning it has both magnitude and direction. Impulse is a measure of the ability of a force to cause an object to change its velocity, and can be used to explain many phenomena in physics, such as why a heavy object is harder to stop than a lighter one, or why a soccer ball changes direction when it is kicked.

A resistor connected to a 12V battery draws a current of 2A. The energy dispatched in the resistor in 5 minutes is ___.

Awọn alaye Idahun

To calculate the energy dispatched in the resistor, we need to use the formula: Energy = Power x Time Where Power is the amount of electrical power consumed by the resistor, and is equal to the product of the voltage across the resistor and the current flowing through it: Power = Voltage x Current In this case, the voltage across the resistor is 12V, and the current flowing through it is 2A. Therefore, the power consumed by the resistor is: Power = 12V x 2A = 24W Now, we can substitute this value of power along with the given time of 5 minutes into the formula for energy: Energy = 24W x 5min x 60s/min = 7,200J Therefore, the energy dispatched in the resistor in 5 minutes is 7,200J. is the correct answer.

The type of reaction represented by the given scheme is a nuclear fission reaction. Nuclear fission is a process where a heavy nucleus is split into smaller nuclei with the release of energy. In the given scheme, a heavy element X is split into two lighter elements, Y and Z, along with the release of energy and some neutrons (n). In a nuclear fission reaction, a neutron is usually absorbed by the nucleus of the heavy element, which then becomes unstable and splits into two smaller nuclei and some neutrons. These neutrons can then go on to split other heavy nuclei, resulting in a chain reaction. In the given scheme, the release of energy and the presence of neutrons suggest that it is a fission reaction. Moreover, the scheme depicts the process of splitting a heavy element into two lighter elements, which is a characteristic of a fission reaction. Therefore, the type of reaction represented by the given scheme is a nuclear fission reaction.

Which of the following instruments is most suitable for measuring the outside diameter of a narrow pipe in a few millimeters in diameter?

Awọn alaye Idahun

The most suitable instrument for measuring the outside diameter of a narrow pipe in a few millimeters in diameter is a micrometer screw gauge. A micrometer screw gauge is a precision measuring instrument that can accurately measure small dimensions with high accuracy. It has a spindle that moves towards an anvil and a scale that indicates the measurement. The spindle moves in response to a small rotation of the thimble, allowing for precise and sensitive measurements. In contrast, a pair of calipers or a meter rule may not be accurate enough for measuring such small dimensions, and a tape rule may not be able to fit inside the narrow pipe. Therefore, a micrometer screw gauge is the most suitable option for measuring the outside diameter of a narrow pipe in a few millimeters in diameter.

A lens of focal length 15cm forms on erect image which is three times the size of the object. The distance between the object and the image is ___.

Awọn alaye Idahun

We can use the lens formula, 1/f = 1/v - 1/u, where f is the focal length of the lens, v is the distance between the lens and the image, and u is the distance between the lens and the object. From the problem, we know that the focal length of the lens is 15 cm, and the image is erect and three times the size of the object. This means that the image distance v is positive and the object distance u is negative (since the object is in front of the lens). Let's assume that the object distance u is -x cm, where x is a positive number. Then, the image distance v is +3x cm, since the image is three times the size of the object. Substituting these values into the lens formula, we get: 1/15 = 1/(+3x) - 1/(-x) Simplifying the right-hand side, we get: 1/15 = (1 + 3)/3x Multiplying both sides by 3x, we get: 3x/15 = 4 Simplifying, we get: x = 20 Therefore, the distance between the object and the lens is -20 cm (since it is in front of the lens), and the distance between the image and the lens is +60 cm (since it is behind the lens). The distance between the object and the image is the sum of these distances, which is: (-20) + (+60) = 40 cm Therefore, the answer is 40cm.

Water of mass 150g at 60${}^o$c is added to 300g of water at 20${}^o$c and the mixture is well stirred. Calculate the temperature of the mixture.(neglect heat losses to the surroundings)

Awọn alaye Idahun

To solve this problem, we can use the principle of conservation of energy, which states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transferred or converted from one form to another. In this case, the energy transferred is in the form of heat. We can use the formula: Q = m*c*(ΔT) where Q is the heat transferred, m is the mass of the water, c is the specific heat capacity of water, and ΔT is the change in temperature. First, we can calculate the heat transferred from the hot water to the cold water: Q1 = 150g * 4.18 J/(g°C) * (60°C - T) Q1 = 627 * (60 - T) where T is the temperature of the mixture. Next, we can calculate the heat transferred from the cold water to reach the final temperature of the mixture: Q2 = 300g * 4.18 J/(g°C) * (T - 20°C) Q2 = 1254 * (T - 20) Since the heat transferred between the two water samples must be equal, we can set Q1 equal to Q2 and solve for T: 627 * (60 - T) = 1254 * (T - 20) 37620 - 627T = 1254T - 25080 1881T = 62760 T = 33.4°C Therefore, the temperature of the mixture is approximately 33°C.

Which of the following does NOT describe the Image formed by a plane minor?

Awọn alaye Idahun

The option that does NOT describe the image formed by a plane mirror is "Magnified". When an object is placed in front of a plane mirror, the image formed is: 1. Erect: The orientation of the object in the mirror is the same as the orientation of the object in real life. For example, if you raise your right hand in front of a plane mirror, the image in the mirror will also show your right hand raised. 2. Laterally inverted: The image formed in the mirror is flipped horizontally, which means that the left side of the object appears on the right side of the image and vice versa. For example, if you wear a shirt with the letter "H" on it and look at it in a plane mirror, the image will show the letter "H" flipped horizontally. 3. Same distance from the mirror as object: The image formed in the mirror is located behind the mirror at the same distance as the object is located in front of the mirror. For example, if you stand 1 meter away from a plane mirror, the image of yourself will also be located 1 meter away from the mirror, behind the mirror. 4. NOT magnified: The image formed in the plane mirror is of the same size as the object, which means that there is no magnification or reduction in the size of the image. For example, if you stand in front of a plane mirror with a height of 1 meter, the image of yourself in the mirror will also have a height of 1 meter. Therefore, the correct answer is "Magnified", as the image formed by a plane mirror is not magnified.
