Question 4 Report
Answer Details
f2 = ? T2 = 324N
But f ∝ √T => f = K√T
=> K = f/√T
∴ f1/√T1 = f2/√T2225/√225 = f2/√324
| f2 = | 225√225 |
| √225 |

Question 6 Report
Answer Details
v = -3u
f = 15cm
1/v + 1/U = 1/f1/-3U + 1/u = 1/152/3u = 1/15
3U = 15 x 2
U = 30/3
= 10 cm

Answer Details
(1)/L = (1)/4 + (1)/8 = (3)/8
∴ L = (8)/3
Energy stored = (1)/2 LI2
= (1)/2 x (8)/3 x 10 x 10 = (400)/3 = 133.3 J
Question 18 Report
Answer Details
while the energy required to raise the temperature of a unit mass of water from 0°c to 100°c = C x Dt = 4200 x 100 = 420000 = 4.2 x 105 JKg-1
? steam possesses greater heat energy per unit mass

A cannon is fired from town X,after how long is the sound heard at a town Y 4.95 km away?
[velocity of sound in the air = 330 ms-1]
Answer Details
330 = (2 x 4.95 x 103)/t
t = (9.9. x 103/330 = (9900)/330 = (90)/3
= 30 secs
Question 33 Report
Answer Details
(1)/r = (1)/v + (1)/u = (1)/-50 + (1)/25 = (1 + 2)/50 = (1)/50 f = +50cm = +0.5m
p = (1)/r = (1)/0.5 = (10)/5 = 2 diopters
The power of a lens is the reciprocal of the focal length in meters. it is expressed in diopters.
