Frage 3 Bericht
Three resistors with resistance 200Ω, 500Ω and 1kΩ are connected in series. A 6v battery is connected to either end of the combination. Calculate the potential difference between the ends of 200Ω resistance.
Antwortdetails
To calculate the potential difference between the ends of the 200Ω resistance, we need to use Ohm's Law, which states that the potential difference (V) across a resistor is equal to the current (I) flowing through the resistor multiplied by the resistance (R) of the resistor. First, we need to find the total resistance of the series combination of resistors. We add up the individual resistances: Total resistance = 200Ω + 500Ω + 1kΩ = 1.7kΩ Next, we can use Ohm's Law to find the current flowing through the circuit. We know that the battery voltage is 6V, and the total resistance is 1.7kΩ: I = V / R = 6V / 1.7kΩ = 0.0035A Now we can use Ohm's Law again to find the potential difference across the 200Ω resistor: V = IR = 0.0035A * 200Ω = 0.7V Therefore, the potential difference between the ends of the 200Ω resistance is 0.7V. The correct answer is option B.
Frage 4 Bericht
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
Antwortdetails
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.
Frage 5 Bericht
Any line or section taken through an advancing wave in which all the particles are in the same phase is called the
Antwortdetails
The answer is: wave front. A wave front is any imaginary line or surface that connects all points of a wave that are in the same phase, meaning they are at the same point in their cycle. In other words, it is a line or surface that separates the points of a wave that are in-phase from those that are out-of-phase. For example, consider the ripples on the surface of a pond when a stone is thrown in. The wave fronts are the concentric circles that emanate from the point where the stone entered the water. All points along a given circle are in-phase, meaning the water molecules at those points are at the same point in their oscillation cycle. In summary, a wave front is a line or surface that separates points in a wave that are in-phase from those that are out-of-phase.

Frage 7 Bericht
Heat may be transferred by conduction, convention and radiation. By which of these methods does heat travel through vacuum?
Antwortdetails
Heat can be transferred by conduction, convection, and radiation. Conduction is the transfer of heat through a material by the movement of heat-carrying particles, such as atoms or molecules, from one part of the material to another. This method of heat transfer is not possible in a vacuum, as there are no particles present to carry heat. Convection is the transfer of heat by the movement of a fluid, such as air or water. This method of heat transfer is also not possible in a vacuum, as there are no fluids present to carry heat. Radiation is the transfer of heat through electromagnetic waves, such as light or infrared radiation. This method of heat transfer does not require any material or fluid medium, and can therefore occur in a vacuum. Therefore, the answer is "Radiation only".

Frage 13 Bericht
The statement 'Heat lost by the hot body equals that gained by the cold one' is assumed when determining specific that heat capacity by the method of mixtures. Which of the following validates the assumption?
I. Lagging the Calorimeter
II. Ensuring that only S.I units are used
III. Weighing the calorimeter, the lid and the stirrer.
Antwortdetails
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".

Frage 18 Bericht
The earth's gravitational field intensity at its surface is about
(G = 6.7 × 10−11 Nm2 /kg2 , mass of the earth is 6 × 1024 kg, radius of the earth is 6.4 × 106 m, g on the earth = 9.8m/s2 )
Antwortdetails
The earth's gravitational field intensity at its surface can be calculated using the formula: g = G * M / r^2 where G is the gravitational constant, M is the mass of the earth, r is the radius of the earth, and g is the gravitational field intensity at the surface of the earth. Substituting the given values, we get: g = (6.7 × 10^-11 Nm^2/kg^2) * (6 × 10^24 kg) / (6.4 × 10^6 m)^2 g = 9.8 N/kg (approx.) Therefore, the answer is 9.8N/kg.
Frage 19 Bericht
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
Antwortdetails
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.
Frage 20 Bericht

Antwortdetails
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.

Frage 22 Bericht

Antwortdetails
The man on the bench will exert the greatest pressure when he stands on the toes of one foot. This is because when he stands on one foot, all his weight is concentrated on a smaller surface area of the bench, resulting in more pressure. The pressure he exerts is calculated by dividing his weight by the surface area in contact with the bench. When he stands on one foot, the surface area is smaller, which means the pressure exerted is greater. In comparison, when he lies flat on his back or belly, or when he stands on both feet, his weight is distributed over a larger surface area, resulting in less pressure.

Antwortdetails
The point at which the molecules of a loaded wire begin to slide across each other resulting in a rapid increase in extension is called the yield point. At this point, the material no longer behaves elastically and becomes permanently deformed. The yield point is an important parameter in material science and engineering as it indicates the maximum stress a material can withstand before it begins to deform plastically. Therefore, the yield point is a critical factor to consider when designing materials for specific applications.

Frage 27 Bericht
Which of the following statements are correct of the production and propagation of waves?
I. vibration produces waves
II. waves transmit energy along the medium
III. the medium through which the wave travels does not travel with the wave
IV. waves do not require any medium for transmission
Antwortdetails
The correct statement is: I and II and III only. Explanation: - Statement I is correct because the production of waves involves some kind of disturbance that creates a vibration in the medium, which then propagates as a wave. - Statement II is correct because waves carry energy along the medium as they propagate. This is why waves can be used to transmit information or power over long distances. - Statement III is correct because the medium through which a wave travels does not move with the wave. Instead, the wave passes through the medium, causing it to oscillate or vibrate, but not to move along with the wave. - Statement IV is incorrect because most waves require a medium through which to propagate. For example, sound waves require air, water waves require water, and seismic waves require the Earth's crust. There are some types of waves, such as electromagnetic waves, that can propagate through a vacuum, but this is not true for all waves.

Frage 30 Bericht
Efficiency of conduction in liquids and gases compared to solids is
Antwortdetails
The efficiency of conduction in liquids and gases compared to solids is generally less efficient. This means that solids are better conductors of heat and electricity than liquids and gases. This is because the particles in solids are closely packed and are tightly bound to one another, allowing heat and electricity to flow easily through the material. On the other hand, the particles in liquids and gases are more spread out and less tightly bound, making it more difficult for heat and electricity to flow through these materials. However, it is important to note that the efficiency of conduction can vary depending on the specific liquid or gas and the specific solid being compared. Some liquids and gases may have properties that make them better conductors than certain solids, but this is not a general rule.
Frage 31 Bericht
A vibrator causes water ripples to travel across the surface of a tank. The wave travels 50cm in 2s and the distance between successive crests is 5cm. Calculate the frequency of the vibrator
Antwortdetails
The frequency of the vibrator can be calculated using the formula: frequency = speed / wavelength where speed is the speed of the wave, and wavelength is the distance between successive crests. In this case, we are given that the wave travels 50cm in 2s, which means the speed of the wave is: speed = distance / time = 50cm / 2s = 25cm/s We are also given that the distance between successive crests is 5cm, which is the wavelength. Therefore, the frequency of the vibrator is: frequency = speed / wavelength = 25cm/s / 5cm = 5Hz So the correct answer is 5Hz.

Antwortdetails
The part of the human eye that does similar work as the diaphragm of a camera lens is the iris. The iris is the colored part of the eye and is responsible for controlling the amount of light that enters the eye. Just like the diaphragm in a camera lens, the iris can adjust its size to allow more or less light into the eye. This helps to regulate the amount of light reaching the retina, which is responsible for sensing light and transmitting the image to the brain.

Frage 40 Bericht
During the transformation of matter from the solid to the liquid state, the heat supplied does not produce temperature increase because
Antwortdetails
When a solid is heated to its melting point, the heat supplied is used to overcome the intermolecular forces holding the molecules in a fixed position, resulting in the breaking of these bonds. As a result, the solid transforms into a liquid without any change in temperature. This is because the heat energy supplied is used in breaking the bonds between molecules rather than increasing the kinetic energy of the molecules, which is what causes an increase in temperature. Therefore, the correct option is: "all the heat is used to break the bonds holding the molecules of the solid together."
