A cell of e.m.f. 1.5V and internal resistance of 2.5Ω is connected in series with an ammeter of resistance 0.5W and a resistor of resistance of 7.0Ω. Calculate the current in the circuit.
A ball is dropped from a height of 45m above the ground. Calculate the velocity of the ball just before it strikes the ground. (Neglect air resistance and take g as (10ms^{-2})
A body accelerates uniformly from rest at (2ms^{-2}). Calculate the velocity after traveling 9m
A metal rod of length 40cm at 20°C is heated to a temperature of 45°C. If the new length of the rod is 40.05cm. Calculate its linear expansitivity
500g of water is heated so that its temperature rises from 30°C to 72°C in 7 minutes. calculate the supplied per minute. (Specific heat capacity of water is 4200J(kg^{-1}K^{-1})
An electric kettle rated 1500W boils away 0.3kg of a liquid at its boiling point every 300s. Calculate the specific latent heat of the vaporisation of the liquid
(500cm^{-3}) of a gas is collected at 0°C and at a pressure of 72cm of mercury. What is the volume of the the gas at the same temperature and at a pressure of 76cm of the same mercury?
The pressure of air in a tire is (22.5Nm^{-2}) at 27°C. If the air in the tyre heats up to 47°C, calculate the new pressure of the air, assuming that no air leaks out and that the change in volume of the air can be neglected.
Calculate the time taken to heat 2kg of water from 50°C to 100°C in an electric kettle taking 5A, from a 210V supply. (Specific heat capacity of water = 4200(kg^{-1}K{-1})
