The mass attached to a string is moving in a circular path. If the speed is doubled, the tension in the string will be
An object of mass 2kg moving with a velocity 3ms-11 collides head-on with another object of mass 1kg moving in the opposite direction with a velocity of 4ms-1. If the objects stick together after collision, calculate their common speed.
A ball is dropped and it hits the floor at a point A. It rebounds upward to a point B. While moving from A to B its
Which of the following devices convert heat energy to electrical energy?
An object of mass 0.25kg moves at a height h above the ground with a speed of 4ms-1, if its mechanical energy at this height is 12 J, determine the value of h. [g = 10ms-1]
Which of the following equations for the efficiency of a machine is correct?
The design of the thermostat of an electric iron is based on the
A metal rod of length 50cm is heated from 40oC to 80oC. If the linear expansivity of the material is (\alpha), calculate the increase in length of the rod (in metres) in terms of (\alpha)
The cubic expansivity of a certain gas at constant pressure is (\frac{1}{273} k^{-1}). If a given mass of the gas is held at constant pressure and its volume at 0oC is 273m3, determine the volume of the gas at 273oC.
