Physics Questions and Answers

If you want to learn more about the nature and properties of matter and energy or you're simply preparing for a Physics exam, these Physics past questions and answers are ideal for you.

626.

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

A.

10cm

B.

20cm

C.

30cm

D.

40cm

Correct answer is D

F= 15cm

  M = 3

  M = vu

  V =3u

  1f = 1u + 1v

  115 = 1u - 13u

  115 =   23u

U =10cm

  D = u + v

  = 10 +30 = 40cm

627.

The image of an object is located 6cm behind a convex mirror. If it's magnification is 0.6, calculate the focal length of the mirror

A.

3.75cm

B.

6.70cm

C.

10.00cm

D.

-15.00cm

Correct answer is D

V = -6cm

M = 0.6cm

Recall m = VU

U = VM

U = 60.6

 U = 10

  1U + 1V = 1F

 11016 = 1F

460 = 1F

 F = 604

=  -15cm

629.

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

A.

Heat dissipation

B.

Production of eddy currents

C.

Excessive current discharge

D.

Excessive voltage discharge

Correct answer is A

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
