Correct answer is A

No explanation has been provided for this answer.

697.

Which of the following does NOT describe the Image formed by a plane minor?

A.

Erect

B.

Laterally inverted

C.

Same distance from mirror as object

D.

Magnified

Correct answer is D

The image formed by a plane mirror is always virtual (the light rays do not actually come from the image), upright, and of the same shape and size as the object it is reflecting.

698.

Which of the following is not true of an electrical charge?

A.

Positive charge means deficit electrons

B.

Negative charge means excess of electrons

C.

electric current means movement of electrons

D.

All of the above

Correct answer is D

The density of 400cm3 of palm oil was 0.9gcm-3 before frying. If the density of the oil was 0.6gcm-3 after frying, assuming no loss of oil due to spilling, its new volume was?

A.

1360cm3

B.

600cm3

C.

240cm3

D.

8000m3

Correct answer is B

Density=massvolume

0.9gcm3=mass400cm3=360g

without any loss in the frying process, we have

0.6gcm3=360gv

v=360g0.6gcm3=600cm3

A man walks 1km due east and then 1 km due north His displacement?

A.

√2km N 45°E

B.

1km N 30°E

C.

1km N 15°E

D.

√2km N 60°E

Correct answer is A

His movements 1km due east and then 1 km due north make a Right-Angled Triangle.

Using Pythagoras' theorem;

The Resultant becomes the Hypotenuse [h]

Hyp2 = Adj2 + \Opp(^2\)

Hyp2 = 12 + 12

Hyp2 = 2 → Hyp = √2

: Resultant = √2

DIRECTION TAN Ø = OPPADJ 

TAN Ø = 11

Ø = TAN1 [1]

Ø= 45°

Displacement is √2km N 45°E
