the fig above shows displacement-time graphs for three different motions. which of the following statements is correct?

A.

graph 2 corresponds to the highest velocity

B.

graph 1 corresponds to zero velocity

C.

graph 3 corresponds to a particle moving in the negative x direction

D.

graph 2 corresponds to a particle moving in the positive x direction

Correct answer is B

At constant velocity, an object must have a constant speed in a constant direction. Constant direction constrains the object to motion in a straight path thus, a constant velocity means motion in a straight line at a constant speed.

In the fig above, M and N are insulated metal spheres in contact. A negatively charged ebonite rod P is I brought near M. When M and N are Separated and the rod is taken away, which of the following statements is correct

A.

both M and N have acquired negative charges

B.

both M and N have acquired positive charges

C.

M has acquired negative charge and N positive charge

D.

N has acquired negative charge and M positive charge

Correct answer is D

In the above, a voltage V is applied across the terminals P and Q. The voltage across the 1 ohm resistor is

A.

V/8

B.

V/4

C.

V/3

D.

V/2

Correct answer is C

Using the voltage- divider method which states that the output voltage is directly proportional to the input voltage and the ratio of R1 and R2, given by:

Va = RaRT×VT

RT = 1+4×44+4

RT = 3Ω

V1 = 13V

fig above represents the main sequence of energy conversion at kainji dam. what is the efficiency of the system?

A.

Q1/Q2

B.

E/Q1

C.

E/(Q1-Q2)

D.

E/(Q1-Q2)

Correct answer is B

efficiency=workoutworkinput

= EQ1

A 50kg block is dropped from a point 10m above as shown in the fig above. if the force constant of the spring is 4.0 x 104Nm-1, find the maximum compression of the spring

[g = 10ms-2]

A.

1.25m

B.

0.50m

C.

0.25m

D.

0.05m

Correct answer is B

P.Emgh = 12 * k * x2

mgh = 12 * k * x2

50 * 10 * 10 = 12 * 4 * 104 * x2

→ x2 = 500024104

→ x = √[0.25]

: x = 0.50m
