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

\(efficiency = \frac{workout}{workinput}\)

= \(\frac{E}{Q_1}\)

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 10\(^4\)Nm-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.E\(_{mgh}\) = \(\frac{1}{2}\) * k * x\(^2\)

mgh = \(\frac{1}{2}\) * k * x\(^2\)

50 * 10 * 10 = \(\frac{1}{2}\) * 4 * 10\(^4\) * x\(^2\)

→ x\(^2\) = \(\frac{5000 * 2}{4 * 10^4}\)

→ x = √[0.25]

: x = 0.50m

the fig above shows two connected bodies of masses M1 and M2 in equilibrium under gravity. The tension in the upper string is

A.

(m1-m2)g

B.

m1g

C.

m2g

D.

(m1+m2)g

Correct answer is B

The velocity time graph above describes the motion of a particle between two points P and Q. What is the distance between P and Q?

A.

17.0m

B.

18.0m

C.

22.5m

D.

30.0m

Correct answer is B

distance = area under the graph.

= \(\frac{1}{2}\times 1 \times 4 ) + \frac{1}{2} \times (4+6)\times 1) + (6 \times 1.5) + (\frac{1}{2}\times(2 + 6)\times 0.5)\)
