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.

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:

\(V_{a}\) = \(\frac{R_{a}}{R_{T}}\times V_{T}\)

\(R_{T}\) = \(1 + \frac{4\times4}{4+4}\)

⇒ \(R_{T}\) = \(3\Omega\)

\(V_{1}\) = \(\frac{1}{3}V\)

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

B.

m1g

C.

m2g

D.

(m1+m2)g

Correct answer is B
