91.

The potential energy in an elastic string of force constant k, which has an extension X is?

A.

kX

B.

KX2

C.

½KX2

D.

½K

Correct answer is C

elastic potential energy[Ee] = 12ke2.

92.

The vapour pressure?

A.

increases non-linearly with measuring temperature

B.

increases linearly with increasing temperature

C.

decreases linearly with increasing temperature

D.

decreases non-linearly ith measuring temperature

Correct answer is A

The vapor pressure of any substance increases non-linearly with temperature, often described by the Clausius–Clapeyron relation.

As the temperature of a liquid or solid increases its vapor pressure also increases.

Conversely, vapor pressure decreases as the temperature decreases. 

i.e. vapor pressure is directly proportional to temperature

93.

For a pear-shaped conductor shown above, the concentration of charge on the outside is highest at?

A.

X

B.

Z

C.

Y

D.

K

Correct answer is A

The electric field at the surface of the conductor is perpendicular to the surface.

Charge accumulates, and the field is strongest, on pointy parts of the conductor.

94.

A current of 0.5 A flows through a resistor when connected to a 40 V battery. How much energy is dispatched in 2 minutes?

A.

2400 J

B.

9600 J

C.

1500 J

D.

1200 J

Correct answer is A

Energy = power x time

Power = voltage x current

Energy = voltage x current x time

Energy = 40 x 0.5 x 60 x 2

→ 2,400j

95.

According to kinetic molecular model in gases,

A.

the particles are closely packed together; they occupy minimum space are usually arranged in a regular pattern

B.

the particles vibrate about fixed positions and are held together by the strong intermolecular bonds between them

C.

the molecules are very far apart and occupy all the spaces made available to them

D.

the particles occur in clusters with molecules slightly further apart

Correct answer is C

The model, called the kinetic theory of gases, assumes that the molecules are very small relative to the distance between molecules.

The molecules are in constant, random motion and frequently collide with each other and with the walls of any container.
