Determine the distance between the consecutive antinodes XX if the wavelength is 60cm

A.

15cm

B.

30cm

C.

60cm

D.

120cm

Correct answer is B

Distance XX = \(\frac{1}{2}\)\(\lambda\)

= \(\frac{1}{2}\) x \(\frac{60}{1}\)

= 30cm

The relationship between L and the wavelength I of the stationary wave is

A.

2L = \(\lambda\)

B.

L = \(\lambda\)

C.

L = \(\frac {\lambda}{3}\)

D.

4L = 3 \(\lambda\)

Correct answer is D

L = - \(\lambda\) \(\Rightarrow\)4L = 3 \(\lambda\)

200g of water at 90°C is mixed with 100g of water at 30°C. What is the final temperature?

A.

50oC

B.

60oC

C.

70oC

D.

80oC

Correct answer is C

Heat lost = heat gained

200 x c x (90 - \(\theta\))= 100\(\times\) c \(\times\) (\(\theta - 30\))

Dividing through by 100c, we have

2(\(90 - \theta\)) = (\(\theta - 30\))

simplifying, we have

\(\theta\) = 70°

When the volume of a given mass of gas is halved and its temperature doubled, the pressure

A.

remains constant

B.

increases by a factor of 4

C.

increases by a factor of 3

D.

decreases by a factor of 4

Correct answer is B

\(\frac{P_1V_1}{T_1}\) = \(\frac{P_2V_2}{T_2}\)

V1 = 2V2 and T2 = 2T1

\(\frac{P_1\times 2V_2}{T_1}\) = \(\frac{P_2\times V_2}{2T_1}\)


P2 = 4P1
