A vibrator causes water ripples to travel across the surface of a tank. The wave travels 50cm in 2s and the distance between successive crests is 5cm. Calculate the frequency of the vibrator

A.

5Hz

B.

6Hz

C.

5.2Hz

D.

25Hz

Correct answer is A

V=Distancetime

= 50cm2s

= 25 cms1.


V=fλ

f=Vλ

f=255

= 5 Hz

A supply of 400V is connected across capacitors of 3μf and 6μf in series. Calculate the charge

A.

8 x 104C

B.

4 x 102C

C.

8 x 103C

D.

4 x 108C

Correct answer is A

CT = C1 × C2
C1 + C2

 

= 3 × 6
3 + 6


= 189 = 2μf
Q = CV
⇒ 2 × 106 × 400
⇒ 800 × 106C = 8 × 104C

The diagram above represents the stress-strain graph of a loaded wire. Which of these statements is correct?

A.

At J, the wire becomes plastic

B.

J is the yield point

C.

L is the elastic limit

D.

At K, the wire breaks

Correct answer is B

- I is the elastic limit
- the end of the constant part J is the yield point
- L is the break point.

Aluminium is sometimes used as the leaf of an electroscope because it

A.

is a light material

B.

is a good conductor

C.

is a good insulator

D.

can be converted into thin sheets

Correct answer is D

- Aluminium can be made in thin sheet like Gold.
- the leaf is a thin material that can be diverged easily.
