296.

The lens illustrated above can best be described as a

A.

converging meniscus

B.

plano-convex

C.

diverging meniscus

D.

bi-convex

Correct answer is B

The diagram is that of a plano-convex lens; a type of converging lens.

297.

The bob of a simple pendulum takes 8.0s to complete 10 oscillations. Determine the frequency of oscillation of the bob.

A.

0.125Hz

B.

1.25Hz

C.

7.50Hz

D.

8.00Hz

Correct answer is B

10 complete oscillations = 8.0s

1 complete oscillation (period) = 810s

Frequency = 1period = 10.8=1.25Hz

298.

Which of the following factors does not increase the rate of evaporation of water in a lake?

A.

Increase in the pressure of the atmosphere

B.

Rise in temperature

C.

Increase in the surface area of the lake

D.

Increase in the speed of the wind

Correct answer is A

The rate of evaporation is increased by the lowering of atmospheric pressure and not its increase. Every other factor stands, for the increase of evaporation process.

299.

The ice point on the absolute scale of temperature is

A.

0K

B.

32K

C.

100K

D.

273K

Correct answer is A

The absolute zero of the scale of temperature being the ice point of the absolute scale of temperature is 0K, which is -273°C.

A football is kicked at an angle of 45° to the horizontal over a defense line up with a velocity of 15ms1. Calculate the magnitudeof horizontal velocity of the ball at its highest point  [Neglect friction, g = 10ms2].

A.

0.0ms1

B.

5.6ms1

C.

10.6ms1

D.

15.0ms1

Correct answer is C

The horizontal component of velocity, Vx, is unaffected by the acceleration of free fall and remains constant.

Vx=Ux=Ucosθ

= 15×cos45=15×0.7071
