The two person of a body undergoing a uniformly accelerated motion are (10s, 10ms-1) and (30s, 50ms-1). On the velocity-time graph pf the body.

A.

0.5ms-2

B.

2.0ms-2

C.

10.0ms-2

D.

40.0ms-2

Correct answer is B

Slope = a = \(\frac{\deltav}{\deltat}\)

= \(\frac{50 - 10}{30 - 10}\)

= 2.0ms-2

An object of volume 400cm3 and 2.5gcm-3 is suspended from a spring balance with half its volume immersed in water. Determine the reading on the spring balance. (Density of water = 1gcm-3)

A.

1200g

B.

1000g

C.

800g

D.

400g

Correct answer is C

Mass = density x volume

400 x 2.5 = 1000g

Loss in mass = volume x density

= \(\frac{400}{2}\) x 1 = 200g

Reading on spring balance = 1000 - 200g = 800g
