686.

A force (10i + 4j)N acts on a body of mass 2kg which is at rest. Find the velocity after 3 seconds.

A.

(5i3+2j3)ms1

B.

(10i3+4j3)ms1

C.

(5i+2j)ms1

D.

(15i+6j)ms1

Correct answer is D

Recall, F=mass×accelerationacceleration=forcemass

= 10i+4j2=(5i+2j)ms2

= v=u+atvat 3 seconds=0+(5i+2j×3)

= (15i+6j)ms1

Given that a = 5i + 4j and b = 3i + 7j, evaluate (3a - 8b).

A.

9i + 44j

B.

-9i + 44j

C.

-9i - 44j

D.

9i - 44j

Correct answer is C

= 3(5i+4j)8(3i+7j)=15i+12j24i56j

= 9i44j

Face 1 2 3 4 5 6
Frequency 12 18 y 30 2y 45

 Given the table above as the result of tossing a fair die 150 times, find the mode.

A.

3

B.

4

C.

5

D.

6

Correct answer is D

The mode is the occurrence with the highest frequency which, from the table, is 45 (the occurrence of obtaining a 6).

Face 1 2 3 4 5 6
Frequency 12 18 y 30 2y 45

Given the table above as the results of tossing a fair die 150 times. Find the probability of obtaining a 5.

A.

110

B.

16

C.

15

D.

310

Correct answer is C

Probability of obtaining a 5 = frequency of 5total frequency

12+18+y+30+2y+45=150105+3y=150

3y=45;y=15

Probability of 5 = 2×15150=15

A.

(1747)

B.

(1745)

C.

(1743)

D.

(1742)

Correct answer is B

a=(23)b=(14)

2×a=(46) and 14×b=(141)

\begin{pmatrix} \frac{17}{4} \\ 5 \end{pmatrix}
