Work, Energy, Power & Simple Machines
Solution
A machine is used to lift a load of 20 N through a height of 10 m. if the efficiency of the machine is 40%, how much work is done?
A
80 J
B
500 J
C
300 J
D
120 J
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option B
Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
Efficiency = \( \frac{\text{work output}}{\text{work input}} \times \frac{100}{1} \)
= 40 = \( \frac{20 \times 10 }{x} \times \frac{100}{1} \)
= 500J

Calorimetry, Latent Heat & Change of State
Solution
A block of aluminum is heated electrically by a 30 w heater if the temperature rises by 10°c in 5 minutes, the heat capacity of the aluminum is
A
900 JK-1
B
90 JK-1
C
100 JK-1
D
200 JK-1
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option A
Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
Heat supplied = Heat gained Pt = MCDθ

Calorimetry, Latent Heat & Change of State
Solution
Steam burn is more severe than that of boiling water because
A
steam burn is independent of relative humidity
B
steam possesses greater heat energy per unit mass
C
water boils at a higher temperature
D
steam burn is dependent on relative humidity
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option B
Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
The specific latent heat of vaporization of steam is 2.1 x 106JKg-1
while the energy required to raise the temperature of a unit mass of water from 0^\circc to 100^\circc = C x Dt = 4200 x 100 = 420000 = 4.2 x 105 JKg-1
∴ steam possesses greater heat energy per unit mass
