photography?
A
phoTOgraphy
B

C

D
photograPHY
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option A
Grammar & Contextual Explanation
stressed syllables are the syllables within a word that have the most emphasis when spoken for example: other - the syllable "oth" is stressed and the syllable "er" is not because "er" is pronounced less that "oth" the "er" tends to sound as if it were falling away at the end of the word.
in photography, The main stress is on the second syllable (the "tog" part).photography = pho-TOG'-raph-y. The same as photographer; the stress is on the second syllable. This is distinct from "photograph", where the first syllable is the stressed one.

Work, Energy, Power & Simple Machines
Solution
If a body mass 5kg is thrown vertically upwards with velocity u,at what height will the potential energy equal to the kinetic energy?
A
h =(u)2/g
B
h = (u)2/4g
C
h = (2u)2/g
D
h = (u)2/2g
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option B
Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
From V\(^2\) = U\(^2\) + 2as
O = U\(^2\) - 2gH, since at maximum height H, the final velocity, v = O.
when K.E = P.E
∴ H = \(\frac{(U)^2}{2g}\)
Halfway is the \(\frac{\text{height}}{2}\)
PE = KE at \(\frac{(1)}{2}\) H = \(\frac{(U)^2}{2g}\) x (\(\frac{1}{2}\)) = \(\frac{U^2}{4g}\)

A motorcycle of mass 100kg moves round in a circle of radius 10m with a velocity of 5 ms\(^{-1}\). find the coefficient of friction between the road and the tyres.
A
25.00
B
2.50
C
0.50
D
0.25
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option D
Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
F = \(\frac{mv^2}{\text{r}}\) = \(\frac{100 \times 5^2}{10}\) = 250N
R = mg = 100 x 10 = 1000N
coefficient of friction,
µ = \(\frac{\text{F}}{\text{R}}\) = \(\frac{(250)}{1000}\) = 0.25.

A
0.8
B
1.1
C
1.2
D
1.3
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option D
Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
hlpl = hwpw
where, L =liquid and W = water
(pl)/pw = (hw)/hl = (26.5)/20.4
= 1.299
