Which of the following units is equivalent to kgms-1?
A
Ns-1
B
Nms-1
C
Ns
D
Js-1
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option C
Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
kgms-1 = \(\frac{mass}{distance}\)
since, F = ma = kgms-1 = N
kgms-1 = Ns

Solution
A jet engine develops a thrust of 270Ns when the velocity of the exhaust gases relative to the engine is 300ms-1. What is the mass of the material ejected per second?
A
81.00kg
B
9.00kg
C
0.90kg
D
0.09kg
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option C
Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
Thrust = force x time
thrust = \(\frac{m(v - u)}{t}\) x \(\frac{t}{1}\)
270 = m(300 - 0)
m = 0.90kg

Solution
A constant force of 40N acting on a body initially at rest gives an acceleration of 0.1ms-2 for 4s. Calculate the work done by the force
A
8J
B
10J
C
32J
D
160J
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option C
Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
X = ut + \(\frac{1}{2}\)at2
= (0 x 4) + (\(\frac{1}{2}\) x 0.1 x 4 x 4)
= 0.8m
workdone = force x distance
= 40 x 0.8
= 32J

A body rolls down a slope from a height of 100m. its velocity at the foot of the slope is 20ms-1. What percentage of its initial potential energy is converted into kinetic energy? [g = 10ms-1]
A
40%
B
35%
C
20%
D
15%
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option C
Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
P.E = mgh = 1000m joules
K.E = \(\frac{1}{2}\)mv2 = 200m joules
%converted = \(\frac{200m}{1000m}\) x 100
= 20%

The coefficient of static friction between a 40kg crate and concrete surface is 0.25. Find the magnitude of the minimum force needed to keep the crate stationary on the concrete base inclined at 45o to the horizontal. [G = 10ms-1]
A
400N
B
300N
C
283N
D
212N
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option D
Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
momentum force = Rsin\(\theta\) - \(\mu\)Rcos\(\theta\)
Fm = (40 x 10 x sin 45) - (40 x 10 x 0.25 x cos 45)
= 212N
