Solution
A boy receives the echo of his clap reflected by a nearby hill 0.8s later. How far is he from the hill? [ speed of sound in air = \(340ms^{-1}\)
A
528m
B
66m
C
136m
D
264m
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option C
Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
Time for echo both ways = 0.8
Therefore time for echo in 1 way = 0.8/2 = 0.4
Distance = Speed x time
Distance = 340 x 0.4
Distance = 136m

Solution
An object is placed 10m from a pinhole camera of length 25cm. Calculate the linear magnification.
A
2.5x102
B
2.5x10-2
C
2.5x10-1
D
2.5x101
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option B
Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
\(\text{Linear Magnification} = \frac{\text{Length of Camera}}{\text{Distance of the Object}}\)
\(\text{Linear Magnification} = \frac{25}{1000}\)
\(\text{Linear Magnification} = 2.5 \times 10^{-2}\)

Solution
The focal length of a concave mirror is 2.0cm. If an object is placed 8.0cm from it, the image is at
A
2.7m
B
2.0m
C
2.3m
D
2.5m
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option A
Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
\(\frac{1}{U} + \frac{1}{V} = \frac{1}{f}\)
\(\frac{1}{8} + \frac{1}{V} = \frac{1}{2}\)
\(V = \frac{8}{3}\)
\(V = 2.7cm\)

The same as the internal resistance of the cell
C
Greater than the internal resistance of the cell
D
Less than the internal resistance of the cell
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option B
Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
the maximum power transfer theorem states that the maximum power is transferred from a source e.g. cell or battery to its load (external resistance) when the resistance of the load is equal to the internal resistance of the source.

Solution
A circuit has a resistance of 200Ω. The resistance of the circuit can be reduced to 120Ω when
A
A 300Ω resistor is connected to it in parallel
B
An 80Ω resistor is conneceted to it in series
C
A 150Ω resistor is connected to it in parallel
D
A 240Ω resistor is connected to it in series
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option A
Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
A 300Ω resistor is connected to it in parallel
Let R\(_t\) = total resistance in parallel
\(\frac{1}{R_t}\) = \(\frac{1}{R_1}\) + \(\frac{1}{R_2}\) = \(\frac{1}{200}\) + \(\frac{1}{300}\)
R\(_t\) = \(\frac{200 \times 300}{200 + 300}\) = \(\frac{6000}{500}\) = 120 \(\Omega\)
