Diagram
Solution
The diagram above shows a velocity - time graph. The statement that is true about this motion is that the car?
Attached Figure / Diagram
A
has no acceleration between point F and G
B
decelerates between F and H
C
has a constant soeed between points E and F
D
Accelerates between points F and G
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option A
Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
Above are the V-t graphs for
I Uniform acceleration
II uniform retardation
III Uniform velocity
Thus the car has no acceleration between point F and G since that portion of the graph represents uniform velocity

Solution
A machine of velocity ratio 6 requires an effort of 400 N to raise a load of 800 N through I m. Find the efficiency of the machine
A
55. 6 %
B
50.0%
C
33.3%
D
22.2%
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option C
Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
Efficiency = (MA)/V.R x 100% = (load)/Effort x (1)/V.R
= (800)/400 x (1)/6 x 100% = 33.3%

Projectile Motion
Solution
A stone is projected vertically upward with a speed of 30ms\(^{1}\) from the top of a tower of height 50 m. Neglecting air resistance, determine the maximum height it reached from the ground. [g = 10 ms\(^-2\)]
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option
Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
V\(^2 = U^2 - 2gs\)
S = \(\frac{V^2 - U^2}{-2g} = \frac{O^2 - 30^2}{-2 \times 10}\) = 45m
Height from ground = 50 + 45 = 95m
Height from ground = 50 + 45 = 95m

Simple Harmonic Motion
Solution
A bob of weight 0.1 N hangs from a massless string of length 50 cm. A variable horizontal force which increase from zero is applied to pull the bob until the string makes an angle of 60o with the vertical. The work done is?
A
0.500 J
B
0.250 J
C
0.050 J
D
0.025 J
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option D
Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
Length of the string
L = y + x = 0.5m
∴ x = L - y
= distance moved in the direction of force (which is the weight) when the body is released But cos 60o = y/0.5
∴ y = 0.5cos60 = 0.5 x 1/2 = 0.25
∴ x = l - y = 0.5 - 0.25 = 0.25m
Work done = force x distance moved in the direction of force.
= 0.1 x 0.25 = 0.025J

Solution
The accurate measurement of the relative density of a substance in its powdered form is done with a beam balance and?
A
a density bottle
B
an eureka can
C
a pipette
D

medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option A
Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
Since relative density = mass of substance
mass of equal volume of water relative density bottle should be used to determine the mass of the substance, and mass of an equal volume of water by filling the bottle with the powder and water respectively and weighed with the beam balance.

Density and Relative Density
Solution
The density of a certain oil on frying becomes 0.4 kgm\(^{-3}\) with the volume of 20m\(^{3}\). what will be its initial volume when its initial density is 0.8 kgm\(^{-3}\) assuming no loss of oil due to spillage?
A
12m3
B
10m3
C
8m3
D
5m3
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option B
Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
Density (D) = \(\frac{mass}{volume}\)
\(\therefore Mass = Density \times volume\)
= \(0.4 \times 20 = 8kg\)
The initial volume = \(\frac{Mass}{\text{Initial density}}\)
= \(\frac{8}{0.8} = 10m^{3}\)
