In the AC circuit diagram above, the resonance frequency is
A
5000π Hz
B
2500π Hz
C
5000/π Hz
D
2500/π Hz
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option D
Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
resonance frequency \(f_r\) = \(\frac{ 1}{ 2\pi \sqrt{LC}}\)
\(f_r\) = \(\frac{1}{2\pi \sqrt{5\times10^{-6} \times 8\times 10^{-3}}}\)
\(f_r\) = \(\frac{1}{ \pi 0.0004}\)
\(f_r\) = \(\frac{ 2500}{\pi}\)

Solution
A bullet fired at a wooden block of thickness 0.15m manages to penetrate the block. If the mass of the bullet is 0.025kg and the average resisting force of the wood is 7.5 x 103N, calculate the speed of the bullet just before it hits the wooden block.
A
450ms-1
B
400ms-1
C
300ms-1
D
250ms-1
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option C
Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
F = ma
Therefore, a = \(\frac{F}{m}\)
a = \(\frac{7.5 \times 10^{3}}{0.025}\)
a = 3 x 105m/s2
using V2 = U2 + 2ax;
V2 = 02 + (2 x 3 x 105 x 0.15)
Therefore V = 300 m/s

Solution
The velocity of a sound wave at 27oC is 360ms-1. Its velocity at 127oC is
A
120√3 ms-1
B
240 ms-1
C
240√3 ms-1
D
720√3 ms-1
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option C
Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
Velocity \(\alpha \sqrt{temperature}\)
\(\frac{V_1}{V_2} = \sqrt{\frac{T_1}{T_2}}\)
therefore, \(\frac{360}{V_2} = \sqrt{\frac{27 + 273}{127 + 273}}\)
\(V_2 = 240\sqrt{3}\)m/s

Solution
A ball is moving at 18ms\(^{-1}\) in a direction inclined at 60º to the horizontal. The horizontal component to its velocity is
A
9√3ms-1 ·
B
6√3ms-1 ·
C
8√3ms-1 ·
D
9ms-1 ·
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option D
Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
Since the angle is inclined to the horizontal,
The horizontal component of the velocity V\(_x\) = V x cos \(\theta\) = 18 x cos 60º = 9m/s
(NOTE: Cos 60º = 0.5)
