A train of mass 1600 kg attains a speed of 25 ms1 in 20 seconds. The power developed in the engine is?

A.

2.5 KW

B.

80 KW

C.

25 KW

D.

50 KW

Correct answer is D

where force = f, mass = m, acceleration = a, velocity = v, time = t

Force = m * a → m * \frac{Δv}{t} 

Power = f * v

P = m * \frac{v}{t}  * v = m * \frac{v^2}{t} 

p =  \frac{1600 * 25^2}{20} 

p = 50,000 or 50 KW

What quantity of heat is required to convert 20 g of ice at 0 ºC to water at the same temperature? (Specific latent heat of ice = 336 Jg^{-1})

A.

7.06 x 10^{3}J

B.

5.38 x 10^{3}J

C.

6.72 x 10^{3}J

D.

1.35 x 10^{3}J

Correct answer is C

quantity of heat = mass * Specific latent heat → 20 * 336 

quantity of heat = 6720j or  6.72 x 10^{3}J

118.

The graph of pressure (P) against the reciprocal of the volume (I/V) in Boyles's law is a?

A.

hyperbola

B.

parabola

C.

curve

D.

straight line

Correct answer is D

The graph of pressure (P) against the reciprocal of the volume (I/V) is a straight line passing through the origin.

119.

Which expression gives magnetic flux?

A.

qVB sin\theta

B.

\frac{\mu \phi I}{2 \pi r}

C.

BA cos \theta

D.

-N \frac{d \phi}{dt}

Correct answer is C

the magnetic flux through a surface is the surface integral of the normal component of the magnetic field B over that surface.

It is usually denoted Φ or ΦB. The SI unit of magnetic flux is the weber

Mathematically it is represented as B = Φ/A

 where B is magnetic flux density in teslas (T),

Φ is magnetic flux in webers (Wb), and

A is area in square meters (m2).

The amount of energy required to change a kilogram of ice block into water without a change in temperature is?

A.

specific latent heat of fusion of ice

B.

specific heat capacity of ice

C.

heat capacity of ice

D.

specific heat of vaporization of ice

Correct answer is A

Specific latent heat of fusion of a substance is the quantity of heat required to convert the unit mass of the substance from the solid to the liquid state without change in temperature.
