3,071.

A car starts from rest and moves with a uniform acceleration of 30ms-2 for 20s. Calculate the distance covered at the end of the motion

A.

6km

B.

12km

C.

18km

D.

24km

Correct answer is A

S = \(ut + \frac{1}{2}at^2\)

S = \(0 \times 2 + \frac{1}{2} \times 30 \times 20^2\)

Calculate the total distance covered by a train before coming to rest if its initial speed is 30ms-1 with a constant retardation of 0.1m-2

A.

5500m

B.

4500m

C.

4200m

D.

3000m

Correct answer is B

S = \(\frac{V^2 - U^2}{20}\)

S = \(\frac{0^2 - 30^2}{2 \times 0.1}\)

The energy of a photo having a wavelength of 10-10m is
(h= 6.63 x 10 -34Js, c =3.0 x 10 8ms-1)

A.

2.0 x 10 -15J

B.

1.7 x 10 -13J

C.

2.0 x 10 -12J

D.

1.7 x 10 -12J

Correct answer is A

E = \(\frac{hc}{\lambda}\)

E = \(\frac{6.63 \times 10^{-34} \times 3 \times 10^18}{10^{-10}}\)

E = 2 x 10-15J
