A.

20.0kgm-1

B.

5.0kgm-1

C.

1.3kgm-1

D.

812.

An object is projected with a velocity of 100m-1 at an angle of 60° to the vertical. Calculate the time taken by the object to reach the highest point (Take g as 10ms-2

A.

5.0s

B.

8.7s

C.

10.0s

D.

17.3s

E.

20.0s

Correct answer is B

t = \(\frac{T}{2} = \frac{1}{2} = \frac{2u \sin \theta}{g} = \frac{100 \times \sin 60}{10}\)

10 sin60 = 10 x 0.8660

= 8.7

813.

A rectangular block of wood floats in water with two-thirds of its volume immersed. When placed in another liquid, it floats with half of its volume immersed. Calculate the relative density of the liquid

A.

1.43

B.

1.33

C.

1.00

D.

0.83

E.

0.75

Correct answer is B

from the first statement, mg = \(\frac{2}{3}Vp_wg\) ........................1

from second statement, mg = \(\frac{1}{2}Vp_lg \)...................2

equating equations 1 and 2    we have that 

\(\frac{2}{3}Vp_wg\) = \(\frac{1}{2}Vp_lg\)

\(\frac{4}{3} = \frac{p_l}{p_w}\)

= 1.33

814.

C.

two equal and oposite forces whose lines of action do not coincide

D.

two coplaner forces at right angles to each other

E.

the equilibrant of two concurrent forces

Correct answer is A
