An electric heating coil rated at 1Kw is used to heat 2kg of water for 2 minutes. The initial water temperature is 30\(^o\)C. Taking the specific heat of the water as 4,000Jkg \(^{-1}\) and neglecting that of the container, the final water temperature is

A.

15.0\(^o\)C

B.

45.0\(^o\)C

C.

52.5\(^o\)C

D.

60.0\(^o\)C

Correct answer is B

  Time = 2mins = 2 × 60 = 120secs

  Energy = power × time

  1000 × 120 = 120,000J

  Energy = mc(θ\(_2\) – θ\(_1\))

  120,000 = 2 × 4000(θ\(_2\) – θ\(_1\))

  θ2 = 30 + 15 = 45 \(^o\) C

A beam of light is incident from air to water at an angle of 30\(^o\). Find the angle of refraction if the refractive index of water is 4/3

A.

15\(^o\)

B.

18\(^o\)

C.

22\(^o\)

D.

24\(^o\)

Correct answer is C

X = \(\frac{4}{3}\) r = ?

  Shell’s law:.  = \(\frac{Sin i^0}{ Sin r^0}\)

  = \(\frac{Sin 30^0}{Sin r^0}\)

  Sin\(r^0\) = \(\frac{3 Sin 30^0}{4}\)

  Sin \(r^0\) = 0.375

  R \(^o\) = Sin-1 (0.375)

  R \(^o\) = 22.02 \(^o\)

  R \(^o\) = 22 \(^o\)

The resistance of a 40W car head lamp, drawing current from a 12V battery is ____.

A.

0.3Ω

B.

3.3Ω

C.

3.6Ω

D.

4.8Ω

Correct answer is C

Power delivered to head lamp = \(\frac{V_2}{R}\)

  = 40W

  R = \(\frac{V_2}{40}\)

  = \(\frac{(12 × 2)}{40}\)

  = 3.6Ω

349.

A force of 5N acts at a point Y on a rod XYZ as shown in this diagram. If XYZ is 2m, what is the moment of the force about point X?

A.

0Nm

B.

3Nm

C.

7Nm

D.

10Nm

Correct answer is A

using the formular :

Moment = Force × Distance
5 X 0 = 0Nm
