A ball of mass 800g moving horizontally with a speed of 5m/s hits a vertical wall and rebounds with the same speed. The impulse experienced by the ball is?

A.

0kgm

B.

2kgm/s

C.

4kgm/s

D.

8kgm/s

Correct answer is D

Initial momentum = (0.8) × (5)

 = 4.0kgms\(^{-1}\)

  Final momentum

  = (0.8) × (– 5)

 = – 4.0kgms\(^{-1}\)

  Impulse on ball

  = Change in momentum

 = 4.0 – (– 4.0)

  = 8.0.0kgms\(^{-1}\)

When an atom loses or gain a charge it becomes

A.

An electron

B.

An ion

C.

A neutron

D.

A proton

Correct answer is B

If an atom gains or loses an electron, it becomes an ion. An atom that gains a negative electron, it becomes a negative ion. If it loses an electron it becomes a positive ion

The inner diameter of a small test tube can be measured accurately using a

A.

Micrometres screw gauge

B.

Pair of dividers

C.

Metre rule

D.

Pair of vernier calliper

Correct answer is D

A vernier scale is a visual aid to take an accurate measurement reading between two graduation markings on a linear scale by using mechanical interpolation; thereby increasing resolution and reducing measurement
