Which of the following statements about a ferromagnetic material is correct? It

A.

has a high susceptibility.

B.

attracts non-magnetic materials.

C.

has low relative permeability.

D.

repels other magnetic materials.

Correct answer is A

The correct statement about a ferromagnetic material is:

It has a high susceptibility.

Ferromagnetic materials are characterized by having a high susceptibility, which means they are strongly attracted to magnetic fields. When placed in a magnetic field, ferromagnetic materials become magnetized and can themselves exhibit strong magnetic properties, attracting other magnetic materials. Ferromagnetic materials, such as iron, nickel, and cobalt, are commonly used in the construction of permanent magnets and electromagnets due to their strong response to magnetic fields.

A ball of mass 0.8 kg is dropped from a height, H. Just before hitting the ground, its velocity is 5.0 m/s. Determine H.
[g = 10 ms-2]

A.

1.25m

B.

4.00m

C.

6.25m

D.

1.60m

Correct answer is A

u = 0, g = 10 ms2, v = 5 m/s, h = ?
From v2=u2+2gh
52=02+2×10×h
25 = 0 + 20h
25 = 20h

Therefore, h = 2520 = 1.25m

The instrument used to measure relative humidity is a

A.

Hygrometer

B.

Barometer

C.

Hydrometer

D.

Manometer

Correct answer is A

The instrument used to measure relative humidity is a hygrometer. Relative humidity is the amount of moisture in the air compared to the maximum amount of moisture the air could hold at the same temperature. A hygrometer is a device used for measuring the moisture content in the atmosphere, soil, or confined spaces.
