An electric circuit is connected as illustrated above. Determine the equivalent e.m.f and current flowing through the circuit respectively, neglecting the internal resistance of the cells

A.

2V, 1.0A

B.

2V, 4.0A

C.

6V, 0.3a

D.

6V, 3.0a

Correct answer is A

cells in V = voltage of the cell

= 2V

I = \(\frac{v}{R} = \frac{2}{3}\)

= 1A

The outlet of a bicycle pump is used to inflate a football as illustrated in the diagram above. Why does the pressure of the air inside the pump increases as the pump handle is slowly pushed downward at constant temperature?

A.

momentum of the air molecules are increased

B.

volume occupied by the molecules are increased

C.

frequency of collision of the air molecules with the walls of the pump is increased

D.

more air molecules are collidin with one another in the system

Four co-planar forces of magnitudes 10N, 17N, 6N and 20N act at point O as shown in the above diagram. Determine the magnitude of the resultant force

A.

53.0N

B.

21.0N

C.

7.0N

D.

5.0N

Correct answer is D

Vertical resultant = 10 - 6 = 4N

Horizontal resultant = 20 - 17 = 3N

R = \(\sqrt{3^2 + 4^2}\)

= 5N
