A cylindrical container closed at both ends, has a radius of 7cm and height 5cm [Take π = 22/7]
Find the total surface area of the container

A.

35cm2

B.

154cm2

C.

220cm2

D.

528cm2

E.

770cm2

Correct answer is D

TSA of a cylinder = \(2\pi r^2 + 2\pi rh\)

= \(2\pi r (r + h)\)

= \(2 \times \frac{22}{7} \times 7 (7 + 5)\)

= \(44 \times 12\)

= \(528 cm^2\)

The diagram above represents part of a wave motion in air. If the wave travels with a speed of 300ms-1calculate the frequency of the wave.

A.

360Hz

B.

300Hz

C.

250Hz

D.

150Hz

E.

100Hz

Correct answer is C

21/2λ = 3m; λ = 1.2m v= 300
f = v/x = 300/1.2 = 250Hz

A bat emits a sound wave at a speed of 1650.0ms-1 and receives the echoes 0.15s later. Calculate the distance of the bat from the reflector

A.

8.75m

B.

16.50m

C.

87.75m

D.

123.75m

E.

330.00m

Correct answer is D

Distance x = vt/2 =
1650 x 0.15/2
= 123.75m
