306.

Frequency is measured in

A.

meter per second

B.

seconds

C.

hertz

D.

farad

Correct answer is C

The unit of frequency is hertz, abbreviated Hz.

307.

The diagram above illustrates the mercury-in-glass thermometer used for determining the temperature of a room. Use the data on it to determine the room temperature.

A.

3.3°C

B.

7.0°C

C.

13°C

D.

30.0°C

Correct answer is D

Let the room temperature be X.

We have, \(\frac{3-0}{10-0} = \frac{X-0}{100-0}\)

\(\frac{3}{10} = \frac{X}{100}\)

\(X = \frac{3 \times 100}{10}\)

= 30°C

308.

An object at rest is said to possess 

A.

potential energy

B.

kinetic energy

C.

chemical energy

D.

electrical energy

Correct answer is A

Potential energy is the energy that is stored in an object due to its position relative to some zero position

309.

Which is the incorrect formula for a body accelerating uniformly?

A.

a = v2 − \(\frac{u^2}{2}\)

B.

v2 = u2 + 2as

C.

s = ut + \(\frac{1}{2}\) at2

D.

v2 − u2= 2as

Correct answer is A

Look through the equations of motion

310.

C.

\(\Delta\)x . \(\Delta\)p \(\geq\) = h

D.

\(\Delta\)x . \(\Delta\)p > h

Correct answer is C
