The diagram above illustrates trapped air in a syringe placed in water that is gradually heated. It is observed that the piston rises as the temperature of the water rises. Which of the following statements explains this observation?

A.

frequency of collision of trapped air molecules with walls of the syringe is more

B.

molecules of trapped air expands more

C.

speed of the trapped air molecules decreases

D.

number of molecules of trapped air increases

Correct answer is B

The derived unit of pressure can be expressed as

A.

kgms-2

B.

kg m-1s-2

C.

kg m-2s-2

D.

kg m-1s2

Correct answer is B

Pressure = \(\frac{Force}{Area}\)

Force = mass x acceleration

\(\therefore\) Pressure = \(\frac{mass \times acceleration}{Area}\)

= \(\frac{kg \times m \times s^{-2}}{m^2}\)

= kg m\(^{-1}\) s\(^{-2}\)

Using the circuit diagram above. Calculate the potential difference across the capacitors in parallel

A.

10.0V

B.

8.0V

C.

6.7V

D.

2.0V

Correct answer is D

V = \(\frac{Q}{V} = \frac{16}{8} = 2\Gamma\)
