total pressure = 17.5 * 10^6
therefore
pressure of water + pressure of oil = total pressure
phg+phg=total pressure
1000*(2000-x)*9.8  +  830*x*9.8=17.5*10^6
just arrange the formulas
it will be around 1260 whis nearest to the answer D

Q28

Q24)intensity=ka2. using numericals would be helpful here
consider a=2 and k=1  I=4
if I has to be 8  a will be \sqrt(8) = 4? NO  less than 4. This is the case with any wave....the formula is important. I =ka2
And half the frequency means twice the wavelength.  Hence B

Q25) calculate the wavelength first.

w= v/f =  340/500=0.68m

0.68m= 2\pi
0.17= ?
0.17X 2\pi
--------------------
0.68

=1/2 \pi radians
So B

Q28)  \lambda= ax/ D

a=distance between the slit
\lambda=wavelength
x=fringe spacing
D=distance from screen

x is initially =4mm

now the slit spacing is halved so 1/2 a
D is doubled and is now 2D

wavelength is constant

earlier x= (\lambda D)/ a

now x= (\lambda2D)/ 1/2a

x is 4 times greater

so x is 4X4=16mm

Q33)


V=12V

It is same in both parallel wires.

it splits depending on the ratio of the resistor. Greater the resistance, more the voltage across it.

in first wire

across 500= 500/1500 X 12= 4V [X]

in the second wire

across 2000=2000/3000 X12=8V [Y[

p.d between the 2 points X and Y = 4V

Q33
Q24
Q25
Q28


Q24) since intensity is directly proportional to amplitude SQUARED then the sqaure root of intensity is proportional to amplitude, and therfore if the intensity is double then the intensity has to increase by a square root of 2, and the frequency is halfed therfore each wave takes double the number of squares, which means its B :D

Q25) the wavelength is equal to 340/500= 0.68

and it ask for the phase difference between two points on the SAME WAVE, and since the wavelength is 0.68, and the two points are 0.17 apart then its 0.17/0.68, then you have to multiply it by 360, this gives 90 degrees, and since pie is equal to 180 then the answer is B pie/2

Q28) we know that wavelength/distance between slits is = distance between two fringes/distance to screen

and therefore we want to know the relation between the distance between two fringes and the slit spacing therefore we have to re arrange the equation so that they are on different sides of the equation, but the equation already satisfies that and therefore, when the distance between the slits halfs the distance between 2 fringes has to double as they are inversely proportional because one is numerator and the other is denominator, and therefore that gives us a fringe spacing of 8, but then the distance to screen doubles, arranging the equation to make the distance to the screen on the left hand side we see that is directly proportional to the fringe spacing and therfore as it doubles the fringe spacing has to double to giving us 16mm

Q10) since F=ma
and a=(v-u)/t

then F= m(v-u) all /t
m(v-u) is equal to the change in momentum there fore F=momentum/time
and since its asking for force BETWEEN time t1 and t2 you have to include a time difference, and therefore answer is B

Q12

for variant 1...


i personally find this question difficult and time consuming, so here's an easier way ;)

R1 and R2 HAVE to be equal because they are both vertical and they have the same masses connected to them...when we come to the T's, they cant be equal because you have changed the angles at which they are positioned and therefore the answer which meets those requirments is B

:P
examiners actually said that students will find an easier way of doing questions rather than deriving long stepped equations such as teachers (A)

ppl there is a mcq which is really bothering me....PLZ SOLVE.

Sound from a small loudspeaker L reaches a point P by two paths which differ in length by 1.2m. When the frequency of the sound is gradually increased, the resultant intensity at P goes through a series of maxima and minima. A maximum occurs when the frequency is 1000 Hz and the next maximum occurs at 1200 Hz. What is the speed of sound in the medium between L and P?

A   200
B   240
C   480
D   1200
E   1400
Title: Re: physics mcq help needed! urgent!
Post by: [Spy] on May 15, 2010, 03:52:10 pm
q18 nov 2005.?

since the pressures are equal then P1=P2

P1 for X is equal to 800*9.8*h1

P2 For Y is equal to 1200*9.8*h2

if you make them equal to each other (since pressure is equal, cause thats what they are asking for)

then....7840h1=11760h2
re-arrange to give h2/h1=7840/11760, that ratio gives 2/3

then you check which one of the choices gives a ratio of 2/3 when you divide the length of Y OVER X because we used h2/h1

Answer is B
at X it has to be tension because its opposite directions, and at Y it also has to be tension because if you look at the far end of the pillar horizantally, at the curved part on the right, if you trace the force exerted by F, you see that it applies a pulling force on Y therefore its tension, i would also assume Z is tension, BUT here's paper 1 tricks, you dont have Z with tension and your sure X and Y are tension there fore it has to be B

ok same paper  Q23

at Q, displacement can not be always zero as it is not a stationary wave, therefore we eliminate B, at R, its max. displacement and therefore it stopped so that it will then go back upwards, and hence we eliminate C now

as For point P, just like R its coming to rest, and therefore it should have MINIMUM speed and not MAXIMUM speed, .  and therefore we eliminate A and the answer is D :)

the explanation for the answer, point S is going to start going downwards now and its going to have maximum acceleration initially then slow down as it arrives at the negative amplitude

hope this is clear :)

answer should be D but its C :(

your supposed to add the uncertainties which means its 0.1+(0.01*3)= 0.13
anyone help??? cause this is not the answer

first,
find volume
V=L*B*H
so u find the %uncertainity of all three variables and add them
ok
this will come out A** 0.2%+0.5%+1%=1.7%
so 1.7% is the percentage uncertainity in volume

then u find the %uncertainity in mass
(0.1/25)*100=0.4%
so to find density
u use the formula D=M/V
means division
so u hv 2 add %uncertainity of volume n mass
1.7%+0.4%=2.1%
then he gave u the calculated value of density
so (2.1/100)*2.5(density value given)
answer comes out to be 0.0525
so 0.05 which C

no i am pretty sure its C , whenever u r calculating uncertainties if its multi or division........u have to percentage uncertainties so
0.1/25 x 100 = 0.4%
0.01/5 x 100 = 0.2%
0.01/2 x 100= 0.5%
0.01/1 x 100 = 1%

now u add these so u get 2.1%......however we want in decimal

becaus ei have to imagine the same line on the other side, which makes it parallel, parallel lines: their interior angle add up to 180
so 180-120=60

becaus ei have to imagine the same line on the other side, which makes it parallel, parallel lines: their interior angle add up to 180
so 180-120=60

ok Q24
just draw 6 lines imagine each as a node, count the spaces between the line  they are 5 spaces
30/5 = 6cm
so 6 is one space  , the distance form one line to the other (one node to the other) makes half a wavelength
which is 6cm
one full wavelength is thereofre 12cm so its D


Q31
first find total resistance :
(6*3)/(6+3)=2
2+2= 4 ohms
total R= 4 ohms
total V=12V
now find voltage for the parallel connections , treat the 6ohms and 3ohms as a single resistor so:
(6*3)/(6+3)=2
2* current = 2*3=6V
since its parallel , the 6ohms gets 6V so does the 3ohms
so
R=V/I
I=V/R
I=6/6= 1 A

got it?

Q14: its B because its in equiliberium which means the triangle arrows must be head to tail like in B
Q31: R=V/I
R=row L/A
since V , L ,row are same they cancel out so we can write it like this
1/I = 1/A  (THIS IS FOR P)=1/A(THIS IS FOR Q)

FOR P:
A= pie r^2  thereofre
1/pie

FOR Q:
A=pie r^2 therefore
1/pie 4
 
we cancel out the pie this remains
P:Q
1:1/4
so P is 4 times bigger than Q so its D

15 KE=1/2mv^2 so if v increases by factor 4 KE increases by factor 4^2
37resistance of 3-6 loop is 1/R=1/6+1/3=1/2 so R=2
resistance of 2-2 loop is 1/R=1/2+1/2=1 so R=1
more resistance in first loop so more voltage across first loop
ratio of resistance in 1st loop 1is 1:2 and ratio of resistance in 2nd loop is 1:1 so I_1>I-2

2009 june Q18
explain plz

this is wat i think

the formula for pressure is pa=hdg
since the pressure here is increasing, cuz heat is being applied to gas, ke increase, causing the height of the mercury to increase
A is rong since its not the correct formula
B is rong since it would give the height before the gas was heated
C is rong cuz it shows pressure decreasing, but we want the pressure to increase
D is the only correct option.

since pressure is = row*g*h

and the height increase is h then the pressure increase should be simply row*g*h

BUT, if you think about it, the left coloumn of liquid goes down by H and the right side colomn of liquid goes up by H, and therefore its row*g*2h which is D

june 2002 q21.???

P is density through out this question.

P=M/V
so V=M/P

the Final Volume =  M/P + M/2P (densities stated in the question)
and this equals 3M/2P

the Final Density i.e P Final is equal to 2M/3M/2P (2M because they are combined together and they have both a mass of M and 3M/2P from the previous step i.e final volume)

therefore, P Final= 4/3 (2/(3/2))

hope its clear :D

Q29:
E=V/d    also
V=W/q

W=work=energy= 1/2mv^2 (ke)
therefore
V=1/2mv^2 /e
so
E = 1/2mv^2 /e /x
just rearrange and make "x" as the subject ull get the answer in D
Title: Re: physics mcq help needed! urgent!
Post by: [Spy] on May 16, 2010, 06:57:40 pm
please help

the mass in X is going to half, and so does the height!

which means E potential= 0.5mg0.5h=mgh/4

therefore answer is B

19) its just a fact, plastic deforemation means it will not go back to its original shape, BUT the question says SUTAIN THE LARGEST PLASTIC DEFORMATION basically the object that can be bent the most, it cant be any brittles ones cause brittle means they shatter, and a fact - aluminium is more bendable than steel and so answer is A


29) i think this one of the questions that require time and a mood :P i have an easier way of these questions, since motion is involved in this question, then A and B cant be the right answer because they have mv and NOT mv^2 (which is kinetic energy i.e motion) and since we're looking at the motion of the electron then we have to include its charge obviously, therefore answer is D :)

and one more question why do they exchange velocities????

it doesn't matter, since momentum is conserved in both.
it may seem like they are exchangin velocites, but that is only to equate the momentum
2m leaves with v, momentum = 2mv
so m leaves with 2v, so that momentum =  2mv

when u increase the resistance in the variable resistor, voltage increases

voltage then DECREASES in the wire

then
R is directly proportional to length "L"
when resistance of variable increases then the length has to increase...thus it moves to Y
Title: Re: physics mcq help needed! urgent!

By the way the answer is wrong
its supposed to be : 2
u have to use (ke) formula here so the 4 and 2 cancel each other when u do the calculations.

14 A take moments about top of ladder against wall
16 A moves in direction of the force distance s so W=Fs
A
but the answer for 22 in the marking schemes is B for 22 thts wat i dont get

it retrns to the same original length!!!dt means it is elastic the question says dt ot follows the same force extension curve when contracted

its cannot be plastic cuz in the question it says "metal" and also if a plastic crosses its elastic limit it shatters or breaks cuz it brittle

ooohhh so cuz it has the same graph when contracted n when stretched it is elastic ...so incase of a plastic how wud the graph be wud it be straight after the elastic limit the line will stop and both the contracting and stretching  graphs will be different im i ryt??and it will be a curve not a straight line..

Q16 june 2008:
workdone=energy and workdone=force times the distance in the same direction at the force applied so since the force is acting in the same direction as the distance s so the enegy is equal to fs...and when the charge moves 4rm x to y then the distance from the sorce increases and more the distace increases the less the force is thts y it decreases

notice tht the forces F are acting on the same place so thts the couple
while Wx2a-Wxa shud be equal to the couple
Wx2a-Wxa=Fxh(in couple u jst take 1 force X the distane between them)
therefore W2a=Fh+Wa

Q34 they said tht the volume of the wire is constant
so the volume of a cylinder is its lengthXthe crosssectional area
so for x imagine the area is 1 and the length is 1 so the volume is 1
but for y the length is 4 but it still has the same volume so therefor 4Lxa quater area will give the same volume which is 1
and resistance in a wire is equal to length over area
so in this case 4/0.25 which is equal to 16

Q9(mayjune 2004)

q3 o/no6
we have to use base units
so elecitric field strength = F/Q
so ma/q now m is kg a is m/s2 and Q is C
so in this equation we get kgms-2C-1

Q9
lets look first at vertical u=0 g=10 s=1.25 t=?
so 1.25=0.5at2
2.5/10=t2
0.25=t2
t=0.5

then applying to horizontal
s=10 u=? t=0.5 a=0
s=ut
u=10/0.5
u=20

Q4:
(2.02+1.98)/2
to get the current value
answer = 2
(1/100)*2=0.02
then because u added in the beginning then u have 2 add uncertainty, this is the rule,
0.02+0.02=0.04

hm....but can you please explain why you took those wires as parralel?????
i have a quetion....when we talk about the kinetic energy of a electron in a electric field is there a formula stating that:
  kinetic energy=potential difference across the plates * charge of the electron.

another question which  i wanted to clear was that for example i saw a question that like a specific amount of electrons and protons were moving in oppisite directions in the same wire. they asked about the total charge on it.
so can you explain whether we subtract the charges or do we add them up....

thanks.

1. Because how else would they be transmitted.......u cant have them in series.........
2. no there is isnt a formula like that but we now V/d = F/q so if if distance is constant then VQ=F where as VQ=ma..... now a= VQ/m now since we now the acceleration of particles its easy to compare the kinetic energy or if distance or time given the velocity and ke. itself can be deduced.....

Q) two spheres A and B approach each other along the same straight line with speeds UA and UB.
the spheres collide and move off with speeds VA and VB, both in the same direction as the intial direction of sphere A.
which equation applies to an elastic collision?
1) UA  + UB =VB-VA
2)UA - UB = VB-VA
3)UA-UB=VB + VA
4) UA + UB = VB +VA

Q5) my teacher even couldnt solve this, its something very weird :S
but here's my solution.....3% of 330 is 10, which is to two significant results, and therefore answer should be to two S.F meaning its C, but its a very stupid question and thats the only time it came :S

Q8) as you can see, the first stage involves a steady increase in velocity, meaning that the distance has to be increasing WITH AN INCREASING RATE. get it? since the velocity is the are in the D-T graph, then for each second there should be increasing area because velocity is increasing, and A shows this. if you look at the second part, its steady velocity meaning its not changing and therefore there is going to be a constant equal change in distance every second, and that's shown by a straight line. and for the last party it velocity is decreasing, BUT THAT DOES NOT MEAN DISTANCE IS INCREASING! you probably put A right? no the answer is C because in the third part it shows a increasing distance BUT WITH A DECREASING RATE until it doesnt change anymore (straight line)
hope its clear :D

well, if you look at B, X Air resistance is correct because as an objects fall from a height, the total net force on it starts decreasing because air resistance starts from zero and then increases gradually which is shown in the graph for X, but in B it says Weight for force Y, weight does not change obiously no matter what unless your on an inclided plane ofcourse,

answer cant be C because we said C has to be resistance.

D cant be the answer because neither is X resitance and Y is weight which we said doesnt change here

as for A, then X is air resistance which is correct, and plus, force Y is net force i.e resultant force which like i said above, will start decreasing from a high value as resistance increases because as the object falls the resistance will keep increasing and therefore the total net force downwards decreases.

Q36) it simple as that the electric field direction is always from positive to negative, and you can see that at the upper plate has a NEGATIVE voltage meaning the direction will be from Q to P, and so the answer is D :)

Q40) as we know a proton has the same charge as an electron (the value) thats why an atom is neutral, therefore here, we have to obtain a combination of up and down quarks so that achieve a value of "e" exactly, equal to the charge of the electron.

for A, (0*2/3)+(3*-1/3)= -1, it cant be the answer because we have to obtain a positive value since its a proton!

for B, (1*2/3)+(1*-1/3)= 1/3 - Not Possible because we need a value of exactly positive 1.

for C, (1*2/3)+(2*-1/3)= 0 - Not Possible because we need a value of exactly positive 1.

for D, (2*2/3)+(1*-1/3)= 3/3 = 1 and therefore D is the answer :D

well yea ur method is also rite in physics u can dervie everything from everything lol   
yea for the next part i dont know the question but if i an not wrong to find the total charge u have to add them
q of proton + q of electron
electron will be negative so
Q1+(-Q2)
so Q1-Q2
in a way ur subtracting them but i think u got my point



lol..yeah you are right dude....:D we derive random stuff whenever we need it...lol.. got my biology practical tommorow....and this year i didn't do any practical...lol...hope all goes well. :D

2) approx diameter of an atom/ion is to the power of 10^-15 ...you have no choice but to know this

11) B  Because there also a normal contact force acting on the wheels vertically up. And there's the forward force by the engine. Their resultant would be B

Title: Re: physics mcq help needed! urgent!
Post by: nid404 on May 17, 2010, 07:07:59 pm
huh?

The ball is first moving towards the racket with a velocity of 20m/s. The ball hits the racket and moves in the opp direction with a velocity of 30m/s

so the change in momentum is given by

mv-mu

v=30m/s
u=-20m/s (- sign cause it's in the opp direction)

30X0.1kg-(-20X0.1kg)=5kgm/s

so B

oiii...my bad.

well for that question

they won't stick together, they possibly can't because they both have the same mass and same velocity but are moving towards each other. For them to stick, either one has to have a greater mass or a greater velocity

So B is the answer
because in an elastic collision, k.e is conserved

before collision k.e= 1/mv2 + 1/2 mv2= mv2
so after collision this k.e will be conserved.

The other statements ain't possible either

same paper q28..i always get confused in question which relate to wave. In this question too i got stuck. In the fig, point X is shown above 'O' so the path difference should be 'n' whole number. Therefore, we get a bright fringe. Thus the path difference should be S2X - S1X = lambda .

then why is the answer C..can't get!!

I'm not too good with waves but...

there's a formula for such type of question

phase difference= (2\pi/\lambda)X path difference

for destructive interference the phase difference should be \pi

so if you rearrange the eqn (i substituted phase difference as \pi

\lambda= (2\pi/ \pi)x path difference

path difference= S2X-S1X

so you get

\lambda= (2) x S2X-S1X
\lambda)/2=S2X-S1X

Post by: vanibharutham on May 17, 2010, 09:08:59 pm
dsin(theta)=n(lambda)

d = slit width
theta = angle of the diffraction
n = diffraction order , whether it is 1st maxima, 2nd maxima etc
lambda = wavelength
you use the formula for single slit diffraction

ii) lambda= ax/D
 lambda = wavelength
a  = distance between slits/ appertures
x = fringe separation
D = distance of slits from screen/eye/ receiver
this formula is used when you deal with Young's Double Slits and the double slit interference fringes - they form a regular pattern of maxima's...regular FRINGES is what they are called


also what is the forumla of finding work done from a graph of F vs extension, (is it area under graph???)
Yes, area under graph

And what is the unit of Young's modulus....
Pascals or N/m²

Also how do we know from a graph whether a material is ductile, plastic elastic etc etc
 Ductile = the graph has a large plastic deformation region
elastic = straight line in the Hooke's Law Region... anything after that it is plastic
Toughness = the greater the area under a curve the tougher the material
Brittle = straight line and no plastic deformation, just a sudden SNAP
any others?

Q30) E=V/d

also  E=F/q
equate:
V/d=F/q
we have to find "q"
so:
660/(15/1000)=F/(4.8*10^-19)
dont forget to change the 15mm to m thats why we divide by 1000
and simply cross multiply.

ok c :
ke= 1/2mv^2
lets ignore the "m" for now
so we could make use of values here
lets take ke=2
solving:
 2=1/2mv^2
sqrt4= 2=v
therefore     v=2

if it increase by factor of 4 that means:
2*4=8
ke=1/2mV^2
8=1/2mV^2
sqrt16=4=V
V=4

then  V/v = 4/2 = 2

The answer is B
The maxima and minima would on the graph i.e. A and C would occur at the middle of the motion... where speed is maximum..
therefore u can cross out A and C,
deciding between B and D ---
u know that at both points B and D the velocit is zero...
but u have to think... for the minimum point on the movement... the gradient at the point of the graph has to be negative.. (decreasing) ... and at point B.. the gradient (of tangent) is negative

hope it helps :D

ur right...

time to fall 40m = (2(40)/9.81)^0.5 = 2.85
time to fall 30 m = (2(30)/9.81)^0.5 = 2.47

u=0
a=9.8
s=ut +1/2at^2
s=1/2at^2
sqrt(40*2/9.8)= t
t1= 2.857


now find for the first 30m
same thing except substitute "s" with 30m
u will get=2.47
t2= 2.47

t1-t2= 2.857 - 2.47= 0.38

10 -Momentum = mv
also momentum = Ft

mv=Ft
F=(mv)/t
Average F = change in momentum / change in time
t2-t1 is the change in time...
change in momentum is P2-P1
therfore the answer is
p2-p1/t2-t1




the answer is B

i know it is answered but the corect answer is p1-p2/t2-t1

hi guys

thanks in advance. :)

consider p.e at P as X. So p.e at Q is (X-50) J
k.e at P is 5kJ...that means p.e+k.e at P is X+5 kJ and W.d against friction is 10kJ. therefore at the lowest point it has (X+5)-10 kJ of energy=X-5 kJ
p.e at Q is X-50...the difference is....k.e at Q is given by
X-5-(X-50)= 45kJ

PS.i didnt solve this someone else did

ok for this question  between X and Y  u will find one full wave that would be 2pie
from X to the beginning of that full wave the distance is 90 degree or pie/2 same thing
and from Y to the end of that full wave the distance is also 90 degrees or pie/2
add all of these together
90 degrees + 90 degrees= pie
pie + 2pie (the middle wave we found out) = 3 pie
therefore C

Q33) R= L/A
V=A *L
when u double the length
V/L=A
V/2L=A
back to the main equation
R=L/A
R=2L /V/2L
R=4L^2/V
V=A*L
substitute  in the coloured equation
R= 4L^2/A*L
4L/A
L/A=R
therefore  4R so its D

it says 2mm^2 has a current of 10 A. you need to find the no of electrons passing through 2mm^2 in 1 second.
Q=It=10*1=10C
1e has a charge of 1.6*10^-19C
x electrons will have 10C
10*1/1.6*10^-19=6.3*10^23electrons

Q 18 -->pressure of a liquid is defined as
P= density x g x h

in q 18... think when the right side increases by h, the left side decreases by h...
so the difference between the heights becomes 2h..
to calculate pressure... substitute 2h instead of h and you get
P = 2h x roh x g
which is D

Q 33 --->in a parallel circuit... the votage is same for all the resistors as in q 33...
the voltage is 3-1.2 = 1.8... (cells connected in opposite directions so u subtract)
we know that I=V/R
V=1.8, R=9
I= 1.8/9 = 0.2 A
the answer is B
