A ball of mass 5.0kg hits a smooth vertical wall normally with a speed of 2m-1 and rebounds with the same speed. Determine the impulse experienced by the ball
An object is heated from 30ºC to 57ºC. The increases in its temperature on the Kelvin scale is
The lower and upper fixed points of a mecury-in-glass thermometer are marked Y and 180mm respectively. On a particular the mecury meniscus in the thermometer rises to 45mm. If the corresponding reading on a scale is 10o, calculate the value of Y.
A piece of brass of mass 170kg has its temperature raised from 0ºC to 30ºC. Calculate its increase in volume, given the density of brass at 0 °C as 8.5 x 103kgm\(^3\) and its cubic expansivity as 5.7 x 10\(^{-5}\)k\(^{-1}\)
