1956

(a) (i) What is meant by a machine?

(ii) List two examples of a simple machine.

(iii) Explain the statement — the velocity ratio of a machine is 5.

(b) (i) Define the efficiency of a machine.

(ii) Explain why a machine can never be 100% efficient.

(c) A screw jack, 25% efficient and having a screw of pitch 0.4 cm is used to raise a load through a certain height. If in the process, the handle turns through a circle of radius 40.0 cm, calculate the;

(i) velocity ratio of the machine; (ii) mechanical advantage of the machine; (iii) effort required to raise a load of 1000 N with the machine. [Take \(\pi\) =3.14]

 (a) (i) Define relative density.

(ii) List three characteristics of pressure in a liquid.

(b) The horizontal door of a submarine at a depth of 500m has an area of 0.4m\(^{2}\). Calculate the force exerted by the sea water on the door at this depth. [Relative density of sea water = 1.03 ] [Atmospheric pressure =- 1.01 x 10\(^{5}\) Nm\(^{-2}\)] [Density of pure water = 1000kgm\(^{-3}\)] [g = 10ms\(^{-2}\)]

(c) (i) List three effects of heat other than expansion.

(ii) Explain saturated vapour pressure.

(iii) A heating coil of resistance 20 \(\Omega\) connected to a 220 V source is used to boil a certain quantity of water in a container of heat capacity 100 J kg\(^{-1}\) for 2 minutes. If the initial temperature of the water is 40° C, calculate the mass of the water in the container. [specific heat capacity of water = 4.2 x 10\(^3\) Jkg\(^{-1}\) K\(^{-1}\)] [assume boiling point of water = 100°C]

(a) Define the following terms as applied to a convex mirror:

(i) principal focus; (ii) pole (iii) radius of curvature.

(b) State one advantage and one disadvantage of using a convex mirror as a driving mirror.

(c) Draw a clearly labelled diagram to illustrate how two converging lenses may be arranged to form a compound microscope.

(d) An object 2.5 mm long is viewed through a converging lens of focal length 10.0 cm held close to the eye. A magnified image of the object is formed 30.0 cm from the lens. Calculate the:

(i) distance of the object from the lens; (ii) size of the image; (iii) power of the lens.

 (a) Define: (i) reactance; (ii) impedance.

(b)(i) Explain resonant frequency of an RLC circuit.

(ii) Explain the statement — the power supply voltage of a source is 230V

(c) A source of e.m.f 240V and frequency 50 Hz is connected to a series arrangement of a resistor, an inductor and a capacitor. When the current in the capacitor is 10A, the potential difference across the resistor is 140 V and that across the inductor is 50 V. Calculate the:

(i) potential difference across the capacitor (ii) capacitance of the capacitor; (iii) inductance of the indicator.

(d) Draw and label one vector diagram for the potential differences across the inductor, the capacitor and the resistor in (c) above.
