An object of mass 0.25kg moves at a height h above the ground with a speed of 4ms-1, if its mechanical energy at this height is 12 J, determine the value of h. [g = 10ms-1]
A metal rod of length 50cm is heated from 40oC to 80oC. If the linear expansivity of the material is \(\alpha\), calculate the increase in length of the rod (in metres) in terms of \(\alpha\)
The cubic expansivity of a certain gas at constant pressure is \(\frac{1}{273} k^{-1}\). If a given mass of the gas is held at constant pressure and its volume at 0oC is 273m3, determine the volume of the gas at 273oC.
