A 15kg mass, suspended from a ceiling, is pulled aside with a horizontal force, F, as shown in the diagram above. Calculate the value of the tension, T. (g = 10ms-2)
A trolley of mass 4kg moving on a smooth horizontal platform with a speed of 1.0ms-1 collides perfectly with a stationary trolley of the same mass on the same platform. Calculate the total momentum of the two trolleys immediately after the collision.
The ice point of an ungraduated mercury-in-glass thermometer is X, while its steam point is 90o. This thermometer reads 60o when the true temperature is 40oC Calculate the value of X.
