A ball thrown vertically upward reaches a maximum height of 50 m above the level of projection. Calculate the;
(i) time taken to reach the maximum height,
(ii) speed of the throw. [g = 10 ms\(^{-2}\)]
A lead shot is projected from tha ground level with a velocity u at an angle \(\theta\) to the horizontal. Given the time, t for the lead shot to reach its maximum height as; t = \(\frac{u \sin \theta}{g}\) where "g" is the acceleration of free fall due to gravity, show that the greatest height reached by the body is h\(_{\text{max}} = \frac{u^2 \sin^2 \theta}{2g}\)
(a) What is electrolysis?
(b) A current of 2A is passed through a copper voltameter for 5 minutes. If the electrochemical equivalent of copper is 3.27 x 10\(^{-7}\) kg. Determine the mass of the corper deposited.
The value of the e.m.f of a voltaic cell, which has dilute tetraoxosulphate (VI) acid as its electrolyte and copper and zinc as its electrodes becomes less with use. Explain this observation and state how it can be corrected.
(a) What is meant by 'a beam of polarised light?
(b) With the aid of well labelled diagrams, illustrate the action in of a polaroid spectacle on a beam of sunlight.
