(a) Explain the term net force.

(b) Define the principle of conservation of linear momentum and state one example of it.

(c) A ball of mass 200 g released from a height of 2.0 m hits a horizontal floor and rebounds to a height of 1.8 in. Calculate the impulse received by the floor. (g = 10 ms\(^{-2}\)).

(d) A body of mass 20 g performs a simple harmonic motion at a frequency of 5 Hz. At a distance of 10 cm from the mean position, its velocity is 200 cms\(^{-1}\). Calculate its:

(i) maximum displacement from the mean position;

(ii) maximum velocity;

(a) Explain the terms:

(i) thermal equilibrium;

(ii) fundamental interval.

 

(b) List two uses of the hydraulic press.

 

(c) Name the material used to reset the steel index in the Six's maximum and minimum thermometer.

 

(d)(i) A nursing mother prepared her baby's milk mixture at 85°C, in a feeding bottle. In order to cool it to 40°C, she immersed the bottle in an aluminium bowl of heat capacity 90 JK\(^{-1}\) containing 500 g of water at 26°C. If the mass of the mixture is 300g, calculate the specific heat capacity of the mixture. [Neglect heat losses and heat capacity of the bottle; specific heat capacity of water = 4200 J kg\(^{-1}\) K\(^{-1}\)]

(ii) (\(\alpha\)) Name two ways through which the bottle losses heat.

(\(\beta\)) Name two industrial processes in which heat exchanger is used.

(a) Define critical angle.

(b) How are anti-nodes created in a stationary wave?

(c) The angle of minimum deviation of an equilateral triangular glass prism is 46.2°. Calculate the refractive index of the glass.

(d) An illuminated object is placed in front of a concave mirror and the position of a screen is adjusted in front of the mirror but no image is obtained on the screen. Give two possible reasons for this observation.

(e) An illuminated object is placed at a distance of 75 cm from a converging lens of focal length 30 cm.

(i) Determine the image distance.

(ii) If the lens is replaced by another converging lens, the object has to be moved 25 cm further away to have its sharp image on the screen. Determine the focal length of the second lens.
