First point to note here - the block will only accelerate down the plane, not perpendicular to it. Therefore, there is only one component of acceleration, that is down the slope.

Let's apply Newton's Second Law down the inclined plane:

The component of gravity pulling the block down the plane is 10 Newtons.
The magnitude of friction resisting the downward motion of the block is equal to 4 Newtons.

Therefore, the net force is +10 + (-4) = 6 Newtons down the slope.

According to Newton's Second Law, we can write

6 Newtons = m * a

If the force of gravity on the object is 20 Newtons, and the acceleration due to gravity is 10 ms^-2, then we can write (using the relation Weight = mg)

20 Newtons = Mass * 10 ms^-2

Therefore, Mass = 2 kilograms.

So, 6 Newtons = 2 kilograms * a
Therefore, a = 3 ms^-2 = C.

Hope this helped!
Good Luck for all your exams!

Total resistance in 6 and 3 ohm is 2 ohm, so the voltage will be 6V in d 2 ohm resistor. n 6V across d 6 n 3 ohm resistors respectively. we have the voltage n resistance. so V=I*R, 6=6*I. so current is 1A
View attachment 43614
So if the arrow was drawn in the 3 ohm thingi.. It'd be 6/3 ?
Btw thanks tons :D

q.4
% uncertainty = (uncertainty/reading) * 100
% uncertainty = (0.5/100-40)*100
% uncertainty = ± 0.83% <----- dis is da % uncertainty each time temperature is measured, so when it is measured twice (at 40 °c and 100°c) % uncertainty is added, so % uncertainty in % rise = 0.83% + 0.83% = 1.66% ≈ 1.7%
Answer: D
q.3
p = mv
p² = m²v²
p²/m = m²v²/m = mv² , dis is similar to da formula for KE except for da (1/2) , but becuz (1/2) is a constant n doesnt have any units, da base units of mv² n (1/2)mv² will b same, so answer is A: Energy

Thanks bro :)

---------->Written form :
Frequency: 3000 oscillations in a minute so , 3000/60sec= 50
now Time period= 1/50= 0.02
and so for time base, as this is for one full wave, divide it by 2, 0.02/2= 0.01

7)The horizontal velocity will decrease to 0 as air resistance is acting against it so it will eventually decrease to 0 and the vertical velocity will increase until it reaches a constant value the question is actually related to terminal velocity theory

9)Use v^2 - u^2 = 2as
v has to be zero, since the train has to come to rest eventually.
s = x
The equation becomes: 2ax + u^2 = 0
make 's' distance the subject:
x = - (u^2)/2a
deceleration, i.e -a, is constant in the question.
take the constants out,
you get this relation: x ∝ u^2, i.e, s varies as the square of u.
So when u is increased by 20% (120/100 = 1.2), x will change by (1.20)^2 = 1.44x

Because this question uses basic concepts. It is very important to fully understand all the basic concepts, because the most complex problems can still use basic concepts. Maybe I overdid it on this one, but still - I read somewhere that PhDs teaching at Uni level teach freshers and first year students for the same reason - even though they are experts in the field, they teach the most basic courses because basic concepts are extremely important to get right. Everything else you learn is based on those, so if you understand them perfectly, your further studies become that more easier and better. :)

22)The force acting on the metal X is the same as the force acting on the metal Y(denote it as F) and according to Hooke's law: lambda(modulus of elasticity)/natural length = F/x.
for metal X: lambda = 3*F/x = 3 m*F/1.5 mm= 2000F
for metal Y: lambda = 1*F/x = 1m* F/1.0 mm= 1000F

hence the extension for the second case is:

for metal X: x = F*natural length/(lambda) = F*1 / 2000 F = 0.5 mm
for metal Y: x = F*3 / 1000 F = 3 mm

The total extension is 3.5 mm
