At what temperature will the Celsius scale coincide with the Fahrenheit scale? | Physics Past Questions

The relation between the Fahrenheit and Celsius scale is given by the equation.
⇒(∘F−32)180=∘C100

Now, let us assume that Fahrenheit and Celsius scale coincide at x∘
Therefore,
⇒(∘x−32)180=∘x100
ON solving,
We get,
⇒59(∘x−32)=∘x
Therefore,
⇒x=−40∘
Therefore, Celsius and Fahrenheit scale coincide at -40 degrees.

A 500kg truck moving with a velocity of 6m/s collides with a stationary 100kg car… | Physics Past Questions

Mass of truck, m¹=500kg
Velocity of truck, v¹=6m/s
Mass of car, m²=100kg
Velocity of car, v²=0m/s
m¹v¹+m²v²=(m¹+m²)V
Where V is the common velocity after collision
(500*6)+(100*0)=(500+100)V
3000+0=600V
V=$$\cfrac{3000}{600}$$
V=5m/s

A gas which obeys Charles law exactly has a volume of 283cm$$^{3}$$ at 10$$^{\circ}$$C. what is the volume at 30$$^{\circ}$$C?… | Physics Past Questions

Volume, V¹=283cm³
Temperature, T¹=10°C
Converting 10°C To Kelvin =10+273=283K
Volume, V²=?
Temperature, T²=30°C
Converting 30°C To Kelvin=30+273=303K

$$\cfrac{V¹}{T¹}=\cfrac{V²}{T²}$$
$$\cfrac{283}{283}=\cfrac{V²}{303}$$
$$V²=\cfrac{283*303}{283}$$
V²=303cm³

An object is placed between 2 mirrors inclined at an angle of 120$$^{\circ}$$ an… | Physics Past Questions

Let the number of images formed be n
And the angle of inclination be $$\theta$$
n=360/$$\theta$$
If n is even, we subtract one
But if n is odd, we leave it
Now, n=360÷180
n=3
Now, n is even so we subtract one from it
n=3-1
n=2

A ball is projected horizontally from the top of a hill with a velocity of 20m/s…. | Physics Past Questions

Initial velocity, u=20m/s
Time, t=4s
Acceleration due to gravity, g=10m/s²
Height of the hill, h=?
h=ut$$\pm$$½gt²
h is positive because the body is falling down
h=ut+½gt²
h=(20$$\times$$4)+½$$\times$$10$$\times$$4²
=80+80
=160m

If the linear expansivity of a metal rod is 4 $$\times$$ 10$$^{-5}$$ per $$^{\circ}$$C, what will be the new length of the rod if it is heated from 15$$^{\circ}$$C t… | Physics Past Questions

Coefficient of linear eapsnsivity,$$\alpha=4\times10^-⁵$$
Change in temperature, $$\Delta\theta=95°C-15°C =80° C$$
Original length, l¹=20cm
Final length, l²=xcm
$$\alpha=(l²-l¹)÷l¹\Delta\theta 4\times10^–⁵=(x-20)÷(20\times80) x=20.064cm$$

A truck traveling with a velocity of 40m/s applies the brakes and comes to a halt… | Physics Past Questions

Initial velocity, u=40m/s
Time, t=20s
Final velocity, v=0m/s since the truck is coming to a halt
Acceleration, a=?
But,
v=u+at
0=40+a(20)
0=40+20a
20a=-40
a=-2m/s²
To find the distance traveled,
v²=u²+2as
0²=40²+2(-2)(s)
0=1600-4s
4s=1600
s=400m

The interest at the end of one year will be
₦1,000,000*4%=₦4,000
Total amount of money at the end of one year
=₦1,000,000+₦4,000
=₦1,040,000
The interest at the end of two years will be
₦1,040,000*4%=₦41,600
Total amount of money at the end of two years
=₦1,040,000+₦41,600
=₦1,081,600
The interest at the end of three years will be
₦1,081,600*40%=₦43,264
Total amount of money at the end of three years
=₦1,081,600+₦43,264
=₦1,124,864
