5. Solved by Mr Epimark …………….0659887205

(a) Impulse = m (v –u)
Where, m = mass of harmer, v = final velocity, u = initial velocity
Impulse = 3kg x (0 -5m/s)
Impulse = -15kg.m/s
The negative indicates that impulse is in opposite direction to the initial direction of
harmer

6. Solved by maetinelucas86@ -0746651051 + sir martin ndolyo - 0613232831

(a) Solid in hot water

When solid get heated its temperature increases which increases thermal energy of the
molecules, resulting to increase in amplitude of vibrations, means space between molecules
also increases, hence solid expands.

(b) Data

Mass of metal, = 200g = 0.2kg

Initial temperature of metal = 000

Mass of water = 50g = 0.05kg

Temperature of water = 00

Let final temperature of mixture be

Heat lost by metal = heat gained by water

Examination focus series 0685621967 if you don’t ask the remains no forever

From I =
 Current through 1 Ω , I= 4

 From potential = IR

Potential at 3Ω = Potential at 6Ω
Then
Current, I at 6Ω
Total potential = pd at 1 +pd at 6Ω
12V = I
12V = 4 +6 I
I

Now potential at 6Ω = 1.33A 6Ω =7.98 V

Also potential at 3Ω = 8V
Then current, I = = 2.67A

(c) Time = 11:00pm - 6:00pm = 5hrs

1unit = Tsh80
Total power = 0.25kw+0.5kw +3.0kw+2.0kw =5.75kw
Power consumed in kWh = 5.75kw x 5hrs = 28.75kwh
If 1unit = 1kwh, then 28.75kwh = 28.75units
Costs will be as follows
1 unit = Tsh 80
28.75unit = x
Solve get x = 2300Tsh
The cost = 2300

For speed of sound in air =330m/s

Examination focus series 0685621967 if you don’t ask the remains no forever

Let the distance from P to the wall Y = d

-Time for sound to travel to wall x and back to p, = 0.2seconds
0
-time to travel to wall Y and back to P, =

Then distance between walls x and y = 33+99 =132m

(b) Diagram of induction coil

Function of induction coil

 produce high voltage alternating current from low voltage direct current
 Stores energy in form of magnetic field in the core.
 Used to produce sparks in internal combustion of engines

(c) (i) When the door is closed, the normally closed (NC) switch is closed,
completing the circuit. Current flows through the coil of the relay,
energizing it. The relay’s contact close, completing the circuit alarm, which
remains inactive. When the doors open , the normally closed switch opens ,
interrupting current flow to the relay coil. The relay de-energizes , its
contacts open , and the alarm circuit is completed , activating the alarm.
(ii) This system is “fail-safe” because if there’s a failure in the circuit (e.g.
Examination focus series 0685621967 if you don’t ask the remains no forever

wire breaks, or the relay malfunctions). This can cause the alarm sound if
there is a break in the circuit, indicating potential breach.
