Which of the graphs in the figure is correct for sin i (Y) plotted against sin r (X) for light moving from air into a rectangular glass block?
The figure is the velocity-time graph of a moving body. The distance during the first 10 s is:
300 m.

The figure shows a hydraulic system which may be used to lift a car. The hydraulic jack system is:
A pressure multiplier.
A volume multiplier.
An energy multiplier.
A force multiplier.
The figure shows a hydraulic system which may be used to lift a car.
Why is oil preferred to water in the jack system?
Oil has less bubbles of air than water.
Water is easily compressible.
Oil evaporates less than water.
Water is a transparent liquid.
The principle on which the above system functions is based on:
Equal transmission of force.
Equal transmission of the oil.
Equal transmission of pressure.
Equal transmission of energy.
The mechanical advantage of the defined as the ratio of:
Load to effort.
distance moved by load to distance moved by effort.
Effort to load.
distance moved by load.
The setup in the figure is an apparatus used to measure the specific heat capacity of a liquid.
The calorimeter is lagged in order to:
Prevent heat loss to the surroundings.
Prevent evaporation of the liquid.
Ensure even distribution of heat.
Ensure good electrical conduction.
The setup in the figure is an apparatus used to measure the specific heat capacity of a liquid. The thermometer is used to:
Measure temperature of liquid before.
Maintain a constant temperature.
Measure temperature of liquid and after heating.
Ensure even distribution of heat in the liquid.
The specific heat capacity of the liquid can be calculated using the formula:
c = IVt / m△θ.
c = IVt + m△θ.
c = m△θ / IVt.
c = IVt - m△θ.
The setup in the figure is an apparatus used to measure the specific heat capacity of a liquid. The stirrer is used to ensure that:
the liquid cools faster.
the cold liquid from the bottom rises.
the heat is evenly distributed.
the liquid evaporates evenly.
