Q33 Needs an explanation. Answer is A.
R= pL/A and Ohms Law V=IR hence the thickest conductor has the least resistance so the smallest Voltage drop across the thickest conductor.A is answer. The potential drop with distance is represented by grad of graph so the value of the grad drop should be the smallest for the thickest conductor Since thre is a potential drop gad is -ve.

In one such pump the long approach pipe holds 500kg of water. A valve shuts when the speed of
this water reaches 2.0ms–1 and the kinetic energy of this water is used to lift a small quantity of
water by a height of 15m.
The efficiency of the pump is 10%.
Which mass of water could be lifted 15m?
A 0.15kg B 0.68kg C 1.5kg D 6.8kg

A 0.15kg B 0.68kg C 1.5kg D 6.8kg

Answer:

I guess,
K . E= 1/2 x m x v2(squared)
= 1/2 x 500 x 2 (2)
=1000 J

then,
G.p.e = mgh
re-arrange to
m= G.p.e/( g x h)
=1000J / (9.81 x 15 )
= 6.8kg


6.8kg for 100%
m1 kg for 10%
cross multiply to get 0.68kg so answer is B.

Solve this please... Answer is C. I get A :p
You get diameter 4.81mm so for radius d/2 and convet mm to m.
In m 4.81/2/1000
Next u find the volume using 4/3pi r^3
Density =mass(kg)/volume(m^3)
Convert g to kg 0.450/1000 ÷vol and you get C as the answer.
