Water flows through a pipe at 4 m/s with a diameter of 0.1 m. The pipe narrows to a diameter of 0.05 m. What is the flow velocity in the narrower section?
Answer: 16 m/s
By the continuity equation, A₁v₁ = A₂v₂; area ratio = (0.1)²/(0.05)² = 4, so v₂ = 4 × 4 = 16 m/s.
In binary, what is the decimal value of 1101?
Answer: 13
1101 in binary = 1×8 + 1×4 + 0×2 + 1×1 = 8 + 4 + 0 + 1 = 13.
Which type of circuit allows current to flow in only one direction?
Answer: Rectifier circuit
A rectifier circuit converts AC to DC, allowing current to flow in only one direction using diodes.
A 10 kg object is on a frictionless surface. A 50 N force is applied. What is the object's acceleration?
Answer: 5 m/s²
Newton's second law: a = F/m = 50 N / 10 kg = 5 m/s².
What is the purpose of a heat sink in electronic devices?
Answer: Dissipate heat away from components
A heat sink absorbs and dissipates heat generated by electronic components to prevent overheating.
A pulley system has a mechanical advantage of 4. How much effort is needed to lift a 200 N load?
Answer: 50 N
Mechanical advantage = Load / Effort, so Effort = Load / MA = 200 / 4 = 50 N.
What does RAM stand for in computer hardware?
Answer: Random Access Memory
RAM stands for Random Access Memory, the volatile memory used for active data and running programs.
