(a) With aid of diagram explain transverse wave (b) A wave is represented by the equation y ! 0.3 sin 2T 4 x  0.5t , where t is in seconds. Determine (i) the wavelength (ii) the frequency (iii) the speed of the wave 3. (a) What is rectilinear motion (b) The velocity v of a transverse wave along a stretched string depends on the stress, S, the density, , of the material and the length L. By using the dimension method obtain the equation. 4. (a) Mention two conditions for a body to be in equilibrium (b) A 5.0m long uniform plank is supported at its centre of gravity. A 30kg girl sits at one end of the plank. A second girl sits 0.3mfrom the other end. Calculate the girls weight if the plank is in equilibrium horizontally. 5. (a) Write the 3 equations of motion (b) A flight from Lagos to Frankfurt, which is a distance of 4750km takes 6hrs 5min. what is planes average velocity? 6. (a) What is power?

(a) State the law of conservation of linear momentum (b) 0.001kg bullet is fired with a velocity of 800m/s into a soft wood of mass 1kg, resting on a smooth surface. Find the final velocity if the bullet is fully embedded in the wood after the collision. 8. (a) State Newtons law of universal gravitation (b) A grind wheel is started from rest, given an angular acceleration of 3rad/s2. Calculate its (i) angular velocity (ii) angular displacement 8s after starting to rotate 9. (a) Define linear expansivity

(b) A steel rod increases its length by 5mm when the temperature increases by 100C. What is the initial length of the rod if the coefficient of linear expansion for steel is 1.1 10-5per 0C? 10.(a) Differentiate between the conduction and convection (b) An ideal gas occupies a volume of 1 liter at 1 atmos. and -500C. What is the volume occupied when it is compressed to 3 atmos. at a temperature of 300C.
