The hill is inclined at an angle of 30 to the horizon. Sketch the velocity-time graph that represents the motion of the tyre rolling down the hill. (b) A projectile travelling with an initial velocity at an angle to the horizontal plane will undergo vertical acceleration at constant horizontal speed if air resistance is negligible.

Raindrops refract the shorter wavelengths the most. Red, with the longest wavelength, is refracted the least. Violet, with the shortest wavelength, is refracted the most.

In normal adjustment, the distance between the lenses is equal to the sum of their individual focal lengths. 3. a) Faradays law states that the magnitude of the induced e.m.f is directly proportional to the rate of change of magnetic flux or the rate of cutting of the magnetic flux. For a straight wire, the induced e.m.f can be increased by 1. increasing the speed of the motion 2. increasing the strength of the magnetic field Or For a solenoid, the induced e.m.f can be increased by 1. increasing the speed of the relative motion 2. increasing the number of turns 3. using a stronger magnet b) Electrical energy is transformed from other forms of energy which the resources of energy is either renewable or nonrenewable. Electricity is generated in power stations by huge generator known as alternators. The electromagnets (the rotor) are rotated by turbines while the coils and iron core (the stator) are rest. The generation of electricity is based on electromagnetic induction c) The loss of power in the transmission of electricity can be reduced by reducing the current and increasing the voltage in the cables. Before the electrical power is transmitted by the cables, a step-up transformer is to step up the voltage of alternating current. An electrical devices used by consumer mostly uses 110V or 120V of electric current. A step-down transformer steps down the voltage so that the power is delivered at a voltage that suitable to operate electrical devices used by consumers.
