An Electric Kettle is used to boil water. After the water is boiled, the temperature of the water decreases by 22C. The mass of water in the kettle is 0.50 kg. The specific heat capacity of water is 4200 J/kg C. Calculate the energy transferred.

First, we need to recognise which equation to use. From the Physics Equation Sheet, we can see that the correct equation here is that dQ=mcdT, where dQ is the Energy transfer. Using this equation...

A ball is launched upwards at 30 degrees to horizontal with a velocity of 20 metres per second, how far does it travel before landing? (no air resistance)

Vertcal component of velocity: 20Sin(30)

Rearrange suvat equation for t in terms of u, a, s

t is the time in the air and is what we want, u is 20sin(30), a is -9.81 (negative since gravity p...

Two immobile point charges Q1 and Q2 of values +q and +3q respectively are some distance apart. Q3, with value +2q is placed between them and does not move. What is the ratio of the distance between Q3 and Q2 to the distance between Q1 and Q3?

As Q3 remains stationary, it is clear that it is not accelerating. Thus we can deduce from Newton's second law that there is no resultant force acting upon the charge. However there are still e...

Find the speed of a wave.

To solve that we get given that a wave generator produces three waves per second at a wavelenght of 1.2 meters.

To tackle this you can use the formula v= f * lambda (speed = frequency * wavelength)...

For a car with a mass of 1200kg, how long will it take for it to accelerate to 25m/s, starting from rest, with a total driving force of 1,500N?

This can be solved in 2 main sections: the first to find the acceleration of the car, and then the second to find how long it spends accelerating. To find the acceleration, Newton's 2nd Law (F=ma) can be ...
