The 4th4^{\text{th}} term of an arithmetic progression (A.P.) is 1515 and the 9th9^{\text{th}} term is 3535. Calculate the sum of the first 1010 terms of the progression.

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 210

Cevap

The sum of the first 10 terms of the progression is 210.
Using the nthn^{\text{th}} term formula Tn=a+(n1)dT_n = a + (n-1)d, the equations a+3d=15a + 3d = 15 and a+8d=35a + 8d = 35 yield common difference d=4d = 4 and first term a=3a = 3. Substituting these into the sum formula Sn=n2[2a+(n1)d]S_n = \frac{n}{2}[2a + (n-1)d] for n=10n = 10 yields S10=5[2(3)+9(4)]=210S_{10} = 5[2(3) + 9(4)] = 210.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Set up equations for the given terms
a+3d=15a + 3d = 15 and a+8d=35a + 8d = 35
The nthn^{\text{th}} term of an A.P. is given by Tn=a+(n1)dT_n = a + (n-1)d.
2
Solve for the common difference dd
d=4d = 4
Subtracting (a+3d=15)(a + 3d = 15) from (a+8d=35)(a + 8d = 35) gives 5d=205d = 20, so d=4d = 4.
3
Solve for the first term aa
a=3a = 3
Substituting d=4d = 4 into a+3(4)=15a + 3(4) = 15 yields a=1512=3a = 15 - 12 = 3.
4
Calculate the sum of the first 10 terms
S10=210S_{10} = 210
Applying S10=102[2(3)+9(4)]=5(6+36)=210S_{10} = \frac{10}{2}[2(3) + 9(4)] = 5(6 + 36) = 210.

An alternating current (AC) series circuit contains a resistor, an inductor, and a capacitor. The root-mean-square (RMS) potential differences measured across the resistor, inductor, and capacitor are 80 V80\text{ V}, 110 V110\text{ V}, and 50 V50\text{ V}, respectively. What is the total supply voltage across the circuit in volts?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 100

Cevap

The total supply voltage across the series AC circuit is 100 V100\text{ V}.
In a series alternating current circuit, the voltages across the resistor, inductor, and capacitor are not in phase. The resistor voltage is in phase with the current, whereas inductor voltage leads by 9090^\circ and capacitor voltage lags by 9090^\circ. The total voltage is calculated using vector addition: V=VR2+(VLVC)2V = \sqrt{V_R^2 + (V_L - V_C)^2}. Substituting the given values gives V=802+(11050)2=802+602=6400+3600=100 VV = \sqrt{80^2 + (110 - 50)^2} = \sqrt{80^2 + 60^2} = \sqrt{6400 + 3600} = 100\text{ V}.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the RMS potential differences across each component.
VR=80 VV_R = 80\text{ V}, VL=110 VV_L = 110\text{ V}, and VC=50 VV_C = 50\text{ V}.
In a series AC circuit, voltages across reactive components are out of phase with the resistor voltage.
2
Calculate the net reactive voltage difference between the inductor and capacitor.
VLVC=110 V50 V=60 VV_L - V_C = 110\text{ V} - 50\text{ V} = 60\text{ V}.
Inductive voltage leads current by 9090^\circ while capacitive voltage lags current by 9090^\circ, making them 180180^\circ out of phase with each other.
3
Determine total supply voltage using vector (phasor) addition.
V=VR2+(VLVC)2=802+602=6400+3600=10000=100 VV = \sqrt{V_R^2 + (V_L - V_C)^2} = \sqrt{80^2 + 60^2} = \sqrt{6400 + 3600} = \sqrt{10000} = 100\text{ V}.
The resistive voltage and net reactive voltage are perpendicular (9090^\circ phase angle difference).

A monochromatic beam of light with a wavelength of 600 nm600\text{ nm} in air enters a glass block of refractive index 1.501.50. What is the wavelength of the light inside the glass block in nanometers (nm\text{nm})?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 400

Cevap

The wavelength of the light inside the glass block is 400 nm400\text{ nm}.
The speed and wavelength of light both decrease by a factor of the refractive index nn when entering a medium from air, while the frequency stays constant (v=fλv = f\lambda). Thus, λ=λ0n=6001.50=400 nm\lambda = \frac{\lambda_0}{n} = \frac{600}{1.50} = 400\text{ nm}.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the relevant formula connecting refractive index and wavelength
λ=λ0n\lambda = \frac{\lambda_0}{n}
When light passes from air into a medium, its frequency remains unchanged while its speed and wavelength decrease proportionally by a factor of the refractive index nn.
2
Substitute the given values into the equation
λ=600 nm1.50\lambda = \frac{600\text{ nm}}{1.50}
The wavelength in air is 600 nm600\text{ nm} and the refractive index of glass is 1.501.50.
3
Perform the calculation
λ=400 nm\lambda = 400\text{ nm}
Dividing 600600 by 1.501.50 yields 400400.

The yy-intercept of the tangent line is 6.
Differentiating y=x36x+8y = x^3 - 6x + 8 yields dydx=3x26\frac{dy}{dx} = 3x^2 - 6. At x=1x = 1, the point on the curve is (1,3)(1, 3) and the gradient of the tangent is m=3m = -3. Substituting into the point-slope form y3=3(x1)y - 3 = -3(x - 1) gives y=3x+6y = -3x + 6. Setting x=0x = 0 identifies the yy-intercept as 6.

Cevap

Oscillating electric charge in a vacuum matches non-mechanical wave with perpendicular field oscillations; pressure pulse in argon gas matches mechanical longitudinal wave with parallel oscillations; shear pulse on a stretched string matches mechanical transverse wave with perpendicular particle oscillations; water ripple on deep water matches mechanical surface wave with combined circular motion.
The correct pairings align each physical wave scenario with its underlying propagation mechanics. The oscillating charge producing field variations in a vacuum represents a non-mechanical transverse electromagnetic wave. The pressure disturbance in argon represents a longitudinal mechanical wave because fluids transmit energy through density compressions. The pulse on a stretched string is a transverse mechanical wave enabled by string tension. Surface water ripples are two-dimensional interface waves exhibiting combined longitudinal and transverse particle movement.

Cevap: 2-2 or 1313

Cevap

The values of yy that satisfy the simultaneous equations are 2-2 or 1313.
Rearranging the linear equation gives y=103xy = 10 - 3x. Substituting this into x2+y=14x^2 + y = 14 yields x2+103x=14x^2 + 10 - 3x = 14, which simplifies to x23x4=0x^2 - 3x - 4 = 0. Factoring gives (x4)(x+1)=0(x - 4)(x + 1) = 0, so x=4x = 4 or x=1x = -1. Substituting x=4x = 4 into y=103xy = 10 - 3x gives y=2y = -2, and substituting x=1x = -1 gives y=13y = 13. Thus, the required values of yy are 2-2 or 1313.

Cevap: 4.5 atm4.5\text{ atm}

Cevap

The final pressure exerted by the gas is 4.5 atm4.5\text{ atm}.
According to the Pressure Law (Gay-Lussac's Law), the pressure of a fixed mass of gas at constant volume is directly proportional to its absolute temperature (P1/T1=P2/T2P_1/T_1 = P_2/T_2). Converting temperatures to Kelvin gives T1=27+273=300 KT_1 = 27 + 273 = 300\text{ K} and T2=177+273=450 KT_2 = 177 + 273 = 450\text{ K}. Solving for P2=3.0×(450/300)=4.5 atmP_2 = 3.0 \times (450 / 300) = 4.5\text{ atm}.

1
Convert all given temperatures from Celsius to Kelvin
T1=27+273=300 KT_1 = 27 + 273 = 300\text{ K}, T2=177+273=450 KT_2 = 177 + 273 = 450\text{ K}
Gas laws require absolute temperature measured in Kelvin.
2
State the Pressure Law equation relating pressure and absolute temperature at constant volume
P1T1=P2T2\frac{P_1}{T_1} = \frac{P_2}{T_2}
At constant volume, the pressure of a fixed mass of gas is directly proportional to its absolute temperature.
3
Substitute the known values into the equation and solve for final pressure (P2P_2)
P2=P1×T2T1=3.0×450300=4.5 atmP_2 = P_1 \times \frac{T_2}{T_1} = 3.0 \times \frac{450}{300} = 4.5\text{ atm}

Cevap: Nigeria balanced NAM political non-alignment with pragmatic economic nationalism, utilizing OPEC price mechanisms to maximize domestic revenue while preserving trade relationships with major Western consumers.

Cevap

Nigeria balanced Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) political non-alignment with pragmatic economic nationalism, utilizing OPEC price mechanisms to maximize domestic revenue while preserving trade relationships with major Western consumers.
Nigeria's foreign policy under successive administrations navigated the Cold War era by adopting political non-alignment while maintaining an essential economic relationship with Western trade partners. Joining OPEC in 1971 enabled Nigeria to assert national control over its oil resources and secure market revenues through collective pricing without compromising its non-aligned diplomatic status.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze the core foreign policy objectives of Nigeria within the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM)
NAM promoted political independence, non-adherence to Cold War power blocs, anti-colonialism, and sovereign equality among developing nations.
Establishing the political baseline of Nigerian foreign policy principles is necessary to evaluate external trade-offs.
2
Evaluate the economic dynamics of Nigeria's membership in OPEC starting in 1971
OPEC functioned as an economic cartel aimed at coordinating production quotas and securing fair petroleum pricing for revenue-dependent developing countries.
Identifies the primary motive of OPEC participation as national fiscal interest and resource stewardship.
3
Synthesize the interaction between NAM political non-alignment and OPEC economic pragmatism
Nigeria maintained diplomatic independence from superpower blocs while engaging in commercial oil trade with Western markets, demonstrating that economic national interest took precedence over rigid ideological confrontation.
Examines how foreign policy formulation resolves competing political and economic priorities.

Which of the following expressions represents the correct dimensions of pressure?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: ML1T2M L^{-1} T^{-2}

Cevap

ML1T2M L^{-1} T^{-2}
Pressure is defined as Force divided by Area. Substituting the fundamental dimensions gives Force as MLT2M L T^{-2} and Area as L2L^2. Dividing Force by Area results in MLT2L2=ML1T2\frac{M L T^{-2}}{L^2} = M L^{-1} T^{-2}. Therefore, the expression ML1T2M L^{-1} T^{-2} is correct.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
State the physical definition formula for pressure
Pressure P=ForceAreaP = \frac{\text{Force}}{\text{Area}}
Pressure is defined as force applied perpendicular to a surface per unit area.
2
Substitute fundamental dimensions for force and area
[P]=[MLT2][L2][P] = \frac{[M L T^{-2}]}{[L^2]}
Force has dimensions MLT2M L T^{-2} and area has dimensions L2L^2.
3
Simplify the index of length LL
[P]=ML12T2=ML1T2[P] = M L^{1 - 2} T^{-2} = M L^{-1} T^{-2}
Applying the rules of indices for length gives L1L2=L1L^1 \cdot L^{-2} = L^{-1}.

When the polynomial P(x)=x32x2+ax+8P(x) = x^3 - 2x^2 + ax + 8 is divided by (x3)(x - 3), the remainder is 1414. What is the value of the constant aa?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: -1

Cevap

The value of the constant aa is 1-1.
According to the Remainder Theorem, dividing P(x)P(x) by (x3)(x - 3) means the remainder is P(3)P(3). Evaluating P(3)=332(3)2+3a+8=2718+3a+8=17+3aP(3) = 3^3 - 2(3)^2 + 3a + 8 = 27 - 18 + 3a + 8 = 17 + 3a. Setting this equal to the remainder 1414 gives 17+3a=1417 + 3a = 14, which simplifies to 3a=33a = -3 and yields a=1a = -1.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Apply the Remainder Theorem
The remainder when P(x)P(x) is divided by (x3)(x - 3) is equal to P(3)P(3).
The Remainder Theorem states that dividing a polynomial P(x)P(x) by (xc)(x - c) yields a remainder equal to P(c)P(c).
2
Substitute x=3x = 3 into the polynomial and set equal to the given remainder
332(3)2+a(3)+8=143^3 - 2(3)^2 + a(3) + 8 = 14
Setting the value of P(3)P(3) equal to 1414 allows us to form a linear equation for the unknown constant aa.
3
Simplify numerical terms in the equation
2718+3a+8=14    17+3a=1427 - 18 + 3a + 8 = 14 \implies 17 + 3a = 14
Evaluate exponents and multiplication to isolate the term containing aa.
4
Solve for aa
3a=3    a=13a = -3 \implies a = -1
Subtract 1717 from both sides and divide by 33.

Cevap: 7

Cevap

The length of side zz is 7 cm7\text{ cm}.
Using the Cosine Rule z2=x2+y22xycosZz^2 = x^2 + y^2 - 2xy \cos Z, substituting x=3x = 3, y=8y = 8, and Z=60\angle Z = 60^\circ yields z2=32+822(3)(8)(0.5)=9+6424=49z^2 = 3^2 + 8^2 - 2(3)(8)(0.5) = 9 + 64 - 24 = 49. Taking the positive square root gives z=7 cmz = 7\text{ cm}.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify known triangle components and select the appropriate rule
Two sides and the included angle (SAS) are given: x=3x = 3, y=8y = 8, Z=60\angle Z = 60^\circ, requiring the Cosine Rule.
When given two sides and the included angle (SAS), the Cosine Rule is used to find the third side.
2
Substitute values into the Cosine Rule formula z2=x2+y22xycosZz^2 = x^2 + y^2 - 2xy \cos Z
z2=32+822(3)(8)cos60z^2 = 3^2 + 8^2 - 2(3)(8)\cos 60^\circ
Direct algebraic substitution of side lengths and angle measure into the Cosine Rule.
3
Evaluate the trigonometric term and simplify the arithmetic expression
z2=9+6448(0.5)=7324=49z^2 = 9 + 64 - 48(0.5) = 73 - 24 = 49
The exact value of cos60\cos 60^\circ is 0.50.5.
4
Solve for side length zz by taking the principal square root
z=49=7 cmz = \sqrt{49} = 7\text{ cm}
Side length must be positive.

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap

The correct pairings match: (1) Inverted biomass pyramid in aquatic systems with producer turnover rate and rapid reproduction; (2) Invariably upright energy pyramid with Second Law of Thermodynamics heat loss; (3) Stepwise reduction in available energy with metabolic and waste loss of approximately 90% per level; (4) Biomagnification with non-biodegradable fat-soluble toxins concentrating in smaller higher-level biomasses.
Each ecological concept matches its precise biological mechanism: aquatic biomass inversion is caused by rapid turnover of primary producers; energy pyramids are strictly upright due to metabolic heat loss (Second Law of Thermodynamics); energy reduction across trophic levels stems from respiration and excretion losses (~90%); and biomagnification occurs because persistent toxins accumulate in fat tissue as biomass decreases at higher levels.
