The acceleration is 9 km/h·s. Strictly speaking, this would be its average acceleration
because there may have been some variation in its rate of picking up speed.

Question No. 04 (02)

Show how an object is said to be in a free fall.
When a falling object is free of all restraints no friction, with the air or otherwise and
falls under the influence of gravity alone, the object is in a state of free fall.

Question # 02– Part B
Generalize different stages used in a basic DC power supply by drawing a block diagram
of each stage. Also draw the waveform that is generated by each stage of the supply.
(CLO1, C2, PLO1)
Question# 03 – Part A (06 + 04 = 10 marks)
Compute the force exerted on a bomb that is dropped from a stealth bomber if its mass is
50 kg and its instantaneous acceleration is .(CLO2, C3, PLO2)
Question # 03– Part B
Solve for finding the time a battery will completely drain, if you forget to turn the
headlights off in your parked automobile and each of two headlights draws 3 A. The total
charge that an automobile battery can supply without being recharged is given in terms of
ampere hours. A typical 12-V battery has a rating of 60 ampere hours (60 A for 1 h, 30 A
for 2 h, and so on). (CLO2, C3, PLO2)
Question # 04 – Part A (06 + 04 = 10 marks)
Compute the following of a full-wave rectifier across aload resistance which has a peak
output voltage of 20 V and output frequency of 120 Hz. Capacitor-input filter is
connected to the rectifier. (CLO2, C3, PLO2)
6. Peak-to-peak ripple voltage.
7. DC output voltage.
8. Percentage of ripples for the filter used.
Question # 04 – Part B
Compute the time a basket ball player remains in the air when he jumps vertically up at a
height of 1.25 meters to throw the ball inside the basket and then returns to the ground.
(CLO2, C3, PLO2)
 Solution
Question # 01 – Part A (06 + 04 = 10 marks)
In the first case, the balls do not gain much speed in their short fall. The air drag they
encounter is small compared with the force of gravity on them, even for the regular ball.
The tiny difference in their arrival times is not noticed. But, when they are dropped from
a greater height, the greater speeds of fall are met with greater air resistance. At any given
speed, each ball encounters the same air resistance because each has the same size. This
same air resistance may be a lot compared with the smaller force of gravity on the lighter
ball, but only a little compared with the gravitational force of the heavier ball.
Question # 01– Part B
Acceleration decreases because the net force on Nellie decreases. Net force is equal to the
force of gravity minus the air resistance on her, and since air resistance increases with
increasing speed, net force and, hence, acceleration decrease. By Newton’s second law
F net mg − R
a= =
m m

where mg is the force of gravity and R is the air resistance she encounters. As R
increases, a decreases. Note that if Nellie falls fast enough so that R = mg, a = 0, then
with no acceleration she falls at constant speed.
Question # 02 – Part A (06 + 04 = 10
marks)
When you try to use more electricity than your circuit is made for, you get a circuit
overload. It occurs when too many electrical equipment is attached and turned on within
a circuit. Circuit overloading can be prevented by using fuses which may be connected in
series along the supply line.
