Physics 2001 Waec Past Questions and Answers

Question 46 :

• WAEC 2001

Electrons passing through crystals are diffracted because they

A. Are repelled by the atoms in the crystal
B. Are attracted by the atoms in the crystals
C. Possess wave properties
D. Are particles

Question 47 :

• WAEC 2001

A ball thrown vertically upward reaches a maximum height of 50 m above the level of projection. Calculate the;
(i) time taken to reach the maximum height,
(ii) speed of the throw. [g = 10 ms\(^{-2}\)]

Question 48 :

• WAEC 2001

A lead shot is projected from tha ground level with a velocity u at an angle \(\theta\) to the horizontal. Given the time, t for the lead shot to reach its maximum height as; t = \(\frac{u \sin \theta}{g}\) where "g" is the acceleration of free fall due to gravity, show that the greatest height reached by the body is h\(_{\text{max}} = \frac{u^2 \sin^2 \theta}{2g}\)

Question 49 :

• WAEC 2001

(a) What is electrolysis?
(b) A current of 2A is passed through a copper voltameter for 5 minutes. If the electrochemical equivalent of copper is 3.27 x 10\(^{-7}\) kg. Determine the mass of the corper deposited.

Question 50 :

• WAEC 2001

The value of the e.m.f of a voltaic cell, which has dilute tetraoxosulphate (VI) acid as its electrolyte and copper and zinc as its electrodes becomes less with use. Explain this observation and state how it can be corrected.
