Calculate the mass of air flowing per second. [2]
b) The heater is used to evaporate 60 g of water at 35°C. If the latent heat of vaporization is 2300 J/g and
efficiency is 85%, estimate the time required. [3]

2. Gravitation
a) Derive the expression for the escape velocity of an object from a planet of mass M and radius R. [3]
b) The gravitational field strength on Mars is 3.7 N/kg. If its radius is 3.4×106 m, calculate its mass. [2]

3. Electric Fields
Four charges (+2Q,−Q,+Q,−2Q) are placed at the corners of a square of side 2a.
a) Calculate the electric field magnitude at the center due to the +2Q charge. [3]
b) Sketch the direction of the resultant electric field at the center. [1]

4. Kinetic Theory
