A 20kg mass is to be pulled up a slope inclined at 300 to the horizontal. If efficiency of the plane is 75%. The force required to pull the load up the plane is J [g=10ms${}^{-2}$]

Antwortdetails

The force required to pull a 20kg mass up a slope inclined at 300 can be calculated using the formula: force = mass * gravity * sin(angle) where mass is 20kg, gravity is 10 m/s^2 and angle is 300. The formula for efficiency is: efficiency = output force / input force where output force is the force required to pull the mass up the slope and input force is the force applied to the rope. Since the efficiency of the plane is 75%, the input force is 4 times the output force. So, the output force can be calculated as: output force = input force / 4 input force = mass * gravity * sin(angle) / efficiency input force = 20 * 10 * sin(300) / 0.75 input force = 533.2 N And the output force can be calculated as: output force = input force / 4 output force = 533.2 / 4 output force = 133.3 N So, the force required to pull the load up the plane is 133.3 N.

An object weighs 30N in air and 21N in water. The weight of the object when completely immersed in a liquid of relative density 1.4 is

Antwortdetails

Weight of water displaced = upthrust = 30 - 21 = 9N
Mass of water displaced = $\frac{9}{10}$ = 0.9kg
Volume of object = 9 × 10${}^{-4}$m${}^3$
= (9 × 10${}^{-4}$) (1.4 ×103)

 = 1.26kg = 12N
30 - 12.6 = 17.4N

I think the correct option is C ($\frac{m_2}{m_1}$). The coefficient of friction is a ratio of two forces and hence g will cancel out.

Which of the following is not a product of nuclear fusion?

Antwortdetails

Neutron is not a product of nuclear fusion. Nuclear fusion is the process by which two or more atomic nuclei come together to form a heavier nucleus, releasing a large amount of energy in the process. In most fusion reactions, the resulting products are alpha particles (helium nuclei) and energy in the form of gamma rays. X-rays and gamma rays are both forms of high-energy electromagnetic radiation that can be produced by nuclear reactions, including nuclear fusion. Alpha particles are also a common product of nuclear fusion, especially in the fusion reactions that power the sun. However, neutrons are not typically produced in fusion reactions. In fact, one of the major challenges in developing fusion as a practical energy source is finding ways to produce and control the high-energy neutrons that are generated in the process. Neutrons can be produced in some types of fusion reactions, but they are not a primary product. In summary, neutron is not a product of nuclear fusion, while X-rays, Y-rays (assuming this is a valid form of radiation), and alpha particles are common products of this process.

The diagram shown represents a block-and-tackle pulley system on which an effort of W Newtons supports a load of 120.0N. If the efficiency of the machine is 40, then the value of W is?

Antwortdetails

Let the total number of pulleys used in both the blocks be $n$.
In a block-and-tackle pulley system, the velocity ratio is equal to n.
Efficiency = $\frac{\text{MA}}{\text{VR}}\times 100\%$
$\text{MA}=\frac{\text{L}}{\text{E}},\text{VR}=n$
Efficiency = $\frac{\text{L}}{\text{E}}\times \frac{1}{\text{n}}\times 100\%$
$\text{E}=\frac{\text{L}}{\text{Eff.}\times n}\times 100\%$
$\text{E}=\frac{120\text{N}}{40\%\times 6}\times 100\%$
$\text{E}=50\text{N}$

Which of the following is an essential physical property of the wires uses for making fuses ?

Antwortdetails

The essential physical property of the wire used for making fuses is low melting point. This means that the wire should have a low temperature at which it melts and breaks, interrupting the flow of electrical current. This is important in a fuse because when there is an overload of electrical current, the wire will melt, breaking the circuit and preventing damage to the electrical system. The other options, low density, low electrical resistivity, and hypothermal conductivity, are not as important for a fuse wire. Low density is the property of a material to be light, and it doesn't necessarily affect the performance of a fuse wire. Low electrical resistivity is the property of a material to have low resistance to the flow of electrical current, and it doesn't necessarily affect the performance of a fuse wire either. Hypothermal conductivity is the property of a material to conduct heat poorly, and it also doesn't necessarily affect the performance of a fuse wire.

A narrow beam of white light can be split up into different colours by a glass prism. The correct explanation is that

Antwortdetails

The correct explanation for why a narrow beam of white light can be split up into different colors by a glass prism is that different colors of white light travel with different speeds in glass. White light is made up of different colors with different wavelengths, ranging from violet to red. When a narrow beam of white light passes through a glass prism, the different colors refract at slightly different angles due to the fact that their wavelengths are different. This causes the different colors to spread out and form a spectrum. The amount of refraction that occurs depends on the speed of light in the medium. Different colors of light have different speeds in glass due to the fact that their wavelengths are different. This means that they will refract at different angles as they pass through the glass prism, causing them to spread out. So, the correct explanation for why a narrow beam of white light can be split up into different colors by a glass prism is that different colors of white light travel with different speeds in glass. Therefore, is the correct explanation. is incorrect because it describes what white light is made up of, but does not explain how it is split up into colors by a prism. is incorrect because a prism does not have all the colors of white light, but rather it separates the colors that are already present in white light. is incorrect because total internal reflection occurs when light is completely reflected back into the same medium, which is not what happens when white light is split up by a prism.

Water of mass 150g at 60${}^o$c is added to 300g of water at 20${}^o$c and the mixture is well stirred. Calculate the temperature of the mixture.(neglect heat losses to the surroundings)

Antwortdetails

To solve this problem, we can use the principle of conservation of energy, which states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transferred or converted from one form to another. In this case, the energy transferred is in the form of heat. We can use the formula: Q = m*c*(ΔT) where Q is the heat transferred, m is the mass of the water, c is the specific heat capacity of water, and ΔT is the change in temperature. First, we can calculate the heat transferred from the hot water to the cold water: Q1 = 150g * 4.18 J/(g°C) * (60°C - T) Q1 = 627 * (60 - T) where T is the temperature of the mixture. Next, we can calculate the heat transferred from the cold water to reach the final temperature of the mixture: Q2 = 300g * 4.18 J/(g°C) * (T - 20°C) Q2 = 1254 * (T - 20) Since the heat transferred between the two water samples must be equal, we can set Q1 equal to Q2 and solve for T: 627 * (60 - T) = 1254 * (T - 20) 37620 - 627T = 1254T - 25080 1881T = 62760 T = 33.4°C Therefore, the temperature of the mixture is approximately 33°C. Answer: 33°C

One of the features of the fission process is that

Antwortdetails

The fission process refers to the splitting of an atomic nucleus into two or more smaller nuclei. One of the key features of the fission process is that it can lead to a chain reaction, where the neutrons released during fission can go on to trigger additional fission reactions. This chain reaction can produce a large amount of energy, as is the case in nuclear power plants and nuclear weapons. Another feature of the fission process is that it typically produces radioactive products. These products can remain radioactive for a long time, which is why there are concerns about the safe disposal of nuclear waste. Additionally, the fission process typically releases neutrons, which can go on to cause further fission reactions. This neutron release is an important aspect of the chain reaction mentioned earlier. Finally, the fission process is accompanied by a small loss of mass, which is converted into energy according to Einstein's famous equation E=mc². This loss of mass is what allows the large amount of energy to be released during a fission reaction.

Which of the following may be used to explain a mirage?

I. Layers of air near the road surface have varying refractive indices in hot weather

II. Road surfaces sometimes become good reflectors in hot weather

III. Light from the sky can be reflected upwards after coming close to the road surface.

Antwortdetails

The phenomenon of a mirage can be explained by options I and III. A mirage is an optical illusion that occurs when light rays passing through a medium with varying refractive indices create a false image of distant objects or even the sky. In hot weather, the air near the road surface becomes hotter and less dense than the air above, causing the light passing through it to bend and create a reflection of the sky or objects in the distance. This effect is known as a temperature inversion. Additionally, light from the sky can be reflected upwards after coming close to the road surface, adding to the illusion of a reflected object or the sky. Option II, which suggests that road surfaces become good reflectors in hot weather, is not a valid explanation for a mirage. Therefore, the correct answer is: I and III only.

The critical angle for light travelling from a transparent medium to air s measured as 340. The refractive index of the medium is

Antwortdetails

The critical angle is the angle of incidence at which light is just able to pass through the interface between two media and not reflect back. When light travels from a medium with a higher refractive index to a medium with a lower refractive index, it slows down and bends towards the normal. If the angle of incidence is increased, the light will eventually reach a point where it will not be able to escape the higher index medium and will be totally reflected back. This is the critical angle. The formula for the critical angle can be expressed as follows: sin(θc) = n2/n1 Where θc is the critical angle, n1 is the refractive index of the first medium, and n2 is the refractive index of the second medium. In this case, the first medium is the transparent medium and the second medium is air, which has a refractive index of approximately 1. By substituting the value of sin(θc) with the value of 340, and n2 with 1, we can solve for n1. sin(340) = n1/1 n1 = 1/sin(340) The value of n1 calculated using this formula is approximately 1.79, which means that the refractive index of the transparent medium is 1.79.

The pitch of an acoustic device can be increased by

Antwortdetails

The pitch of an acoustic device refers to the perceived highness or lowness of a sound, and is determined by the frequency of the sound wave. To increase the pitch of an acoustic device, you need to increase the frequency of the sound wave. This can be done by increasing the number of vibrations per second that the device produces. So, the correct answer is to "increase the frequency".

Mercury which is spilled onto a glass surface forms ball-like shapes because____.

Antwortdetails

In case of small drops of mercury, the gravitational potential energy is negligible in comparison to the potential energy due to surface tension.Consequently, to keep the drop in equilibrium, the mercury drop’s surface tends to contract so that its surface area will be the least for a sphere and the drops will be spherical.
But in the case of bigger drops of mercury, the potential energy due to gravity is predominant over the potential energy due to surface tension.Consequently, to keep equilibrium , the mercury drop tends to assume minimum potential energy as possible, the drop becomes oval in shape and lower center of gravity.

If the fraction of the atoms of a radioactive material left after 120years is $\frac{1}{64}$, what is the half-life of the material?  $\frac{1}{64}$

Antwortdetails

The half-life of a radioactive material is the time it takes for half of the atoms in a sample to decay. The fraction of atoms left after a certain number of half-lives can be calculated using the formula: fraction left = (1/2)^(number of half-lives) Let's use this formula to solve the problem. We know that the fraction of atoms left after 120 years is 1/64, which means that: (1/2)^(number of half-lives) = 1/64 To solve for the number of half-lives, we can take the logarithm of both sides: log[(1/2)^(number of half-lives)] = log(1/64) Using the rule that log(a^b) = b*log(a), we can simplify the left side of the equation: number of half-lives * log(1/2) = log(1/64) Dividing both sides by log(1/2), we get: number of half-lives = log(1/64) / log(1/2) Using a calculator or the change of base formula, we can evaluate this expression: number of half-lives = 6 Therefore, the half-life of the material is 120/6 = 20 years.

Which of the following does NOT describe the Image formed by a plane minor?

Antwortdetails

The option that does NOT describe the image formed by a plane mirror is "Magnified". When an object is placed in front of a plane mirror, the image formed is: 1. Erect: The orientation of the object in the mirror is the same as the orientation of the object in real life. For example, if you raise your right hand in front of a plane mirror, the image in the mirror will also show your right hand raised. 2. Laterally inverted: The image formed in the mirror is flipped horizontally, which means that the left side of the object appears on the right side of the image and vice versa. For example, if you wear a shirt with the letter "H" on it and look at it in a plane mirror, the image will show the letter "H" flipped horizontally. 3. Same distance from the mirror as object: The image formed in the mirror is located behind the mirror at the same distance as the object is located in front of the mirror. For example, if you stand 1 meter away from a plane mirror, the image of yourself will also be located 1 meter away from the mirror, behind the mirror. 4. NOT magnified: The image formed in the plane mirror is of the same size as the object, which means that there is no magnification or reduction in the size of the image. For example, if you stand in front of a plane mirror with a height of 1 meter, the image of yourself in the mirror will also have a height of 1 meter. Therefore, the correct answer is "Magnified", as the image formed by a plane mirror is not magnified.

In the diagram given if the atmospheric pressure is 760mm, the pressure in the chamber G Is

Antwortdetails

Cathode rays are

Antwortdetails

Cathode rays are streams of electrons. They were first discovered by scientists experimenting with vacuum tubes, and they observed that a glowing beam of particles traveled from the negatively charged electrode (the cathode) to the positively charged electrode (the anode). These particles were found to have a negative charge, which was later identified as electrons. Cathode rays played an important role in the development of electronics and the understanding of atomic structure.

A room is heated by means of a charcoal fire, an occupants of the room standing away from the fire is warmed mainly by

Antwortdetails

The main way that the occupants of a room standing away from a charcoal fire are warmed is by radiation. Radiation is the transfer of heat energy through electromagnetic waves, and it can travel through empty space. In this scenario, the charcoal fire emits radiation in the form of infrared waves, which travel through the air and warm up the objects (including the occupants) in the room. Convection, on the other hand, is the transfer of heat through the movement of fluids (such as air), but in this case, the air in the room is not being actively circulated by a fan or other mechanism. Conduction involves the transfer of heat through direct contact between two objects, but the occupants are not in direct contact with the fire. Reflection refers to the bouncing of radiation off a surface, but it is not a significant factor in this scenario as most of the radiation is absorbed by the objects in the room.

To keep a vehicle moving at a constant speed V requires power P from the engine. The force provided by the engine is

Antwortdetails

The force provided by the engine to keep a vehicle moving at a constant speed is proportional to the power (P) required from the engine. This power is proportional to the product of the speed (V) and force (P), so the relationship can be expressed as P = kV, where k is a proportionality constant.

A lead bullet of mass 0.05 kg is fired with a velocity of 200 ms into a lead block of mass 0.95 kg. Given that the lead block can move freely. the final kinetic energy after impact is

Antwortdetails

The energy needed to move a unit positive charge around a complete electric circuit is called the

Antwortdetails

The energy needed to move a unit positive charge around a complete electric circuit is called the "electromotive force", also known as "emf". This is because the emf is what drives the flow of electric charge, or current, around the circuit. Think of it like a battery in a flashlight. The battery provides the emf that drives the flow of electric current through the wires and the light bulb. Without the emf from the battery, the electric charges wouldn't be able to flow and the light wouldn't turn on. The other answer options, such as electric potential difference and electric energy, are related to the emf but don't specifically refer to the energy needed to move a unit positive charge around a circuit. Kinetic energy, on the other hand, is not related to the movement of electric charges around a circuit at all.

The differences observed in solids, liquids and gases may be accounted for by

Antwortdetails

The differences observed in solids, liquids, and gases can be accounted for by the spacing and forces acting between the molecules. In a solid, the molecules are packed closely together, so they have a fixed shape and volume. The intermolecular forces are strong enough to keep the molecules in a fixed position relative to one another. In a liquid, the molecules are still close together, but they are free to move around each other. The intermolecular forces are weaker than in a solid, so the molecules can slide past one another, giving the liquid its ability to flow and take the shape of its container. In a gas, the molecules are widely spaced and are in constant motion. The intermolecular forces are very weak, so the molecules are free to move around and fill any available space. Gases have no fixed shape or volume. So, the differences observed in solids, liquids, and gases can be explained by the spacing and forces acting between the molecules. It's not about their relative masses, melting points, or the different molecules in each of them.

A particle of mass M initially at rest splits into two. If one of the particles of mass M1 moves with velocity V1 , the second particle moves with velocity

Antwortdetails

When a particle of mass M splits into two, the total mass is conserved, and so the sum of the masses of the two resulting particles must be equal to M. If one of the particles of mass M1 moves with velocity V1, we can use the law of conservation of momentum to determine the velocity of the second particle. The law of conservation of momentum states that the total momentum of a system of particles remains constant if no external forces act on the system. In this case, the initial momentum of the system is zero, since the particle was initially at rest. After the particle splits, the momentum of the system is the sum of the momenta of the two resulting particles. Let's use the subscript 1 to represent the first particle of mass M1 and the subscript 2 to represent the second particle of mass M-M1. By conservation of momentum, we have: 0 = M1*V1 + (M - M1)*V2 Solving for V2, we get: V2 = -M1/M*(V1) Therefore, the second particle moves in the opposite direction with velocity -M1/M*(V1). This means that the two particles move in opposite directions, with the ratio of their velocities determined by the ratio of their masses. Option (D) in the table shows the correct answer, which is -M1/M*(V1).

Electrical power is transmitted at a high voltage rather than a low voltage because the amount of energy loss is due to

Antwortdetails

The primary reason that power is transmitted at high voltages is to increase efficiency. As electricity is transmitted over long distances, there are inherent energy losses along the way. High voltage transmission minimizes the amount of power lost as electricity flows from one location to the next. How? The higher the voltage, the lower the current. The lower the current, the lower the resistance losses in the conductors. And when resistance losses are low, energy losses are low also. Electrical engineers consider factors such as the power being transmitted and the distance required for transmission when determining the optimal transmission voltage

Electrical appliances in homes are normally earthed so that

Antwortdetails

Electrical appliances in homes are normally earthed so that a person touching the appliances is safe from electric shock. Earthing provides a safety mechanism by connecting the metal case of an electrical appliance to the earth through a conductor. In the event of a fault in the appliance, such as a short circuit, the current will flow through the earth wire instead of the person's body, preventing electric shock. By connecting the metal case of an appliance to the earth, the potential difference (PD) between the appliance and the earth is reduced to zero, ensuring that the appliance is maintained at a lower PD than the earth. Therefore, "the appliances are maintained at a lower pd than the earth" is the correct answer.

The linear expansivity of brass is 2 x 10${}^{?5}$ C${}^{?1}$. If the volume of a piece of brass is 15.00cm at 0°C, what is the volume at 100°C

Antwortdetails

The linear expansivity of brass is given as 2 x 10^-5 /°C. This means that for every 1°C increase in temperature, the brass expands by 2 x 10^-5 of its original size. To find the new volume of the brass at 100°C, we need to take into account the expansion in all three dimensions (length, width, and height). Since the expansivity given is for length only, we need to find the expansivity in all three dimensions by multiplying it by 3. The expansivity in all three dimensions is: 3 x (2 x 10^-5 /°C) = 6 x 10^-5 /°C To find the new volume, we can use the formula: Vf = Vi (1 + αΔT) where Vf is the final volume, Vi is the initial volume, α is the expansivity in all three dimensions, and ΔT is the change in temperature. Plugging in the values, we get: Vf = 15.00 cm3 (1 + (6 x 10^-5 /°C) x (100°C - 0°C)) Vf = 15.09 cm3 Therefore, the volume of the brass at 100°C is 15.09 cm3.

Which of the following concepts is not an evidence of the particles nature of matter?

Antwortdetails

The particle nature of matter refers to the idea that matter is made up of tiny particles that are constantly moving. Diffusion, Brownian motion, and crystallization are all examples of phenomena that can be explained by the particle nature of matter. However, diffraction is not an evidence of the particle nature of matter. Diffraction is a phenomenon that occurs when waves encounter an obstacle or a slit, causing them to spread out and interfere with each other. While particles can also exhibit diffraction, this is a property of waves and is not specific to particles. In summary, diffusion, Brownian motion, and crystallization are all evidences of the particle nature of matter, but diffraction is not.

A ball of mass 5.0kg hits a smooth vertical wall normally with a speed of 2ms${}^{?1}$. Determine the magnitude of the resulting impulse

Antwortdetails

The magnitude of the resulting impulse can be calculated using the formula impulse = change in momentum. In this scenario, the ball experiences a change in velocity (speed) as it hits the wall. The ball's initial momentum is equal to its mass times its velocity, and its final momentum is zero since it comes to a stop after hitting the wall. The change in momentum is equal to the final momentum minus the initial momentum, which is equal to the negative of the initial momentum. Since the ball has a mass of 5.0 kg and a velocity of 2 m/s, its initial momentum is 5.0 kg * 2 m/s = 10.0 kg m/s. Therefore, the change in momentum is -10.0 kg m/s and the magnitude of the resulting impulse is 10.0 kg m/s, which is equal to 10.0 Ns. So, the correct answer is 10.0kgms−1.

Which of the following obeys Ohm's law?

Antwortdetails

Ohm's law states that the current passing through a conductor is directly proportional to the voltage applied across it, given the temperature and other physical conditions remain constant. Among the given options, only "all metals" obey Ohm's law. This is because metals have a linear relationship between their resistance and the applied voltage, meaning that the resistance of a metal remains constant regardless of the voltage applied. As a result, the current passing through a metal is directly proportional to the voltage applied, following Ohm's law. On the other hand, a diode, all electrolytes, and glass do not obey Ohm's law. A diode is a semiconductor that has a non-linear current-voltage relationship, and its resistance is not constant. Similarly, electrolytes and glass are non-metallic substances that do not have a linear relationship between their resistance and the applied voltage. Their resistance can change significantly with the voltage applied, and hence they do not follow Ohm's law.

In the diagram shown, which of the simple pendulum will resonate with P when set into oscillation?

Antwortdetails

A positively charged rod X is brought near an uncharged metal sphere Y and is then touched by a finger with X still in place. When the finger is removed, the result is that Y has

Antwortdetails

The time rate of loss of heat by a body is proportional to the

Antwortdetails

The correct answer is "difference in temperature between the body and its surroundings." When a body is at a higher temperature than its surroundings, it will lose heat to the surroundings until it reaches thermal equilibrium, i.e., until the temperatures of the body and its surroundings are equal. The rate at which the body loses heat is proportional to the temperature difference between the body and its surroundings. This is known as Newton's law of cooling. The law of cooling applies to a wide range of situations, from the cooling of hot beverages to the cooling of electronic devices. It is important to understand this law because it allows us to predict how long it will take for a body to cool down to a certain temperature, and to design systems that can regulate the temperature of a body, such as heaters or refrigerators.

Which of the following phenomena cannot be explained by the molecular theory of matter?

The friction which exist between two layers of liquid in relative motion is called

Antwortdetails

The correct answer is "Viscosity". Viscosity is the property of a fluid that describes its resistance to flow. When two layers of liquid are in relative motion, the viscosity of the liquid causes friction between the layers. This friction creates a resistance to the movement of one layer past the other. The greater the viscosity of the liquid, the greater the friction and the more difficult it is for the layers to move past each other. This property is important in many industrial and natural processes, such as the flow of oil in pipelines or the movement of blood through the human body.

In homes, electrical appliances and lamps are connected in parallel because

Antwortdetails

A car traveled at a uniform speed of 100km/h, spends 15m moving from point A to point B along its route. The distance between A and B is

Antwortdetails

To calculate the distance between point A and point B, we can use the formula: Distance = Speed x Time where the speed is given as 100 km/h and the time is given as 15 minutes, which we need to convert to hours. 1 hour = 60 minutes, so 15 minutes = 15/60 hours = 0.25 hours. Now, we can substitute these values into the formula: Distance = 100 km/h x 0.25 h = 25 km Therefore, the distance between point A and point B is 25 km. is the correct answer.

The product of force and time is?

Antwortdetails

The product of force and time is known as impulse. Impulse can be defined as the change in momentum that an object experiences as a result of a force being applied to it over a period of time. In simpler terms, impulse is the "push" that an object receives from a force acting on it for a certain amount of time. The more force applied, or the longer the time the force is applied, the greater the impulse and the greater the change in momentum of the object. It's important to note that impulse is a vector quantity, meaning it has both magnitude and direction. Impulse is a measure of the ability of a force to cause an object to change its velocity, and can be used to explain many phenomena in physics, such as why a heavy object is harder to stop than a lighter one, or why a soccer ball changes direction when it is kicked.

A 40W instrument has a resistance 90 Ohms. On what voltage should it be operated normally

Antwortdetails

To calculate the voltage needed for a 40W instrument with a resistance of 90 Ohms, we can use the formula: Voltage = √(Power x Resistance) Plugging in the given values, we get: Voltage = √(40W x 90Ω) Voltage = √(3600) Voltage = 60V Therefore, the instrument should be operated at 60V to generate 40W of power with a resistance of 90 Ohms. The correct answer is, 60V.

The density of 400cm3 of palm oil was 0.9gcm-3 before frying. If the density of the oil was 0.6gcm-3 after frying, assuming no loss of oil due to spilling, its new volume was?

Antwortdetails

The density of a substance is defined as its mass per unit volume. Therefore, the mass of the palm oil before frying was: Mass = Density x Volume = 0.9 g/cm³ x 400 cm³ = 360 g After frying, the mass of the palm oil remains the same, but its density changes to 0.6 g/cm³. Therefore, the new volume of the palm oil can be calculated by rearranging the density formula: Volume = Mass / Density = 360 g / 0.6 g/cm³ = 600 cm³ So the new volume of the palm oil after frying is 600 cm³. is the correct answer.
