Detalles de la respuesta

The blade of a hoe feels colder to touch in the morning than the wooden handle because the blade is a better conductor of heat than the handle. In the morning, the temperature of the environment is usually lower than the temperature of the objects in it. The blade being a better conductor of heat than the handle conducts the heat from our hand more efficiently, making it feel colder. The handle, on the other hand, being a poor conductor of heat, does not conduct the heat from our hand very well, so it feels warmer.

A glass plate 0.9cm thick has a reflective index of 1.50. how long does it take for a pulse of light to pass through the plate?
[c = 3.0 x 8 ms-1]

Detalles de la respuesta

N = 1.5 = (speed of light in glass)/speed of light in air
(1.5)/1 = (3.0 x 108)/V
V = (3.0 x 108)/1.5
V = 2.0 x 108 ms-1
But x = Vt
t = (x)/Vt
t = (x)/v = (9 x 10)4/2.0x 108 = 4.5 x 10-2S
∴ Time = 4.5 x 10-12S

A radioactive substance has a half-life of 20 days what fraction the original radiation nuclei will remain after 80 days?

Detalles de la respuesta

The half-life of a radioactive substance is the time it takes for half of the original radioactive nuclei to decay. If the half-life of a substance is 20 days, this means that after 20 days, half of the original nuclei would have decayed, and half would remain. After another 20 days (a total of 40 days), half of the remaining nuclei would have decayed, leaving a quarter of the original nuclei. Similarly, after 60 days, half of the remaining quarter of nuclei would have decayed, leaving one-eighth of the original nuclei. Finally, after 80 days, half of the remaining one-eighth of nuclei would have decayed, leaving one-sixteenth of the original nuclei. Therefore, the fraction of the original radiation nuclei that will remain after 80 days is 1/16. So, the correct option is: (1)/16.

The ratio of the coefficient of linear expansion of two metals ∝1/∝2 is 3:4. If, when heated through the same temperature change, the ratio of the increase in length of the two metals, e1/e2 is 1:2, the ratio of the original lengths l1/l2 is

A charge 50 µc has electric field strength of 360 NC-1 at a certain point. The electric field strength due to another charge 120 µc kept at the same distance apart and in the same medium is?

Detalles de la respuesta

E = $\frac{\text{F}}{\text{q}}$ and Q1 = 50μF, E1 = 360μF, E2 = ?, Q2 = 120μF
Using E = $\frac{\text{F}}{\text{q}}$.
So we have F = Q $\times$ E
F = 50 $\times$ 10${}^{-6}$ $\times$ 360 = 0.018N
When E2 = F/q
$\frac{0.018}{120\times {10}^{-6}}$ = 150NC${}^{-1}$

The energy E of a photon and it's wavelength are related by Eλ = X. the numerical value of X is?
[h = 6.63 x 10-34js, c = 3 x 108 ms-1]

Detalles de la respuesta

The equation Eλ = X relates the energy E of a photon to its wavelength λ. The value of X can be found by substituting the given values for Planck's constant (h) and the speed of light (c) in the equation. Using the given values, X = hc = (6.63 x 10^-34 J s) x (3 x 10^8 m/s) = 1.99 x 10^-25 J m. Therefore, the correct option is 1.99 x 10-25.

Lenz's law is a law of conservation of

Detalles de la respuesta

Lenz's law is a fundamental law in physics that states that the direction of an induced current in a conductor will be such that it opposes the change that produced it. In simpler terms, Lenz's law is a law of conservation of energy that describes the direction of induced current in relation to a changing magnetic field. When a magnetic field changes, an electric current is induced in a conductor, and the direction of the induced current is such that it opposes the change in the magnetic field. Therefore, the correct answer is Energy.

The bond that forms a semiconductor is?

Detalles de la respuesta

The bond that forms a semiconductor is a covalent bond. In a covalent bond, two or more atoms share electrons in order to achieve a stable configuration. In semiconductors, such as silicon and germanium, each atom has four valence electrons which form covalent bonds with neighboring atoms, resulting in a crystal lattice structure. This lattice structure creates a small energy gap between the valence and conduction bands, which allows some electrons to move from the valence band to the conduction band when energy is added to the system, resulting in electrical conductivity.

Three cells each of e.m.f 1.5 V and internal resistance 2.5Ω are connected as shown in the diagram above. Find the net e.m.f and the internal resistance

Detalles de la respuesta

Since the cells are connected in parallel the net e.m.f is that of one cell, E.
However the effective internal resistance should be added as parallel resistance.
=>1/v + 1/25 + 1/25 + 1/25 = 1.2
∴ v = 0.83Ω
∴ Effective e.m.f and internal resistance are respectively = 1.5V and 0.83Ω

If two charged plates are maintained at a potential difference of 3 kv, the work done in taking a charge of 600 µC across the field is?

Detalles de la respuesta

The work done in taking a charge across a potential difference is given by the formula: work = charge x potential difference In this case, the charge taken is 600 µC (which is 600 x 10^-6 C) and the potential difference between the plates is 3 kV (which is 3 x 10^3 V). Therefore, substituting these values into the above formula, we get: work = 600 x 10^-6 C x 3 x 10^3 V = 1.8 J Hence, the work done in taking a charge of 600 µC across the field is 1.8 J. Therefore, the answer is 1.8 J.

I. They should be identical

II. They should originate from the same source.

III. They should be coherent.

IV. They should be monochromatic.

From the statements above, the conditions for two waves to interfere are?

Detalles de la respuesta

The statements above describe the conditions for two waves to interfere. Interference occurs when two waves meet and overlap. For interference to occur, the waves should be identical (statement I), which means they have the same amplitude, frequency, and wavelength. The waves should also originate from the same source (statement II), which means they should have the same phase. In addition, the waves should be coherent (statement III), which means they have a constant phase difference. Finally, the waves should be monochromatic (statement IV), which means they have a single frequency. Therefore, the correct answer is option II, which includes statements I, III, and IV.

The difference observed in solids, liquids and gases can be accounted for by

Detalles de la respuesta

The question is asking what accounts for the observed differences in solids, liquids, and gases. The options provide four possible answers to choose from. The correct answer is: "The spaces and forces acting between the molecules." Solids, liquids, and gases have different physical properties because of the way their molecules are arranged and how they interact with each other. The molecules in solids are tightly packed together and vibrate in place, while the molecules in liquids and gases have more space between them and can move around more freely. The spaces and forces between molecules determine how they behave under different conditions, such as temperature and pressure. This is why solids, liquids, and gases have different melting points and boiling points, and why they can have different densities and viscosities.

A clinical thermometer is different from other mercury in glass thermometers owing to

Detalles de la respuesta

A clinical thermometer is different from other mercury in glass thermometers because of the constriction on its stem. The constriction prevents the mercury from falling back when the thermometer is removed from the patient's body. This allows the temperature reading to remain constant until it is reset. The other options are not correct because the grade of mercury used in a thermometer is usually the same, the length of the stem can vary depending on the thermometer's purpose, and the wide range of temperatures is not necessarily unique to clinical thermometers.

2 kg of water is heated with a heating coil which draws 3.5 A from a 200 V mains for 2 minutes. what is the increase in temperature of the water?
[specific heat capacity of water = 4200 jkg -1k-1]

Detalles de la respuesta

The increase in temperature of the water can be calculated using the formula: Q = mcΔT Where Q is the heat energy transferred to the water, m is the mass of the water, c is the specific heat capacity of water, and ΔT is the change in temperature. First, let's calculate the heat energy transferred to the water: Power = VI = 200V × 3.5A = 700W Energy = Power × time = 700W × 2 minutes = 84000J Now, let's calculate the mass of the water: 1 kg of water has a volume of 1 liter, and the density of water is 1000 kg/m³. Therefore, 2 kg of water has a volume of 2 liters or 0.002 m³. Next, we can use the formula to calculate the change in temperature: ΔT = Q / (mc) ΔT = 84000J / (2kg × 4200J/kg.K) ΔT = 10°C Therefore, the increase in temperature of the water is 10°C. Option (d) is the correct answer.

The fundamental frequency of a plucked wire under a tension of 400N is 250Hz. When the frequency is changed to 500 Hz at constant length, the tension is

Detalles de la respuesta

The tension in a wire affects its fundamental frequency. As tension increases, so does the frequency. The relationship between tension and frequency is given by the following formula: f = (1/2L)√(T/μ) where f is the frequency, L is the length of the wire, T is the tension, and μ is the linear mass density of the wire. We are given that the wire has a tension of 400N and a frequency of 250Hz. If we keep the length of the wire constant and increase the frequency to 500Hz, we can use the formula to find the new tension: f = (1/2L)√(T/μ) Rearranging the formula, we get: T = (4L^2μ)(f^2) Since we are keeping the length of the wire constant, we can simplify the formula to: T ∝ f^2 This means that the tension is proportional to the square of the frequency. If we increase the frequency by a factor of 2 (from 250Hz to 500Hz), the tension will increase by a factor of 2^2 = 4. Therefore, the new tension is: T = 4(400N) = 1600N So the answer is 1600N.

A gramophone record takes 5s to reach its constant angular velocity of 4$\pi$ rads-1 from rest. Find its constant angular acceleration.

Detalles de la respuesta

The gramophone record has an initial angular velocity of 0 and reaches a final angular velocity of 4π π  rads-1 in 5 seconds. The constant angular acceleration can be found using the following formula: angular acceleration = (final angular velocity - initial angular velocity) / time Substituting the given values, we get: angular acceleration = (4π π  rads-1 - 0) / 5s = 4π π  rads-1 / 5s = 0.8π π  rads-2 Therefore, the constant angular acceleration is 0.8π π  rads-2.

A machine has a velocity ratio of 4. if it requires 800 N to overcome a load of 1600 N,what is the efficiency of the machine?

Detalles de la respuesta

The efficiency of a machine is the ratio of output work to input work. In this case, the load is 1600 N and it requires 800 N to overcome it. So, the input work is 800 N × distance moved by effort. The output work is 1600 N × distance moved by load. Velocity ratio is the ratio of the distance moved by effort to the distance moved by load. Velocity Ratio = distance moved by effort / distance moved by load Velocity Ratio = 4 distance moved by effort = 4 × distance moved by load Input work = force × distance moved by effort Input work = 800 N × 4 × distance moved by load Output work = force × distance moved by load Output work = 1600 N × distance moved by load Efficiency = Output work / Input work Efficiency = (1600 N × distance moved by load) / (800 N × 4 × distance moved by load) Efficiency = 0.5 = 50% Therefore, the efficiency of the machine is 50%. Option (B) is the correct answer.

A string of length 4m is extended by 0.02m when a load of 0.4kg is suspended at its end. What will be the length of the string when the applied force is 15N?

Detalles de la respuesta

The problem involves finding the final length of a string when a certain force is applied to it, given its initial length and how much it extends under a certain load. To solve the problem, we can use Hooke's law, which states that the extension of an elastic object is directly proportional to the applied force, provided the elastic limit is not exceeded. In this case, we know that the string of length 4m extends by 0.02m when a load of 0.4kg is suspended at its end. This means that the spring constant k is: k = F/x = (0.4 kg * 9.81 m/s^2)/0.02 m = 196.2 N/m where F is the force, x is the extension, and 9.81 m/s^2 is the acceleration due to gravity. To find the length of the string when a force of 15N is applied, we can use Hooke's law again: F = kΔL where ΔL is the change in length of the string. Rearranging the equation to solve for ΔL, we get: ΔL = F/k = 15 N/196.2 N/m = 0.0764 m Therefore, the final length of the string is: L = 4m + ΔL = 4m + 0.0764m = 4.0764m So the answer is 4.08m.

In the diagram above, a rod 50 cm long of uniform cross-section is suspended horizontally on a fulcrum, F, by the action of two forces. What is the weight of the rod?

Detalles de la respuesta

The weight of the rod can be determined by balancing the moments on either side of the fulcrum, F. The moment of a force is its magnitude multiplied by the perpendicular distance from the fulcrum to the line of action of the force. Let the weight of the rod be W, and the distance from the left end of the rod to the fulcrum be x. Then, the distance from the right end of the rod to the fulcrum is (50 - x). Since the rod is in equilibrium, the total clockwise moment about F must be equal to the total anticlockwise moment. The weight W acts downwards at the centre of gravity of the rod, which is at its midpoint, so its moment about F is W(50/2 - x) = 25W - Wx. The force acting to the left at the left end of the rod is 40N, and its moment about F is 40x. The force acting to the right at the right end of the rod is unknown, and its moment about F is P(50 - x), where P is the magnitude of the force. Setting the clockwise moment equal to the anticlockwise moment gives: 25W - Wx = 40x + P(50 - x) Simplifying, we get: 25W = 41x + 50P We need to find W, so we need to find P. We can use the fact that the rod is in equilibrium to say that the total upward force must be equal to the total downward force. Upward force = weight of rod + 40N Downward force = P Therefore: W + 40 = P Substituting this into the previous equation, we get: 25W = 41x + 50(W + 40) Simplifying, we get: 25W = 41x + 50W + 2000 Solving for W, we get: W = 80N Therefore, the weight of the rod is 80N.

I. Use a liquid with a high melting point.

II. use a liquid of high volume expansivity.

III. use a capillary tube of large diameter.

Which of the above best describes how the sensitivity of a liquid-in-glass thermometer can be enhanced?

Detalles de la respuesta

The question is asking how the sensitivity of a liquid-in-glass thermometer can be enhanced. The three options provided are: (I) use a liquid with a high melting point, (II) use a liquid of high volume expansivity, and (III) use a capillary tube of large diameter. Option I alone cannot enhance the sensitivity of the thermometer. The melting point of a liquid only affects the upper range of temperatures that the thermometer can measure, but it has no effect on the sensitivity or the precision of the measurements. Therefore, option I is not the correct answer. Option II can enhance the sensitivity of the thermometer. The volume expansivity of a liquid refers to how much the volume of the liquid changes with temperature. A liquid with high volume expansivity will change its volume more for a given change in temperature, resulting in a larger change in the length of the column in the thermometer. This means that the thermometer will be more sensitive to temperature changes. Therefore, option II is a correct answer. Option III alone cannot enhance the sensitivity of the thermometer. The diameter of the capillary tube only affects the rate at which the thermometer responds to temperature changes, but it has no effect on the sensitivity or the precision of the measurements. Therefore, option III is not the correct answer. Therefore, the correct answer is option II only, which is "II. use a liquid of high volume expansivity."

The phenomenon of light bending round an obstacle is?

Detalles de la respuesta

The phenomenon of light bending around an obstacle is called diffraction. When light waves encounter an obstacle or an opening in an object that is comparable in size to the wavelength of the light, the waves will bend and spread out. This bending and spreading out of waves is known as diffraction. It is a characteristic of waves that causes them to bend around obstacles or to spread out after passing through small openings. Refraction is the bending of light as it passes through a medium, such as a lens or a prism. Reflection is the bouncing of light off a surface. Polarization refers to the orientation of the electric field in a light wave, which can be either parallel or perpendicular to the direction of the wave.

The unit of moment of a couple can be expressed in?

Detalles de la respuesta

The unit of moment of a couple can be expressed in "N m", which stands for Newton-meters. This is because moment is defined as the product of the magnitude of the force and the perpendicular distance between the line of action of the force and the point about which the moment is being calculated. In the case of a couple, there are two equal and opposite forces acting at a perpendicular distance from each other, and the moment of the couple is the product of one of the forces and the distance between the forces. The unit of force is Newtons (N) and the unit of distance is meters (m), so the unit of moment is Newton-meters (N m).

Detalles de la respuesta

The question is asking for the instantaneous value of the induced e.m.f at one quarter of the period. The given equation for the e.m.f as a function of time is ε = εo sin ωt, where εo is the peak value of the e.m.f. One quarter of the period corresponds to a time t = T/4, where T is the period of the waveform. At this time, the argument of the sine function is ωt = π/2. Therefore, the instantaneous value of the e.m.f. at one quarter of the period is ε = εo sin(π/2) = εo * 1 = εo. The answer is therefore (c) εo/2.

118.8cm2 surface of the copper cathode of a voltameter is to be coated with 10-6m thick copper of density 9 x 103kgm-3. How long will the process run with 10A constant current?

[3.3 x 10-7kgC-1]

Detalles de la respuesta

The problem is asking for the time it will take to deposit a certain thickness of copper on a copper cathode in a voltameter given the surface area of the cathode, the desired thickness of the deposit, the density of copper and a constant current. The formula to use is: time = (mass of copper deposited) / (current x electrochemical equivalent of copper) The mass of copper deposited can be calculated as: mass = volume x density = (surface area x thickness) x density The electrochemical equivalent of copper is the amount of copper deposited by one coulomb of charge passing through a copper ion in the electrolyte, and its value is 0.000329 gC^-1. Substituting the given values in the above formulas, we get: mass = (118.8 cm^2 x 10^-6 m) x (9 x 10^3 kgm^-3) = 1.0692 x 10^-3 kg electrochemical equivalent of copper = 0.000329 kgC^-1 time = (1.0692 x 10^-3 kg) / (10 A x 0.000329 kgC^-1) = 3.2548 s Converting the time to minutes, we get: time = 3.2548 s x (1 min / 60 s) = 0.0542 min ≈ 5.4 min Therefore, the answer is 5.4 min.

A particle of weight 120N is placed on a plane inclined at 300 to the horizontal. If the plane has an efficiency of 60% to the floor what is the force required to push the weight uniformly up the plane?

Detalles de la respuesta

Efficiency = $\frac{W\left(120N\right)INPUT}{WORKOUTPUT}\times \frac{100}{1}$

And for incline plane

V.R =$\frac{1}{Sin\theta }=V.R=\frac{1}{Sin30}=\frac{1}{0.5}=2\text{therefore}\frac{60}{120}=\frac{M.A}{2}=M.A=\frac{120}{100}=1.2\text{but M.A}=\frac{load}{effort}=\frac{120}{E}\text{therefore}\frac{120}{E}=1.2=E=\frac{120}{1.2}=100N$

Therefore Effort up the plane = 100N

A 40KW electric cable was uses to transmit electricity through a resistor of resistance 2.00Ω at 800V. The power loss as internal energy is

Detalles de la respuesta

In general, Power = IV;$⟹40KW=IV\text{Therefore}40000=1\times 800⟹I=\frac{40000}{800}=50A,\text{tune the current through}$

Resistor = 50A
power loss= I2R = 502 x 2
= 2500 x 2 = 5.0 x 103W

In the diagram above , if the magnetic field points into the paper and the force on a current - carrying conductor points upwards, what is the direction of the current?

Detalles de la respuesta

According to Fleming's left-hand rule, which relates the direction of the magnetic field, current, and force in a conductor, the direction of the current in the conductor will be perpendicular to both the direction of the magnetic field and the direction of the force acting on it. In this case, the magnetic field points into the paper (i.e., downwards, from our perspective), and the force on the conductor points upwards. Therefore, the direction of the current in the conductor must be perpendicular to both, which is to the left. Hence, the answer is "Left".
