A capacitor of capacitance 25µF is connected to an a.c power source of frequency 200/πHz. Calculate the reactance of the capacitor
Detalles de la respuesta
The reactance of a capacitor can be calculated using the formula X = 1/(2πfC), where X is the reactance, f is the frequency, and C is the capacitance. Given that the capacitance of the capacitor is 25µF and the frequency of the a.c power source is 200/πHz, we can substitute these values into the formula: X = 1/(2πfC) X = 1/(2π*(200/π)*25 x 10^-6) X = 1/(2*(200)*25 x 10^-6) X = 1/(10 x 10^-3) X = 100Ω Therefore, the reactance of the capacitor is 100Ω. Answer: 100Ω.

The current in the primary coil of a transformer is 2.5A. If the coil has 50 turns and the secondary250 turns, calculate the current in the secondary coil. Neglect energy losses in the transformer
Detalles de la respuesta
A transformer is an electrical device that can increase or decrease the voltage of an alternating current. It works on the principle of mutual induction. The current in the primary coil produces a magnetic field that induces a voltage in the secondary coil. According to the law of conservation of energy, the power (P) in the primary coil is equal to the power in the secondary coil. Power is equal to the product of current and voltage (P=IV). Since the transformer is ideal and there are no energy losses, the power in the primary coil is equal to the power in the secondary coil. Therefore, I1V1 = I2V2 where I1 and I2 are the currents in the primary and secondary coils, respectively, and V1 and V2 are the voltages in the primary and secondary coils, respectively. We know that the current in the primary coil is 2.5A, the number of turns in the primary coil is 50 and the number of turns in the secondary coil is 250. According to the transformer equation, the voltage in the secondary coil is equal to the voltage in the primary coil multiplied by the ratio of the number of turns in the secondary coil to the number of turns in the primary coil. Therefore, V2 = V1 x (N2/N1) = V1 x (250/50) = 5V Now we can calculate the current in the secondary coil using the formula for power: P = IV Since the power in the primary coil is equal to the power in the secondary coil, I1V1 = I2V2 2.5A x V1 = I2 x 5V I2 = 2.5A x V1/5V = 0.5A Therefore, the current in the secondary coil is 0.5A.

Detalles de la respuesta
The process that allows the odor of a leaking gas to be perceived at a distance from the source is diffusion. Diffusion is the movement of particles from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration, resulting in the mixing of substances. In this case, the gas particles are moving from the source of the leak to the surrounding air, where they become more spread out and less concentrated. As a result, the odor can be detected even at some distance from the source due to the diffusion of the gas particles in the air.

Steel bars each of length 3m at 28°C are to be used for constructing a rail line. If the linear expansitivity of the steel is 1 x \(10^{-5}K^{-1}\),what is the safety gap that must be left between the successive bars if the highest temperature expected is 40°C?
Detalles de la respuesta
The steel bars will undergo thermal expansion as the temperature increases from 28°C to 40°C. To prevent the bars from buckling or bending, a safety gap must be left between successive bars. The change in length of a steel bar can be calculated using the formula: ΔL = αLΔT Where: α = linear expansitivity of steel = 1 x 10^-5 K^-1 L = original length of steel bar = 3m ΔT = change in temperature = (40°C - 28°C) = 12°C Substituting the given values: ΔL = (1 x 10^-5 K^-1)(3m)(12°C) = 3.6 x 10^-4 m The safety gap to be left between the successive bars would be equal to the change in length of a single bar, which is 3.6 x 10^-4 m or 0.36 mm (since 1 m = 100 cm). Converting this to cm, we get: 0.36 mm = 0.036 cm Therefore, the safety gap that must be left between successive bars is 0.036 cm. Hence, the correct option is: - 3.6x10^-1 cm

Detalles de la respuesta
When white light is incident on a glass prism, the spectrum produced on a screen placed beyond the prism is due to refraction. White light consists of seven colors of different wavelengths. When white light enters the glass prism, it gets refracted at different angles depending on the wavelength of each color. The different colors are bent at different angles due to the different refractive indices of the prism material for each wavelength. This causes the light to separate into its constituent colors, creating a spectrum. The spectrum ranges from violet with the shortest wavelength, to red with the longest wavelength, with the other colors arranged in between.

A solid plastic cube of side 0.2m is submerged in a liquid density of 0.8kg\(m^{-3}\). Calculate the upthrust of the liquid on the cube (g=10\(ms^{-2}\)
Detalles de la respuesta
The upthrust on an object submerged in a fluid is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object. The volume of the cube is given by: V = (0.2m) x (0.2m) x (0.2m) = 0.008m³ Since the cube is submerged in a liquid density of 0.8kg\(m^{-3}\), the mass of the fluid displaced by the cube is: m = ρV = 0.8kg\(m^{-3}\) x 0.008m³ = 0.0064kg The weight of the fluid displaced is: W = mg = (0.0064kg) x (10\(ms^{-2}\)) = 0.064N Therefore, the upthrust on the cube is 0.064N. So the correct option is: - 0.064N

Whenever light waves are restricted to a specific plane they are said to be "plane polarized". In other words, when the vibrations of light waves occur only in a single plane perpendicular to the direction of propagation, they are said to be plane polarized. This can be achieved by using polarizing filters that block light waves vibrating in all but one direction. Plane polarized light waves have several important applications in science and technology, including in the study of crystal structures, 3D movie technology, and LCD screens.

Two identical waves traveling in the same direction are superimposed. What should be the phase difference between the waves for maximum destructive interference to occur?
Detalles de la respuesta
When two identical waves traveling in the same direction superimpose, they interfere constructively when their crests coincide and destructively when their crests coincide with troughs. For maximum destructive interference, the phase difference between the two waves should be half of a wavelength, or 180 degrees. This is because when the crest of one wave meets the trough of the other wave, they cancel each other out and the resultant amplitude is zero. Therefore, the correct answer is 180°.

Which of the following statements about kinetic theory of matter is not correct?
Detalles de la respuesta
The statement "When a body is heated the average kinetic energy of its molecules decreases" is not correct in the context of kinetic theory of matter. According to the theory, when a body is heated, the average kinetic energy of its molecules increases because heat is the energy of molecular motion. Therefore, the correct option is (B). Explanation: The kinetic theory of matter explains the behavior of matter in terms of the motion of its constituent particles. The theory assumes that matter is made up of very tiny particles called molecules, which are always in motion. When a body is heated, the kinetic energy of its molecules increases, and the temperature of the body increases as a result. Similarly, when a body is cooled, the kinetic energy of its molecules decreases, and the temperature of the body decreases as a result. In addition, the theory explains that the molecules of a gas move more freely than those of a liquid because the intermolecular forces between gas molecules are weak. The molecules of a liquid move more freely than those of a solid, but less freely than those of a gas because the intermolecular forces in liquids are stronger than those in gases but weaker than those in solids. Therefore, option (C) is correct.

Detalles de la respuesta
The correct answer is surface tension forces. Surface tension is a phenomenon that occurs because of the cohesive forces between the molecules of a liquid. When the paintbrush is immersed in water, the water molecules adhere to the brush bristles. When the brush is removed from water, the cohesive forces between the water molecules cause them to pull together, which in turn pulls the bristles of the brush together. This is due to the surface tension of the water, which acts like a thin film on the surface and creates the surface tension forces. The viscosity of the surrounding air, the low density of water, the weight or mass of the brush bristles do not play a significant role in this phenomenon.

Detalles de la respuesta
Lenz's law of electromagnetic induction is a statement of the law of conservation of energy. It states that when there is a change in magnetic flux through a closed loop, an induced emf (electromotive force) is generated in the loop which creates a current that opposes the change in magnetic flux. This means that energy is conserved because the induced current opposes the change in magnetic field, thereby slowing it down and preventing a sudden change in energy.

A magnet is being inserted into a coil of wire. On which of the following factors does the induced e.m.f in the coil depend? I. Number of turns in the coil II. Strength of the coil III. Speed with which magnet is inserted into the coil.
Detalles de la respuesta
The induced electromotive force (e.m.f) in a coil of wire depends on the rate of change of magnetic flux through the coil. The magnetic flux is directly proportional to the strength of the magnet and the speed at which it is inserted into the coil. Therefore, option III is correct. The induced e.m.f also depends on the number of turns in the coil, which determines the amount of magnetic flux linking the coil. Additionally, the strength of the coil is also a factor since a stronger coil can produce a stronger magnetic field and, hence, a larger magnetic flux. Therefore, options I and II are also correct. Thus, the answer is option V - I, II, and III only.

Detalles de la respuesta
The formula for calculating the wavelength of emitted radiation is given by: \begin{equation*} \lambda =\frac{hc}{\Delta E} \end{equation*} where $\lambda$ is the wavelength, $h$ is Planck's constant, $c$ is the speed of light and $\Delta E$ is the energy difference between the two energy levels. Given that the energy radiated is 1.5 x $10^{-19}$ J and the other constants are: Planck’s constant = 6.6 x $10^{-34}$ Js and speed of light in air = 3 x $10^{8}$ ms$^{-1}$, we can substitute these values into the formula and solve for the wavelength: \begin{align*} \lambda &=\frac{hc}{\Delta E}\\ &=\frac{(6.6\times 10^{-34}\text{Js})(3\times 10^8\text{ms}^{-1})}{1.5\times 10^{-19}\text{J}}\\ &=1.32\times 10^{-6}\text{m} \end{align*} Therefore, the wavelength of the emitted radiation is 1.32 x $10^{-6}$ m.

A converging lens of focal length 15cm is used to obtain a real image magnified \(1\frac{1}{2}\) times. Calculate the distance of the image from the lens?
Detalles de la respuesta
The formula for magnification is given as: magnification = - (image distance) / (object distance) where magnification is negative for real images. For a converging lens, the focal length is positive. Using the lens formula: 1/f = 1/u + 1/v where f is the focal length, u is the object distance, and v is the image distance. Given that the focal length of the lens is 15cm, the object distance is assumed to be greater than the focal length, since a real image is formed. Also, the magnification is given as 1.5. Using the formula for magnification, we can rewrite the image distance as: image distance = - (1.5) x (object distance) Substituting this into the lens formula: 1/15 = 1/u - 2/3u Solving for u, we get: u = 22.5cm Finally, using the lens formula to find the image distance: 1/15 = 1/22.5 + 1/v Solving for v, we get: v = 37.5cm Therefore, the distance of the image from the lens is 37.5cm. The correct option is: 37.5cm.

The half-life of a radioactive material is the time taken for half of the initial quantity of the material to decay. Therefore, if the half-life of a material is 6hrs, after 6 hours half of the initial quantity of the material would have decayed, and after 12 hours, a quarter of the initial quantity would have decayed. After 18 hours, 1/8 of the initial quantity would have decayed, and after 24 hours, 4 half-lives would have passed, meaning that 1/16 of the initial quantity would have decayed. Therefore, the quantity of 1kg of the material that would decay in 24 hours is 1/16kg. So the correct option is: 1/16kg.

To freeze water, it must be cooled from its initial temperature of 20°C to 0°C and then undergo a phase change from liquid to solid at 0°C. The amount of heat extracted from the water during cooling is given by: Q1 = mcΔT Where Q1 is the amount of heat, m is the mass of the water, c is its specific heat capacity, and ΔT is the change in temperature. Substituting the given values: Q1 = (100g) x (4.2J/gK) x (20°C-0°C) = 8,400J The amount of heat required for the water to freeze is given by: Q2 = mL Where Q2 is the amount of heat, m is the mass of the water, and L is the specific latent heat of fusion. Substituting the given values: Q2 = (100g) x (336J/g) = 33,600J The total amount of heat that must be extracted from the water to freeze it is the sum of Q1 and Q2: Qtot = Q1 + Q2 = 8,400J + 33,600J = 42,000J The rate at which heat is extracted from the water is given as 840J/min. Therefore, the time required to extract the total amount of heat required for freezing is: t = Qtot / heat extraction rate = 42,000J / 840J/min = 50 minutes Therefore, the time taken for the water to freeze is 50 minutes.

In a nuclear reaction, the mass defect is 2 x \(10^{-6}\)g. Calculate the energy released given that the velocity of light is 3 x \(10^{8}ms^{-1}\)
Detalles de la respuesta
When a nuclear reaction takes place, the total mass of the reactants may not be equal to the total mass of the products due to the conversion of some mass into energy. This is because mass and energy are interchangeable according to the famous equation E=mc², where E is energy, m is mass, and c is the speed of light. The mass defect is the difference between the total mass of the reactants and the total mass of the products, and it represents the mass that has been converted into energy. To calculate the energy released, we can use the equation E=mc², where m is the mass defect. We can convert the mass defect from grams to kilograms by dividing by 1000: mass defect = 2 x \(10^{-6}\) g = 2 x \(10^{-9}\) kg The speed of light is 3 x \(10^{8}ms^{-1}\). Substituting these values into the equation, we get: E = (2 x \(10^{-9}\) kg) x (3 x \(10^{8}ms^{-1}\))² = 1.8 x \(10^{8}\) J Therefore, the energy released in the nuclear reaction is 1.8 x \(10^{8}\) J.

Which of the following explains why a thick glass cup cracks when boiling water is poured into it?
Detalles de la respuesta
The correct option that explains why a thick glass cup cracks when boiling water is poured into it is "Unequal expansion of the exterior and interior walls of the cup." When boiling water is poured into a glass cup, the temperature of the cup increases rapidly. The outer layer of the cup expands due to the sudden increase in temperature while the inner layer remains cooler. Since the outer layer of the cup is hotter than the inner layer, it expands more than the inner layer. This uneven expansion causes stress on the glass, which may exceed its strength and cause it to crack or break. Therefore, the unequal expansion of the exterior and interior walls of the cup is the reason why it cracks when boiling water is poured into it.

An object falls freely from a height of 25m onto the roof a building 5m high. Calculate the velocity with which the object strikes the roof (g=10\(ms^{-2}\)
Detalles de la respuesta
To solve this problem, we can use the formula for the final velocity of an object undergoing free fall: v^2 = u^2 + 2gh Where v is the final velocity, u is the initial velocity (which is zero for an object dropped from rest), g is the acceleration due to gravity (given as 10 m/s^2), and h is the height from which the object is dropped. In this case, the object is dropped from a height of 25m, so h = 25m. It falls until it reaches the roof of the building, which is 5m high. So the distance it falls is 25 - 5 = 20m. Substituting these values into the formula, we get: v^2 = 0 + 2 * 10 * 20 v^2 = 400 v = sqrt(400) v = 20 m/s Therefore, the velocity with which the object strikes the roof is 20 m/s. So, the correct option is (b) 20\(ms^{-2}\).
