A wire of cross-sectional area 0.60mm2 has a restivity of 7.2 x 10-7 \(\Omega\). Calculate the length of wire that will have a resistance of 3\(\Omega\).
Bayanin Amsa
The formula for calculating resistance is R = ρ(L/A), where R is the resistance of the wire, ρ is the resistivity of the wire material, L is the length of the wire, and A is the cross-sectional area of the wire. We are given the cross-sectional area and resistivity of the wire, as well as the desired resistance. We can rearrange the formula above to solve for L as follows: L = (RA)/ρ Substituting the given values, we get: L = (3 x 0.60 x 10^-6) / (7.2 x 10^-7) = 2.5 meters Therefore, the length of wire that will have a resistance of 3Ω is 2.5m. The correct option is (b) 2.50m.

A body is projected with an initial velocity U at an angle O to the horizontal. The time taken by it to reach its maximum height is given by the expression
Bayanin Amsa
When a projectile is projected with an initial velocity U at an angle O to the horizontal, it follows a parabolic path. The projectile reaches the maximum height at a certain point, then falls back to the ground. At the highest point, the vertical component of the velocity becomes zero. Let's assume that the time taken by the body to reach the maximum height is t. At the maximum height, the vertical component of the velocity becomes zero. Therefore, using the first equation of motion: v = u + gt where v = 0 and u = Usinθ 0 = Usinθ - gt gt = Usinθ t = Usinθ/g Therefore, the time taken by the body to reach its maximum height is given by the expression: t = Usinθ/g Thus, the correct option is: \(\frac{u \text{sin}\theta}{g}\)

A bullet fired vertically upwards reaches a height of 500m. Neglecting air resistance, calculate the magnitude of the initial velocity of the bullet. [g = 10ms-2]
Bayanin Amsa
When a bullet is fired vertically upwards, it will continue to move upward until the force of gravity acting downwards slows it down to a stop and then pulls it back down towards the ground. The maximum height the bullet reaches before it falls back down is called the maximum height or the vertex. At the maximum height, the final velocity of the bullet is zero, and the initial velocity is what we are required to find. We can use the equation of motion that relates the initial velocity, final velocity, acceleration and displacement to solve for the initial velocity. This equation is: vf2 = vi2 + 2as where vf is the final velocity (zero), vi is the initial velocity (what we want to find), a is the acceleration due to gravity (-10ms-2 since it is acting in the opposite direction to the motion of the bullet), and s is the displacement (500m). Substituting the known values into the equation, we get: 0 = vi2 + 2(-10ms-2)(500m) Simplifying, we get: vi2 = 10000 Taking the square root of both sides, we get: vi = 100ms-1 Therefore, the magnitude of the initial velocity of the bullet is 100.0ms-1.

in a nuclear fission process, the mass defect was 1.2 x 10-5kg. Calculate the energy released. [speed of the light in vacuum = c = 3.0 x 108ms-1]
Bayanin Amsa
The energy released in a nuclear fission process can be calculated using Einstein's famous equation E = mc^2, where E is the energy released, m is the mass defect, and c is the speed of light. Substituting the given values, we have: E = (1.2 x 10^-5 kg) x (3.0 x 10^8 m/s)^2 E = (1.2 x 10^-5 kg) x (9.0 x 10^16 m^2/s^2) E = 1.08 x 10^12 J Therefore, the energy released in the nuclear fission process is 1.08 x 10^12 J. So the answer is (c) 1.08 x 10^12 J.

Which of the following concepts is a method of heat transfer that does not require a material medium?
Bayanin Amsa
The correct answer is radiation. Radiation is a method of heat transfer that does not require a material medium. It involves the transfer of heat through electromagnetic waves, such as infrared radiation. Radiation can occur through a vacuum, which means that it can take place even in the absence of a medium or matter. Examples of radiation include the warmth you feel from the sun, the heat emitted by a fire, and the energy released by a light bulb.

Bayanin Amsa
An object floats in a fluid when it displaces its weight of the fluid in which it floats. This is known as Archimedes' principle. The principle states that any object, wholly or partially immersed in a fluid, experiences an upward buoyant force equal in magnitude to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object. If the buoyant force is greater than or equal to the weight of the object, the object will float in the fluid.

What type of wave is emitted by a loud speaker?
Bayanin Amsa
A loudspeaker emits a longitudinal wave. Sound waves are mechanical waves that travel through a medium by compressing and rarefying the particles of the medium. In a longitudinal wave, the displacement of the particles is parallel to the direction of wave propagation. When an electric current is applied to the speaker, it causes the speaker cone to vibrate back and forth, creating areas of compression and rarefaction in the surrounding air. These pressure waves then travel through the air to reach our ears, where they are detected as sound. Therefore, sound waves are examples of longitudinal waves.

A swimming pool is 2.1m deep. If it contains water of refractive index 1.3, calculate the apparent depth of pool
Bayanin Amsa
When light enters from one medium to another, its speed changes and it bends. This is called refraction. The refractive index (n) of a medium is the ratio of the speed of light in vacuum to the speed of light in the medium.
The formula for calculating the apparent depth (d') of an object in a medium is given as:
d' = d/n
where d is the actual depth of the object and n is the refractive index of the medium.
In this case, the actual depth of the pool is given as 2.1m and the refractive index of water is 1.3.
Therefore, the apparent depth of the pool can be calculated as follows:
d' = 2.1m / 1.3 = 1.6m
Thus, the apparent depth of the pool is 1.6m. Therefore, the correct option is C.

To establish a steady current through the incomplete circuit diagram, a cell (battery) must be connected between the points P and Q. A cell provides the potential difference (voltage) required for the current to flow in the circuit. Without a cell, the circuit is incomplete, and no current will flow. Therefore, the correct answer is option C, cell.

Bayanin Amsa
The force of attraction between two masses is given by the formula: F = G(m1m2)/d^2 where: F = force of attraction G = gravitational constant (6.7 x 10^-11 Nm^2/kg^2) m1 = mass of the first object (in kg) m2 = mass of the second object (in kg) d = distance between the centers of the two objects (in meters) Given: Mass of the earth (m1) = 6.0 x 10^24 kg Mass of the moon (m2) = 7.0 x 10^22 kg Distance between them (d) = 4.0 x 10^8 m Gravitational constant (G) = 6.7 x 10^-11 Nm^2/kg^2 Substituting the values into the formula: F = G(m1m2)/d^2 F = 6.7 x 10^-11 x (6.0 x 10^24) x (7.0 x 10^22) / (4.0 x 10^8)^2 F = 1.8 x 10^20 N Therefore, the force of attraction between the earth and the moon is 1.8 x 10^20 N. Answer option (D) is correct.

When an air column is set into vibrations, the distance between two consecutive nodes of the resultant wave is
Bayanin Amsa
When an air column is set into vibrations, it produces sound waves which propagate through the air. In a stationary wave, nodes are the points that appear to be standing still and do not undergo any vibration. They are formed due to the interference between the incident wave and the reflected wave. The distance between two consecutive nodes of a stationary wave is half of the wavelength. This is because a node is formed at the point where the incident wave and reflected wave interfere destructively, resulting in a minimum amplitude or zero displacement. Thus, the distance between two consecutive nodes is equal to half the distance between a node and an antinode (the points of maximum amplitude or displacement), which is half of the wavelength. Therefore, the correct answer is "half of the wavelength".

The slope of a straight-line velocity-time graph represents the uniform acceleration. In other words, if the graph is a straight line, the slope of the line represents the rate at which the velocity is changing, which is the acceleration. The steeper the slope, the greater the acceleration, while a zero slope represents zero acceleration, which means the velocity is constant. Therefore, is the correct answer: uniform acceleration.

The cooling curve shows the temperature changes of a molten substance as it cools. As the molten substance cools, its temperature gradually decreases until it solidifies. The temperature at which the substance changes from liquid to solid state is known as its melting point. In the given cooling curve, the temperature at which the curve plateaus and changes direction from a downward slope to a horizontal line is around 60°C. Therefore, 60°C is the melting point of the substance being tested. Therefore, the correct answer is "melting point".

Bayanin Amsa
Materials that can be stretched and still return to their original forms when the stresses are removed are said to be elastic. When a force is applied to an elastic material, it deforms in response to the force, but once the force is removed, the material returns to its original shape. This is due to the elastic material's ability to store the energy of deformation and then release it when the force is removed. Examples of elastic materials include rubber bands, springs, and certain types of metals.

Which of the following statements is correct? When capacitors of different values are connected in series
Bayanin Amsa
When capacitors of different values are connected in series, the same charge flows through them. This is because the capacitors are connected in a series, so the same current flows through all of them. Since capacitors store charge, the same amount of charge must flow through each capacitor to maintain the same current. However, the voltage across each capacitor will be different, since the voltage drop across each capacitor will be proportional to its capacitance value. So, option A is correct.

In a couple, two equal and opposite forces act on a body, but they are not in the same line. The resultant force of a couple is defined as the algebraic sum of the forces, which is zero because the forces are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction. However, the couple produces a turning effect or torque on the body, which is not zero, and depends on the magnitude of the forces and the distance between them. So the answer is (a) zero.

A girl standing some distance from the cliff claps her hands and hears the echo 0.8s later. calculate her distance from the cliff. [speed of sound in air = 320 ms-1]
Bayanin Amsa
When sound waves travel, they can bounce off surfaces and return to the listener's ear, creating an echo. The distance between the listener and the reflecting surface can be calculated from the time taken for the sound to travel to the surface and back, and the speed of sound. In this problem, the time taken for the sound to travel to the cliff and back (i.e., the time for the echo to be heard) is given as 0.8s. The speed of sound in air is given as 320 ms-1. Let's call the distance between the girl and the cliff "d". When she claps her hands, a sound wave travels the distance "d" to the cliff and then back again to her ear, covering a total distance of 2d. The time taken for this round trip is equal to the time for the echo to be heard, which is 0.8s. So, we can use the formula: distance = speed x time to calculate the distance "d" between the girl and the cliff. Rearranging the formula, we get: distance = (speed x time) / 2 Substituting the values given in the problem, we get: distance = (320 ms-1 x 0.8s) / 2 distance = 128m Therefore, the girl is 128 meters away from the cliff. So, the correct option is (b) 128m.

Bayanin Amsa
The statement mentioned in the question is related to Pascal's principle. Pascal's principle states that the pressure applied to an enclosed fluid in a container is transmitted equally throughout the fluid and to the container walls. This principle is based on the fact that fluids are incompressible, which means that they cannot be compressed or squeezed into a smaller volume. Therefore, any pressure applied to one end of the fluid is transmitted equally to all parts of the fluid and to the walls of the container. This principle is used in many applications, including hydraulic systems, where a small force applied to one end of a piston is transmitted to a larger force at the other end, allowing heavy loads to be lifted with ease.

The crackling noise produced by aluminum roofing sheets on a house during a hot sunny day is a result of the expansion of the sheets. The heat from the sun causes the metal to expand, and as a result, the sheets push against each other, making the crackling noise. This is because metal expands when heated and contracts when cooled. So during a hot day, the metal expands, and as it cools down in the evening, it contracts, which may also produce a similar noise.

An object is placed 20cm from a concave mirror of focal length 15cm. Calculate the linear magnification of the image formed
Bayanin Amsa
The linear magnification of an image formed by a spherical mirror is given by the formula: magnification = height of image / height of object = -v/u where u is the object distance, v is the image distance and the negative sign indicates that the image is inverted. Given that the object is placed 20cm from a concave mirror of focal length 15cm, we can use the mirror formula: 1/f = 1/u + 1/v Rearranging this formula, we get: 1/v = 1/f - 1/u Substituting the given values, we get: 1/v = 1/15 - 1/20 1/v = (4 - 3)/60 1/v = 1/60 v = 60 cm Now, the magnification can be calculated as: magnification = -v/u = -60/20 = -3 Therefore, the linear magnification of the image formed is 3. Since the image is inverted, the sign of the magnification is negative. So, the correct answer is (d) 3.0.
