The area under a velocity-time graph represents

Detalhes da Resposta

The area under a velocity-time graph represents the distance covered by an object. Velocity is the rate of change of displacement with time. Therefore, the area under the velocity-time graph is equal to the displacement covered by the object during the given time interval. This is because the area under the graph is the product of the time interval and the average velocity during that time interval, which is equal to the distance traveled. So, the correct option is "distance covered".

The unit of capacitance is

Detalhes da Resposta

The unit of capacitance is farad, which is represented by the symbol F. Capacitance is the ability of a capacitor to store electric charge per unit voltage applied. One farad of capacitance is defined as the capacitance of a capacitor that stores one coulomb of charge when a potential difference of one volt is applied across it. In simpler terms, it is a measure of the amount of electrical charge that can be stored in a capacitor for a given voltage.

An object is placed 20.0cm in front of a converging lens of focal length 15.0cm. Calculate its image distance

Detalhes da Resposta

The formula to calculate the image distance for a converging lens is: 1/f = 1/do + 1/di where f is the focal length of the lens, do is the distance of the object from the lens, and di is the distance of the image from the lens. Substituting the given values: 1/15 = 1/20 + 1/di Simplifying and solving for di: di = 60 cm Therefore, the image distance is 60.0cm. Answer: Option D.

Total internal reflection occurs in an optical prism when light rays

Detalhes da Resposta

Total internal reflection occurs in an optical prism when light rays are incident in the prism at an angle greater than the critical angle. When a light ray travels from an optically denser medium (like a glass prism) to a less dense medium (like air), it bends away from the normal line. As the angle of incidence increases, the angle of refraction also increases until it reaches a certain angle called the critical angle. If the angle of incidence is greater than the critical angle, the light ray is totally reflected back into the denser medium, which is known as total internal reflection. This phenomenon is used in various optical devices such as prisms, optical fibers, and reflecting telescopes.

Ether produces a cooling effect when it is poured on the hand because it has

Detalhes da Resposta

Ether produces a cooling effect when it is poured on the hand because it has a high latent heat of vaporization. Latent heat is the energy absorbed or released during a phase change. When ether is poured on the hand, it quickly evaporates due to its low boiling point. As it evaporates, it absorbs heat energy from the hand to overcome the intermolecular forces holding the liquid together, causing a cooling effect on the skin. The higher the latent heat of vaporization, the greater the cooling effect. Therefore, "high latent heat of vaporization" is the correct answer.

The capacitance of a parallel-plate capacitor

Detalhes da Resposta

The capacitance of a parallel-plate capacitor is the ratio of the magnitude of the charge on either plate to the potential difference between them. The capacitance is directly proportional to the area of the plates and inversely proportional to the distance between them. Thus, as the separation between the plates decreases, the capacitance increases. The capacitance is also directly proportional to the permittivity of the dielectric material between the plates. A dielectric is an insulating material that can be placed between the plates of a capacitor to increase its capacitance. The permittivity of the dielectric material is a measure of its ability to store electrical energy in an electric field. Thus, adding a dielectric between the plates of a parallel-plate capacitor increases the capacitance. Therefore, the correct answer is: the capacitance of a parallel-plate capacitor is greater with a dielectric material between the plates than without a dielectric.

two sound waves have frequencies of 12Hz and 10Hz. Calculate their beats period

Detalhes da Resposta

When two sound waves of different frequencies overlap, they interfere with each other to produce a resultant wave. If the frequencies of the two waves are close, a phenomenon called beats occurs, where the amplitude of the resultant wave varies periodically. The period of beats is given by T = 1/(f1 - f2), where f1 and f2 are the frequencies of the two waves. Using the formula, we can calculate the beats period for the given frequencies: T = 1/(12 Hz - 10 Hz) = 1/2 Hz = 0.5 s Therefore, the answer is 0.5s.

Detalhes da Resposta

The absolute refractive index of a medium is the ratio of the speed of light in a vacuum to the speed of light in that medium. Therefore, the formula for the absolute refractive index of the medium is: \[\text{Absolute refractive index} = \frac{\text{Speed of light in vacuum}}{\text{Speed of light in the medium}} = \frac{C}{V}\] Therefore, the answer is \(\frac{C}{V}\).

Uranium-234 disintegrated to form Thorium-230 by emitting

Detalhes da Resposta

Uranium-234 and Thorium-230 are both radioactive isotopes, meaning they undergo spontaneous nuclear decay. In this case, Uranium-234 disintegrates to form Thorium-230 by emitting an alpha particle. An alpha particle is a helium nucleus, consisting of two protons and two neutrons, which is ejected from the nucleus during alpha decay. This results in the atomic number of the daughter nucleus being reduced by 2 and the mass number being reduced by 4. So, is correct.

Which of the following statements is not correct?

Detalhes da Resposta

The statement that is not correct is: "molecules of ice, water and water vapour have equal intermolecular distances." Explanation: - Ice, water, and water vapour are different states of water. They have different intermolecular distances because the intermolecular forces between their molecules are different. - In ice, the intermolecular forces are the strongest due to hydrogen bonding, which results in a rigid and orderly arrangement of water molecules with a fixed intermolecular distance. - In liquid water, the intermolecular forces are weaker than in ice, and the intermolecular distance is more variable. - In water vapour, the intermolecular forces are weakest among the three, and the intermolecular distance is the largest. Therefore, the statement that molecules of ice, water and water vapour have equal intermolecular distances is not correct.

Which of the following statements about the image formed by a plane mirror is not correct?

Detalhes da Resposta

The correct option is: "it is formed by actual intersection of rays." Explanation: When an object is placed in front of a plane mirror, its image is formed behind the mirror. The image formed is virtual, which means that it cannot be projected onto a screen. It is laterally inverted, which means that left appears as right and right appears as left. The size of the image is the same as that of the object, and therefore, it has unit magnification. The distance of the image from the mirror is the same as the distance of the object from the mirror, and therefore, the last statement is also true. However, the image is not formed by actual intersection of rays as the rays of light do not actually converge at the position of the image. The image is formed due to the reflection of light from the mirror's surface.

A coin is pushed from the edge of a laboratory bench with a horizontal velocity of 15.0 ms^-1. If the height of the bench from the floor is 1.5m, calculate the distance from the foot of the bench to the point of impact with the floor [g = 10ms^-2]

Detalhes da Resposta

We can solve this problem using kinematic equations of motion. Since the motion is projectile motion, we can break it into two components, horizontal and vertical. In the horizontal direction, there is no acceleration, so the velocity remains constant throughout the motion. In the vertical direction, the coin is moving upward against the force of gravity, which causes it to slow down, then come to rest at the highest point before falling downward. The time taken to reach the highest point can be calculated using the vertical component of the initial velocity and acceleration due to gravity. Using the equation: v = u + at where: v = final velocity = 0 (at the highest point) u = initial velocity = 0 a = acceleration due to gravity = 10 ms^-2 t = time taken to reach the highest point Solving for t, we get: t = u/a = 15.0/10 = 1.5s The maximum height reached by the coin can be calculated using the equation: s = ut + 0.5at^2 where: s = maximum height reached u = initial vertical velocity = 0 a = acceleration due to gravity = 10 ms^-2 t = time taken to reach the highest point = 1.5s Solving for s, we get: s = 0 + 0.5 x 10 x (1.5)^2 = 11.25m Now, the coin falls from the maximum height and hits the floor. The time taken to fall from the maximum height can be calculated using the equation: s = ut + 0.5at^2 where: s = height of the bench = 1.5m u = initial vertical velocity = 0 a = acceleration due to gravity = 10 ms^-2 t = time taken to fall from maximum height Solving for t, we get: 1.5 = 0 + 0.5 x 10 x t^2 t^2 = 0.3 t = sqrt(0.3) = 0.55s (ignoring the negative root) Now, we can calculate the horizontal distance traveled by the coin during the time it was in the air using the equation: s = ut + 0.5at^2 where: s = horizontal distance traveled u = initial horizontal velocity = 15.0ms^-1 a = acceleration in horizontal direction = 0 (no acceleration) t = time taken to fall from maximum height = 0.55s Solving for s, we get: s = 15.0 x 0.55 = 8.25m Therefore, the distance from the foot of the bench to the point of impact with the floor is approximately 8.25m. Answer: 8.22m (rounding off to two decimal places)

The radius of a wheel is 30.0 cm and that of its axle is 6.0cm. Calculate the effort required to lift a load of 120.0N using this machine. Assuming 100% efficiency

Detalhes da Resposta

This is a problem involving the mechanical advantage of a simple machine. The machine in question is a wheel and axle. The effort required to lift a load is dependent on the mechanical advantage of the machine. The mechanical advantage of a wheel and axle is the ratio of the radius of the wheel to the radius of the axle. In this case, the mechanical advantage is: MA = radius of wheel / radius of axle = 30 cm / 6 cm = 5 This means that for every unit of effort applied to the machine, it can lift 5 units of load. Using this information, we can determine the effort required to lift a load of 120.0 N by setting up the equation: MA = load / effort Solving for effort, we get: effort = load / MA = 120.0 N / 5 = 24.0 N Therefore, the effort required to lift a load of 120.0 N using this machine with 100% efficiency is 24.0 N. The correct answer is (c) 24.0N.

Detalhes da Resposta

The threshold frequency in photoelectric emission is the minimum frequency of incident radiation required to eject electrons. This means that if the frequency of the incident radiation is below the threshold frequency, no electrons will be emitted, regardless of the intensity or duration of the radiation. However, if the frequency of the incident radiation is equal to or greater than the threshold frequency, electrons will be emitted, and their kinetic energy will increase with increasing frequency. Therefore, the correct option is "minimum frequency of incident radiation required to eject electrons."

The image formed by a convex mirror is always

Detalhes da Resposta

The image formed by a convex mirror is always virtual, erect and diminished. A convex mirror is a diverging mirror, meaning that it spreads out the light rays that enter it. The image formed by a convex mirror is virtual, which means that it cannot be projected onto a screen. It is always upright or erect, which means that it is not inverted like the image formed by a concave mirror. The image formed by a convex mirror is always smaller than the object, hence diminished.

The correct relationship between "G" and "g" in a gravitational field is given by the equation (Where the symbols have their usual meanings)

Detalhes da Resposta

The correct relationship between "G" and "g" in a gravitational field is given by the equation g = \(\frac{GM}{R^2}\), where g represents the acceleration due to gravity, G is the gravitational constant, M is the mass of the attracting body, and R is the distance between the centers of mass of the two objects. This equation is known as Newton's law of gravitation and states that the force of attraction between two objects is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. The acceleration due to gravity at any point is the gravitational force experienced by a unit mass at that point. The gravitational constant G is a fundamental constant of nature and is considered to be one of the most accurately measured physical constants.

Detalhes da Resposta

X-rays are electromagnetic waves that are produced when high-speed electrons are stopped by a metal target. They have many useful properties such as traveling in straight lines, traveling at the speed of light, and affecting photographic films. X-rays, however, are not affected by magnetic fields, meaning they cannot be deflected by a magnetic field. Therefore, the property that is not applicable to X-rays is that they are deflected by magnetic fields.

The resistivity, \(\mathit{P}\), of a material of length l, cross-sectional area A, resistance R, is given by the equation

Detalhes da Resposta

The resistivity, \(\mathit{P}\), of a material is a measure of its ability to resist the flow of electric current. The resistance, R, of a material is directly proportional to its length, l, and inversely proportional to its cross-sectional area, A. Therefore, we can say that \(\mathit{P} = \frac{RA}{l}\), as this equation combines the resistance, length, and cross-sectional area to give the resistivity of the material.

Detalhes da Resposta

The property of a fluid that is used to determine its suitability as a lubricant is its viscosity. Viscosity is a measure of a fluid's resistance to flow or deformation, and it is directly related to its thickness or consistency. The thicker the fluid, the higher its viscosity, and the more effective it is at providing lubrication and reducing friction between two surfaces. Therefore, high viscosity fluids are preferred as lubricants since they provide better lubrication, while low viscosity fluids are preferred as coolants.

Detalhes da Resposta

The correct statement that defines a simple machine is: "a device with which work can be done easily". A simple machine is any mechanical device that can change the magnitude or direction of an applied force, making it easier to move or lift an object. Examples of simple machines include levers, pulleys, inclined planes, screws, and wheel and axle systems. These machines work by reducing the amount of force required to do a certain amount of work, allowing humans to accomplish tasks that would otherwise be difficult or impossible to perform. Therefore, option C is the correct answer.

Which of the following assumptions is not valid for an ideal gas ?

Detalhes da Resposta

The assumption that is not valid for an ideal gas is that the "force of attraction between molecules is negligible." This assumption is not valid for real gases since molecules have intermolecular forces of attraction. In an ideal gas, it is assumed that the gas particles have no intermolecular forces of attraction, meaning that they do not attract or repel each other, and they move independently. However, in reality, all gases have some degree of intermolecular forces of attraction.

A body is pulled over a distance of 500m by a force of 20N. If the power developed is o.4 kW, calculate the time interval during which the force is applied

Detalhes da Resposta

Power, P = work done (W) / time interval (t) We know that, work done (W) = force (F) x distance (d) Therefore, power (P) = (F x d) / t Rearranging this equation, we get: t = (F x d) / P Substituting the given values, we get: t = (20 N x 500 m) / 0.4 kW t = 25,000 s Therefore, the time interval during which the force is applied is 25,000 seconds.
