An alloy consists of n metals of mass m1,m2, m3, . . … . . , mn and specific heat of the alloy, c?

Answer»

Given, c is the specific heat of the alloy. Suppose that the alloy is heated through θºc.

Now mass of the alloy,

M = m1 + m2 + m3+. . … . . +mn.

The amount of heat required to heat the alloy is given by

Q = (m1 + m2+. . … . . +mn)cθ. …(i)

Also, Q = m1c1θ + m2c2θ + m3c3θ+. . … . . +mncnθ …(ii)

From the eqn. (i) and (ii)

(m1 + m2 + m3+. . … . . +mn) cθ

= (m1c1 + m2c2 + m3c3+. . … . . +mncn)θ

c = \(\frac{m_1c_1+m_2c_2+m_3c_3+.....+m_nc_n}{m_1+m_2+m_3+.....+m_n}\)

5.

Heating system which are based upon circulation of steam are more efficient in warming a building than those based on circulation of water. Why?

Answer»

1 gram steam at 100ºC has 540 cals heat more than water at same temperature due to latent heat. It makes heating system based on steam circulation, more efficient.

6.

Explain why:1. The earth without its atmosphere would be inhospitably cold.2. heating systems based on circulation of steam are more efficient in warming a building than those based on the circulation of hot water.

Answer»

1. The earth’s atmosphere acts like an insulating blanket around it and does not allow heat to escape out but reflects it back to the earth. If it were absent, the heat would have escaped and the planet would be very cold. 

2. Steam has a higher heat capacity (due to the latent heat) than boiling water. Therefore steam-based water heating systems are more effective.

7.

The earth with out its atmosphere would be inhospitably cold. Explain Why?

Answer»

The lower layers of earth’s atmosphere reflect infrared radiations from earth back to the surface of earth. Thus the heat radiations received by the earth from the sun during the day are kept trapped by the atmosphere. If atmosphere of earth were not there, its surface would become too cold to live.  

8.

What is the net charge of an electric dipole?

Answer»

3cos-1x = cos-1(4x3 - 3x), x ∈ [1/2, 1]

Answer»

माना cos-1x = θ ∴ cosθ = x 

∴ cos3θ = 4cos3θ – 3cos θ 

⇒ cos3θ = 4x3 – 3x 

⇒ 3θ = cos-1(4x3 – 3x) 

∴ 3cos-1x = cos-1(4x3 – 3x)

17.

Simplify: tan-1(x/y) - tan-1((x - y)/(x + y))

Answer»

Given tan-1(x/y) - tan-1((x - y)/(x + y)) = tan-1(x/y) - tan-1((x/y - 1)/(x/y + 1))

= tan-1(x/y) - (tan-1(x/y) - tan-1)  (∵ tan-1x - tan-1y = tan-1((x - y)/(1 + x.y)))

tan-11 = π/4

To Wordsworth, nature was a living presence. Pick out any 5 details from the poem to support this.

Answer»

‘One summer evening’; ‘small circles glittering idly in the moon’; ‘she was an elfin pinnace’; ‘my boat went heaving through the water like a swan’; ……… a huge peak, black and huge, as if with voluntary power instinct, upreared its head.’

Why did Wordsworth say that his moving the boat is an act of stealth? Why was he guilty of his act?

Probably because the boy was very young, he was not allowed to row it on his own, or probably the owner of the boat did not like anyone touching his boat. Here the boy does not inform the owner or take his permission to use the boat. Hence Wordsworth says that the boy’s moving of the boat is an act of stealth. It was an act of stealing and his joy and thrill of adventure were troubled by a sense of guilt.

Fear caused by the sight of the huge, black peak.
