|
Answer» Radius of circle = 14 cm Angle = 60° Area of sector = \(\frac{θ}{360}πr^2\) = \(\frac{60}{360}π\times14\times14\) = \(\frac{98}3π\) = 102.57 cm2 Area of triangle OAB = \(\frac{1}2r^2\) sin θ = \(\frac{1}{2}\times14\times14\times{sin}θ\) = \(\frac{1}{2}\times14\times14\times\frac{\sqrt3}2\) = \(49\sqrt3\) = 84.77 cm2 So, Area of minor segment = 102.57 – 84.77 = 17.80 cm2 |

Area of sector = \(\frac{θ}{360}\timesπr^2\) = \(\frac{110}{360}\times\frac{22}7\times6\times6\) = \(\frac{274}7\) = 34.5 cm2 |

Having all units in atomic standards is more useful. Explain. |
|
Answer» An atomic mass unit (symbolized AMU or amu) is defined as precisely 1/12 the mass of an atom of carbon-12. The carbon-12 (C-12) atom has six protons and six neutrons in its nucleus. In imprecise terms, one AMU is the average of the proton rest mass and the neutron rest mass. This is approximately 1.67377 × 10-27 kilogram (kg), or 1.67377 × 10-24 gram (g). The mass of an atom in AMU is roughly equal to the sum of the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus. The AMU is used to express the relative masses of, and thereby differentiate between, various isotopes of elements. Thus, for example, uranium235 (U-235) has an AMU of approximately 235, while uranium-238 (U-238) is slightly more massive. The difference results from the fact that U-238, the most abundant naturally occurring isotope of uranium, has three more neutrons than U-235, an isotope that has been used in nuclear reactors and atomic bombs. |

Briefly explain the types of physical quantities. |
|
Answer» Physical quantities are classified into two types. There are fundamental and derived quantities. Fundamental or base quantities are quantities which cannot be expressed in terms of any other physical quantities. These are length, mass, time, electric current, temperature, luminous intensity and amount of substance. Quantities that can be expressed in terms of fundamental quantities are called derived quantities. For example, area, volume, velocity, acceleration, force. |

A field is in the form of a trapezium. Its area is 1586 m2 and the distance between its parallel sides is 26 m. If one of the parallel sides is 84 m, find the other. |
|
Answer» Given Let length of parallel sides be 84cm and y cm Area of trapezium = 1586 cm2 Let Height (h) = 26 cm We know that area of trapezium is \(\frac{1}{2}\)× (sum of parallel sides) × height Therefore Area of trapezium is \(\frac{1}{2}\)× (84 + y) × 26 =1586 cm2. \(\therefore \frac{1}{2}\)× (84 +y) × 26 = 1586 ⇒ (84 + y) × 13 =1586 ⇒ 84 + y = \(\frac{1586}{13}\) ⇒ y = 122 - 84 = 38 ∴ Length of the other parallel side is 38 cm. |
