Why did some of Newton’s friends advice his grand mother to apprentice him to a clock maker? |
|
Answer» In his early years, Newton was chiefly remarkable in his ability to invent things. He had manufactured a set of little tools and saws of various sizes. With the help of these things, he invented curious articles, at which he worked with so much skill. His friends and neighbours admired at the things manufactured by him. Some of his friends advised his grandmother to apprentice him to a clock maker because, besides his mechanical skill, Newton seemed to have a taste for mathematics, which would be very useful to him in that profession.

Find the domain of each of the following functions.(i) f(x) = x/(x2+3x+2)(ii) f(x) = [x] + x |
|
Answer» (i) f is a rational function of the form g(x)/h(x), where g (x) = x and h (x) = x2 + 3x + 2. Now h (x) ≠ 0 ⇒ x2 + 3x + 2 ≠ 0 ⇒ (x + 1) (x + 2) ≠ 0 and hence domain of the given function is R – {– 1, – 2}. (ii) f (x) = [x] + x,i.e., f (x) = h (x) + g(x) where h (x) = [x] and g (x) = x The domain of h = R and the domain of g = R. Therefore Domain of f = R |

When slow neutrons are incident on a target containing 23592U, a possible (fission) reaction is:23592U + n → 456 Ba + 9236 Kr + 3n.Estimate the amount of energy released using the following data:M (35U = 235.04 u, M(141 Ba) = 140.91 u,M (92 Kr) = 91.926 u, M(n) = 1.00874. The energy released in a fusion reaction is much less than the energy released in a fission reaction of the heavy nucleus. Why then is hydrogen bomb (based on nuclear fusion) far more powerful than the atom bomb based on nuclear fission)? |
|
Answer» Here total initial mass (23592U + 10n) = 235.04 + 1.0087 = 236.0487 u Total final mass (14556Ba + 9636Kr + 310n) = 235.8621 u Change in mass = 236.0487 - 235.8621 = 0.1866 u Energy released = 0.1866 x 931 = 173.72 MeV |

What do you mean by degradation of energy? Explain it by taking two examples of your daily life. |
|
Answer» The gradual decrease of useful energy due to friction etc. is called the degradation of energy. Examples: 1. When we cook food over a fire, the major part of heat energy from the fuel is radiated out in the atmosphere. This radiated energy is of no use to us. 2. When electrical appliances are run by electricity, the major part of electrical energy is wasted in the form of heat energy. |

A man raises a box of mass 50 kg to a height of 2 m in 2 minutes, while another man raises the same box to the same height in 5 minutes. Compare:(i) the work done and(ii) the power developed by them. |
|
Answer» (i) Work done in raising a 50kg mass to a height 2m against the force of gravity is: W = mg × h = mgh Hence both men will do the same amount of work. Hence, work done by A/work done by B = mgh/mgh = 50 x 10 x 2/50 x 10 x 2 = 1/1 = 1: 1 (ii) First man A takes 2 minutes to raise 50 kg mass Second man B takes 5 minutes to raise 50 kg mass. Power developed by man A = work done/Time taken mgh/t = 50 x 10 x 2J/120S = 25/3W Power developed by man B = work done/Time taken = mgh/t = 50 x 10 x 2J/5 x 60s = 10/3 W Power developed α 1/time taken Power developed by A/Power developed by B = (25/3)/(10/3) = 25/10 = 5/2 = 5 : 2 |

Collect the information about reactivity of VIIIA group elements (noble gases) from internet or from your school library and prepare a report on their special character when compared to other elements of periodic table. |
|
Answer» Reactivity of Noble gases : 1. The noble gases show extremely low chemical reactivity. 2. He and Ne do not form chemical compounds. 3. Xenon, krypton and argon show only minor reactivity. 4. The reactivity order follows like this : Ne < He < Ar < Kr < Xe < Rn. 5. Xenon can form compounds like XeF2 , XeF4 and XeF6, etc. Reasons for low reactivity : 1. The extremely low reactivity of noble gases is due to stable electronic configuration. 2. But as we move from top to bottom the reactivity increases. So xenon can form some compounds with high electronegative elements. |

The heart rater (the number of heart beats per minute) scales as 1/L, where L is the characteristic length of the mammal. (a) Can you explain this? (b) The scale factor of a human relative to a rhesus monkey is about 2.5. What is the monkey's heart beat rate? |
|
Answer» (a) Human heart rate is about 70 beats/min. More the characteristic length of the mammal, smaller is the heart-beat rate. (b) As scale factor of a human relative to a rhesus monkey is about 2.5, therefore, monkey's heart beat rate is 70 x 2.5 = 175 |
