A ball of 0.1 kg makes an elastic head on collision with another ball of unknown mass at rest. If the first ball rebounds at one third of its initial speed, what is the mass of the other ball? |
|
Answer» m1 = 0.1 kg, m2 = ? u2 = 0, v1 = -1/3 u1 v1 = {(m1 + m2)u1}/{m1 + m2} + {2m1v2}/{m1 + m2} or, -u1/3 = {(0.1 - m2)u1}/{0.1 + m2} + 0 or, -1/3 = {0.1 - m2}/{0.1 + m2} or, -0.3 + 3m2 = 0.1 + m2 or, 2m2 = 0.1 + 0.3 = 0.4 or, m2 = 0.4/2 = 0.2 kg |

Calculate the wavelength of 1000 kg rocket moving with a velocity of 3000 km/hr. |
|
Answer» Given, m = 1000 kg v = 3000 km/hr = \(\frac{3000\times1000}{60\times60}\)m/sec = 833.33 m/sec According to de-Broglie equation, \(\lambda=\frac{h}{mv}\) = \(\frac{6.626\times10^{-34}Js}{1000\times833.33m/sec}\) = 7.951 × 10−40m |

Two particles A and B have wave length \(\lambda_A\) = 5 x 10-10m and \(\lambda_B\)= 10 x 10-10 m. Find their frequency, wave number and energies. Which has more penetrating power and why? |
|
Answer» For particle A \(\lambda_A\) = 5 x 10-10 m Frequency vA = \(\frac{c}{\lambda_A}\) = \(\frac{3\times10^8\,m/s}{5\times10^{-10}m}\) = 0.6 x 1018 = 6.0 × 1017 sec−1 Wave number \(\bar{v_A}\) = \(\frac{1}{\lambda_A}\) = \(\frac{1}{5\times10^{-10}m}\) = 0.2 × 1010 m−1 = 2.0 × 109 m−1 = 2.0 × 107 cm−1 Energy EA = \(\frac{hc}{\lambda_A}\) = hvA = 6.626 × 10−34js × 6.0 × 1017 s−1 = 39.756 × 10−17 J = 3.9756 × 10−16J For Particle B \(\lambda_B\) = 10 x 10-10 m Frequency vB = \(\frac{c}{\lambda_B}\) = \(\frac{3\times10^8m/sec}{10\times10^{-10}m}\) = 0.3 x 1018 = 3.0 × 1017 sec−1 Wave number \(\bar{v_B}\) = \(\frac{1}{\lambda_B}\) = \(\frac{1}{10\times10^{-10}m}\) = 0.1 × 10−10 m−1 = 1.0 × 109 m−1 = 1.0 × 107 cm−1 Energy EB = \(\frac{hc}{\lambda_B}\) = hvB = 6.626 × 10−34Js x 3.0 × 1017 s−1 = 19.878 × 10−17 J = 1.9878 × 10−16J Since the energy of particle A is more than energy of particle B, so particle A has more penetrating power. |

How are igneous rocks formed? |
|
Answer» Igneous rocks are formed by the cooling and solidification of molten rock called magma, which lies beneath the earth’s crust. These rocks are crystalline and compact. They do not occur in layers or strata nor do they contain fossils. The cooling and solidification may take place at some depth within the earth or at the surface. The molten magma that reaches the surface of the earth is called lava. Thus, there are two types of igneous rocks classified on the basis of their place of origin – intrusive rocks, which form at some depth in the earth’s crust and extrusive rocks which form at or near the surface of the earth. |
|
| 33. |
How are sedimentary rocks formed ? |
|
Answer» Sedimentary rocks are formed from sediments accumulated over long periods, usually under water on the floors of shallow seas, rivers and lakes. These rocks are non-crystalline and are found in layers or strata and contain fossils. Conglomerate, sandstone, limestone, chalk, calcite, and dolomite are example of sedimentary rocks. Sedimentary rocks are divided into various types depending on how they are formed. 1. Mechanically formed sedimentary rocks : These rocks have been formed by the accumulation of materials derived from other rocks which have been cemented together. Examples – conglomerate (rounded fragments), breccia (angular fragments). 2. Organically formed sedimentary rocks : These rocks have been formed by the accumulation of the remains of living organisms. Examples – calcareous rocks such as limestone and chalk. 3. Chemically formed sedimentary rocks: These rocks have been commonly formed by the process of evaporation of water containing salts in solution. Examples – rock salt, gypsum, potash, nitrates, calcite, and dolomite. |
