In 100 m race, A covers the distance in 36 seconds and B in 45 seconds. In this race A beats B by:1. 20 m2. 25 m3. 22.5 m4. 9 m

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 1 : 20 m

Given:

In 100 m race, A covers the distance in 36 seconds and B in 45 seconds.

Formula used:

Speed = distance/time

Distance = Speed × time

Calculation:

In 100 m race, A covers the distance in 36 seconds and B in 45 seconds.

According to the question,

A beats B by = (45 – 36) second

⇒ 9 second

Speed of B = 100/45

Distance covered by B in 9 second 

⇒ (100/45)× 9

⇒ 20 m

∴ A beats by B by 20 m.

Rajiv, Sanjiv and Vijay join a running race. The distance is 1500 meters. Rajiv beats Sanjiv by 30 meters and Vijay by 100 meters. By how much could Sanjiv beat Vijay over the full distance if they both ran as before?1. 72.3 meters2. 71.5 meters3. 71.4 meters4. 70.2 meters

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 3 : 71.4 meters

Given:

Distance = 1500 meters

Rajiv beats Sanjay by 30 meters 

Rajiv beats Vijay by 100 meters 

Calculations:

Rajiv runs distance = 1500 meters

Sanjiv runs distance = 1500 - 30 

⇒ 1470 metes

Vijay runs distance = 1500 - 100

⇒ 1400 meters

At the same rate, Sanjiv runs 1500 meters while Vijay runs = 1500 × 1400/1470

⇒ 1428.57

Sanjay beats Vijay by =1500 - 1428.57

⇒ 71.42 meters

 ∴ Sanjiv ought to beat Vijay by 71.4 meters.

12453.

In a 200 metres race A beats B by 35 m or 7 seconds. A's time over the course is:1. 40 sec2. 47 sec3. 33 sec4. None of these

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 3 : 33 sec

Given:

In a 200 metres race A beats B by 35 m or 7 seconds.

Formula used:

Time = Distance/speed

Calculation:

According to the question,

B runs 35 m in 7 second

Speed of B = Distance/time

⇒ 35/7

⇒ 5 m/sec

B covers 200 m in = 200/5

⇒ 40 second

A's time over the course = (40 – 7) second

⇒ 33 second.

∴ A's time over the course is 33 second.

Rajat beats Nitin by 240 m in a 1560 m race. Then they go to race on a slope where Rajat starts from bottom of the slope and Nitin starts from top of the slope they run towards each other and when they meet Nitin has travelled 20 m more than Rajat. If the speed of any person on the slope, compared to normal speed, becomes (150/11)%  more in decline and 10% less in incline, what was the total length of the slope? 1. 625 m2. 600 m3. 615 m4. 605 m

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 4 : 605 m

Distance travelled by Nitin, when Rajat finishes the race = 1560 – 240 = 1320 m

As we know, the speed is directly proportional to the distance covered if the time taken is constant.

Thus, the ratio of speeds of Rajat and Nitin = 1560/1320 = 13/11

Let 13x and 11x be the speeds of Rajat and Nitin respectively.

On the slope,

New speed of Rajat = (1 – 10%)13x = (0.9)13x = 11.7x

New speed of Nitin = (1 + 3/22)11x = (25/22)11x = 12.5x

Let’s assume Rajat and Nitin met each other on the slope after t time.

Then, according to question, 12.5xt – 11.7xt = 20 xt =20/0.8 = 25

Thus, total length of the slope = 12.5xt + 11.7xt = 24.2xt = 24.2 × 25 = 605 m

Explain the trends in ionisation enthap, density, melting and boiling point of gr 18 elements

Answer»

The first ionization energy decreases down a group in the periodic table. 
Because the atoms increases in atomic size down the group, the electron clouds of these non-polar atoms become increasingly polarized, which leads to weak van Der Waals forces among the atoms.  Thus, the formation of liquids and solids is more easily attainable for these heavier elements because of their melting and boiling points.

What are coherent sources of light? Why are coherent sources required to obtain sustained interference pattern?

Answer»

The sources of light, which emit continuous light waves of the same wavelength, same frequency and in same phase or having a constant phase difference are called coherent sources. When there is a single source of light, the distribution of light energy in the surrounding medium is uniform in all the directions. But, when we have two coherent sources of light emitting continuous waves of same amplitude, same wavelength and in the same phase (or with a constant phase difference), the distribution of light energy does not remain uniform in all the directions. At some points, where the crest of one wave falls on crest of the other, resultant amplitude is maximum. At certain other points, crest of one wave falls on trough of the other; and resultant amplitude becomes minimum (zero). 

This modification in energy distribution due to coherent sources gives rise to sustained interference pattern.

How is Eddy current produced? How do they flow in a conductor?

Answer»

Even for a conductor in the form of a sheet or plate, an emf is induced when magnetic flux linked with it changes. But the difference is that there is no definite loop or path for induced current to flow away. As a result, the induced currents flow in concentric circular paths. As these electric currents resemble eddies of water, these are known as Eddy currents. They are also called Foucault currents.

A source of sound with frequency `256 Hz` is moving with a velocity `V` towards a wall and an observer is stationary between the source and the wall. When the observer is between the source and the wall he will hear beats.

Answer» If the sound reaches the observes after being reflected from a stationary surface and the medium is also stationary, the image of the source will become the source of reflected sound. Thus, in both cases, on sound coming directly form the source and the other coming after reflection will have the same frequency (since velocity source w.r.t. observer is same in both the cases). Therefore, no beats will be heard.

In the experiment for the determination of the speed of sound in air using the resonance column method, the length of the air column that resonates in the fundamental mode, with a tuning fork is `0.1m`. When this length is changed to `0.35m`, the same tuning fork resonates with the first overtone. Calculate the end correction.A. `0.05 m`B. `0.012 m`C. `0.018 m`D. `0.025 m`

Answer» Correct Answer - D
Given :
Initial length of air-column `(l_(1)) = 0.1 m` and final length of air-column `(l_(2)) = 0.35 m`. We know that frequnency of fundamental mode
`(v_(1)) = (v)/(4(l_(1) + e)) = (v)/(40(0.1+e)) "….."(i)`
Similarly, frequency of first overtone
`(v_(2)) = (3v)/(4(l_(2) + e)) = (3v)/(4(0.35 +e)) "....."(ii)`
Since these frequencies are equal, therefore
`(v)/(4(0.1+e)) = (3v)/(4(0.35)+e)`
or `0.35 + e = 0.3 + 3e`
or `2e = 0.35 - 0.3 = 0.05`
or `e = 0.025 m`
(Where `e=` End correction of air column)

Answer» Correct Answer - B
The amplitude, `A = 0.06 m`
`5/(2) lambda = 0.2 m`
`:. lambda = 0.08 m`
`:. F = (v)/(lambda) = (300)/(0.08) = 3750 Hz`
`k = (2pi)/(lambda) = 78.5 m^(-1)` and `omega = 2 pi f = 23562 "rad"//s`
At `t = 0 , x = 0, (dy)/(dx) = "positive"`
and the given curve is a since curve.
Hence, equation of wave travelling in positive x-direction should have the form,
`y (x,t) = A sin (kx - omegat)`
Substituting the values, we have
`y = (0.06m) sin [(78.5 m^(-1)) xx - (23562 s^(-1))t]m`

Derive the expression for the particle displacement of a plane progressive harmonic wave. Prove that particle velocity is a head of particle displacement in phase by

Answer»

Consider a waves moves along the positive direction of x with a velocity v. Let the displacement at any instant at time t at x = 0 is

y = a sin ωt

Here, v to be the wave velocity. We have form for λ displacement phase change is 2π so for x displacement the phase change Q = \(\frac {2π}λ\)x so we get 

y = a sin (ωt - Q)

y = a sin (ωt - \(\frac {2π}λ\)x)

y = t (vt - x)

y = a sin \(\frac {2π}λ\) (vt - x)
