Take two conical flasks. Paint the outer surface of one with black paint and the other, with white paint. Fill both of them with water and expose them to direct sunlight for the same period of time. Which one gets heated first? What may be the reason?

Answer»

The conical flask which is painted black seems to be more hot when kept under the sun for an hour because the black body absorbs more heat and do not let it out from it. It is the property of black body to absorb heat and there is no chance of heat to escape.

Complete the reaction : n + 92U235 → 56Ba144 + .... + 3n

Answer»

n + 92U235 → 56Ba144 + .... + 3n

From conservation of mass,

144 + A + 3 = 235 + 1 

A = 89 

From conservation of charge, 

56 + Z + 0 = 92 + 0 

∴ Z = 36 

Element with Z = 36 is krypton.

Answer the following questions according to the text.Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s world was a world of music from the moment he was born. His father, who was a fine musician, was teaching his daughter to play the piano. Little Wolfgang used to listen to his sister as she practiced. He quickly learned the pieces she played. One day he said he wanted to play too. But he was only three years old then, and his father thought that his hands were too small.

Assertion (A) : Magnetic field lines cannot start from a point nor end at a point. Reason (R) : The line integral of magnetic field induction over a closed path is not zero.(a) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A (b) Both A and R are true but R is NOT the correct explanation of A (c) A is true but R is false (d) A is false and R is also false

Answer»

Option : (C) 

The magnetic lines of force form a closed path, hence the line integral of \(\vec B\) over the closed path is zero. 

Thus, 

Assertion is true and Reason is false.

Assertion (A) : In optical fibre, the diameter of the core is kept small Reason (R) : The small diameter of the core ensures that the fibre should have inside it an angle greater than critical angle needed for total internal reflection(a) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A (b) Both A and R are true but R is NOT the correct explanation of A (c) A is true but R is false (d) A is false and R is also false

Answer»

Option : (A)

Both, the Assertion and Reason are two and later explains the former correctly. 

Total internal reflection of light takes place if angle of incidence is greater than critical angle. 

So, small diameter ensures that incident light falls at an angle greater than critical angle.

Explain Predation?

Answer»
  • Predation is a type of interaction in which a larger organism called predator of higher trophic level seeds on another called prey of lower trophic level. 
  • In this type of interaction, one of the partner’s (predator) is benefitted while the prey is harmed. 

Role played by predators : 

  • They act as links for energy transfer across trophical levels. 
  • They keep prey populations under control. 

Defences developed by animals preys against predators : 

  • Some show cryptic colouration to avoid being detected easily by the predator. 
  • Some are poisonous and some are highly distantefal and therefore are avoided by the predators. 

Defences developed by plant preys against predators : 

  • Thorns (Acacia, cactus) are morphological means of defence. 
  • Many plants produce and store chemicals like nicotine, caffeine, quinine, strychnine, opium etc., that make the herbivore sick when they are eaten, inhibit feeding or digestion, disrupt its reproduction of even kill it.

A particle is subjected to two simple harmonic motions along x and y directions according to `x=3sin100pit`, `y=4sin100pit`.A. Motion of particle will be on ellipse traversing it in clockwise direction.B. Motion of particle will on a straight line with slope `4//3`C. Motion will be a simple harmonic motion along x-axis with amplitude 5.D. Phase difference between two motions is `pi//2`

Answer» Correct Answer - B
`x = 3 sin 100 pi t`
`y = 4 sin 100 pi t`
Equation of path is
`(y)/(x) = (4)/(3)` i.e. `y = (4)/(3) x`
which is equation of a straight line having slope `(4)/(3)`
Equation of resulting motion is `vec(r) = x hat(i) + y hat (j)`

A solenoid with N loops of wire tightly wrapped around an iron-core is carrying an electric current I. If the current through this solenoid is reduced to half, then what change would you expect in inductance L of the solenoid.

Answer»

Given: I' = \(\frac{I}{2}\)

Inductance, L  = μo \(\frac{N^2}{e}\).A

l : length of solenoid

N: number of lines

A: area of cross- section of solenoid

Since, 'I' is independent of current, so there is no change in the inductance of the solenoid.

Remains same.

An alternating current from a source is given by i=10sin314t. What is the effective value of current and frequency of source?

Answer»

Given: i = 10sin314t

comparing with, i = iosinωt

io = 10A

ω = 314 \(\Rightarrow\) \(2\pi v\) = 314 \(\Rightarrow\) 

v = \(\frac{314}{2\pi}\)

\(\frac{314}{2\times3.14}\)

= 50Hz

How do fossil fuels cause air pollution?

Answer»

The fossil fuels like coal and petroleum contain small amounts of nitrogen and sulphur. When fossil fuels are burnt, it produces oxides of nitrogen and sulphur. These gases cause inhalation problems and in presence of rain forms acid rain. Burning of fossil fuels also increases the amount of suspended particles in air that reduce the visibility.

The quantity which does not vary periodically for a particle performing SHM isA. accelerationB. total energyC. displacementD. velocity

Answer» Correct Answer - B
For a particle executing simple harmonic motion (SHM),
Total energy = kinetic energy + potential energy
`=E_(K)+E_(P)=1/2mv^(2)+1/2kx^(2)`
`=1/m(A^(2)-x^(2))+1/2momega^(2)A^(2)`
`(becausev=sqrt(A^(2)-x^(2))` where, A is the amplitude of the particle`)`
`=1/2KA^(2)`
It is independent oft, xis remains constant i.e., it does not vary periodically.
However, the displacement of a particle executing SHM along x-axis is given by
`x=Asin(omegat+phi)`
(where, A= amplitude, `omega` = angular velocity t = time, `phi` = initial phase of the particle)
i.e., displacement varies periodically with time t.
Velocity of particles executing SHM,
`v=(dx)/(dt)=omegasqrt(A^(2)-x^(2))`
which varies with x.
Acceleration of the particle,
`a=(dv)/(dt)=-omega^(2)x`
Which also varies with x.

Mrs. Sharma bought 7.35 m of fabric for her elder daughter, 6.75 m for the younger daughter, 8.57 m for her husband, and 7.83 m for herself. How much dress material (in m) did she bought in total?1. 29.72. 30.53. 274. 32.5

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 2 : 30.5

Given:

Mrs. Sharma bought fabric for her elder daughter = 7.35 m

Mrs. Sharma bought fabric for her younger daughter = 6.75 m

Mrs. Sharma bought fabric for her husband  = 8.57 m

Mrs. Sharma bought fabric for herself = 7.83 m

Concept Used:

Total fabric bought is the sum of all members fabrics

Formula used:

Total  = a + b + c + d

Calculations:

Total fabric brought by Mrs. Sharma = 7.35 + 6.75 + 8.57 + 7.83

⇒ 30.5

∴ The total fabric brought by Mrs. Sharma is 30.5
