6.

The size of the image, if an object of 2.5 m height is placed at a distance of 10 cm from a concave mirror is:(Take radius of curvature of concave mirror = 30 cm)

Answer»
Height of object = h = +2.5 m = 250 cm

Object distance = U = -10cm

R = -30 cm

Focal LENGTH = R/2 = -15 cm

Image distance = v = ?

Height of image = h' = ?

APPLYING MIRROR formula,

1/f = 1/v + 1/u

1/v = 1/f - 1/u
      =-1/15  + 1/10
     = -2+3/30
     =-1/30

v = -30 cm

We know that ,

MAGNIFICATION = m

m = -v/u
    = -(-30)/-10
   = -3

Also,

m = h'/h
-3 = h'/250
h' = -750 cm

Size of the image = h' = 750 cm 

The image is 750 cm or 7.5 metres high

A bullet of mass 10g travelling horizontally with a velocity of 150 m/s strikes a stationary wooden block and comes to rest in 0.03 sec. Calculate the distance of penetration of the bullet into the

Answer»

As the bullet with velocity 150 m/s COMES to REST in 0.03 seconds, its acceleration
a = v-u / t = 0 - 150 / 0.03 = -5000 m/s^2
Therefore, distance TRAVELLED in this time
S = ut + 1/2at^2 = 150*0.03 - (1/2*5000*0.0009) = 4.5 - 2.25 = 2.25 m

The distance of penetration of the bullet into the block is 2.25 m.

Please answer theese questions briefly ;1. If a pulse is generated in slinky of length 2m and it moves 4 times in slinky within a time span of 10s and what is the speed of this pulse is ?2.how many vibration will a turning fork of frequency 280 hertz will complete during the time sound trands forward in air by 18cm.Speed of sound in air be 336m/sec

Answer»

1) length of slinky = 2m
time taken by WAVE = 10 sec.
4 TIMES of slinky = 2*4 = 8m
speed = distance travelled by wave/time
         = 8/10
         = 0.8 m/sec.
2)  frequency = 280 sec^-1
it MEANS it will vibrate 280 times in a second
speed of sound in air = 336m/sec.
distance travelled BU sound in air = 18cm. = 0.18m.
time taken by sound = distance/speed
                              = 0.18/336
                              = 0.00053 sec.
tuning fork take 1SEC. to vibrate 280 times
so in 0.00053 second it will vibrate 0.00053*280 times = 0.15 times

27.

Why a prism can disperse white light but a glass slab cannot??

Answer» When light PASSES through a prism it undergoes deviation and refraction as there are many ways in which light can enter the prism.
This causes light to bend in different range and such ranges cause light to scatter into its component colors.

In case of glass SLAB light enter and exit in a single STRAIGHT line in TWO ways.
so there is no POSSIBILITY of light to undergo multiple refraction and so no dispersion takes place.
28.

Whatt is called as refraction?

Answer»

The direction of light propagation can be changed at the boundary of TWO media having DIFFERENT densities. This property is called REFRACTION

How to take reading of ammeter and voltmeter?how to find the least count in ammeter and voltmeter with example ?please answer fast............................

Answer»

When a current-carrying conductor is placed in a MAGNETIC field, the conductor experiences a force which acts to push the conductor out of the field. This is the principle of operation of an analogue ammeter and voltmeter
A light coil of wire supporting a pointer is placed between the poles of a permanent magnet. Whenever the coil rotates, the pointer sweeps across an appropriately-calibrated scale. When current flows through the coil, a torque acts to rotate the coil. However, the movement of the coil is restrained by a pair of hairsprings. When the torque due to the current is balanced by the restraining torque of the hairsprings, the coil stops rotating. Thus, the angle through which the coil rotates is proportional to the current FLOWING through it, and the instrument is calibrated such that the pointer directly indicates that value current on a curved scale.

Ammeters and voltmeters both work on the same principle. In the case of the voltmeter, the current which OPERATES the coil is proportional to the voltage appearing across the instrument. The difference between the two instruments is the WAY in which resistors are used, within the instruments, to make one suitable for measuring current and the other suitable for measuring voltage.

Ammeters must be connected in series with the circuit under test, whereas voltmeters must be connected in parallel with the circuit under test.

Digital ammeters and voltmeters work on a completely different principle, using an electronic 'gate' to switch on and to switch off a series of pulses. The time for which the gate is 'open' is a function of the value of the current or voltage being measured -e.g. the larger the current, the LONGER the gate is held open. These pulses are then counted and, in simple terms, the greater the number of pulses counted, the greater the current or voltage being measured. The output is then presented, directly in amperes or volts, on a LED or LCD screen.

a gun fires 216 bullets per minute.The mass of each bullet is 50g and velocity of each bullet is 1000m/s.Find the force required to hold the gun

Answer»

Mass of each BULLET (m) = 50g = 0.05kg
number of BULLETS per MINUTE (n) = 216
time(t) = 60s
velocity (v) = 1000 m/s
Let the force required to HOLD the gun = F

Force×time = momentum
⇒ F × t = n × mv
⇒ F × 60s = 216 × 0.05×1000
⇒ 60F = 10800
⇒F = 10800/60 = 180N

Force required to hold the gun is 180N.

Please show the working as well:(1) Radio Ceylon broadcasts at 25m. Find the frequency of the station.(2) A periodic longitudinal wave is sent on a slinky.The wave proceeds at the speed of 48m/s and each particle oscillates with the frequency of 12 Hz. Calculate the minimum separation between the positions, where the sliky is most compressed.

Answer»

In a regular wave :  speed of the wave = Frequency * WAVELENGTH

1)   
     Frequency = c / wavelength = 3 * 10⁸ / 25 = 1.20 * 10⁷  Hertz

2)
   the minimum separation = wavelength = 48 m/s  /  12 HZ  =  4 meters.

Explain why clip made of iron floats on water but an iron needle sinks?

Answer»

When a solid is PUT on the surface of water (or a LIQUID), the weight of water that is displaced (= volume of solid that is below water surface) is the buoyancy force ACTING upwards on the solid.

A needle MADE of iron has DENSITY higher than water.  It displaces as much water as its volume.  The weight of water so displaced is much less than weight of the needle.
A ship is made of iron as well as many other materials.  It contains a lot of free space filled with air (open).  It displaces a lot of water as its bottom is quite wide.  The weight of water so displaced is quite high and equal to the weight of water.  So  the ship floats on the surface.  The ship is manufactured to have such a base.
