Musical instruments playing the same note can be distinguished from one another owing to the difference in their

Antwortdetails

Different musical instruments playing the same note can be distinguished from one another due to the difference in their "timbre" or "tone color." Timbre refers to the unique character or quality of a sound that allows us to distinguish it from other sounds even when they have the same pitch and loudness. For example, a piano and a guitar playing the same note will sound different due to the differences in their timbre. This is why we can tell the difference between different instruments and why some instruments are better suited to certain styles of music than others.

What type of reaction is represented by the following scheme?

${}_1^{2}X$ + ${}_1^{2}Y$  -----> ${}_2^{3}Z$ + ${}_1^{0}n$ + energy

Antwortdetails

The type of reaction represented by the given scheme is a nuclear fission reaction. Nuclear fission is a process where a heavy nucleus is split into smaller nuclei with the release of energy. In the given scheme, a heavy element X is split into two lighter elements, Y and Z, along with the release of energy and some neutrons (n). In a nuclear fission reaction, a neutron is usually absorbed by the nucleus of the heavy element, which then becomes unstable and splits into two smaller nuclei and some neutrons. These neutrons can then go on to split other heavy nuclei, resulting in a chain reaction. In the given scheme, the release of energy and the presence of neutrons suggest that it is a fission reaction. Moreover, the scheme depicts the process of splitting a heavy element into two lighter elements, which is a characteristic of a fission reaction. Therefore, the type of reaction represented by the given scheme is a nuclear fission reaction.

Shadows and eclipses result from the

Antwortdetails

The rectilinear propagation of light means that light travels in straight lines as a wave. This can be observed in the well-defined shadows formed when an object blocks a light source and through the use of a pinhole camera.
According to Sudipa Sarkar, the formation of shadows with sharp edges demonstrates the rectilinear propagation of light, i.e. The fact that light travels in straight line. When an opaque obstacle is placed between a source of light and a screen, a shadow of the obstacle is formed on the screen. The kind of shadow depends on the size of the source of light. If it is a point source (light from a small hole), the shadow obtained is a region of total darkness, called umbra.
If an extended source of light, e.g. a bulb, is used, the umbra is surrounded by a region of partial darkness, called penumbra. The moon is seen because it reflects the sun's light. An eclipse of the moon (lunar eclipse) occurs when the earth comes between the sun and the moon and prevents some of the light from the sun from reaching the moon. In other words, the earth casts its shadow on the moon. The solar eclipse occurs when the moon comes between the sun and the earth.

Temperature is the property of a body which is proportional to the ____.

Antwortdetails

Temperature is proportional to the average kinetic energy of the molecules in a body. This means that as the average kinetic energy of the molecules increases, so does the temperature. Think about it like this: the hotter an object, the more energy its molecules have. This energy is what makes the molecules move faster, and therefore, the temperature of the object increases. The average kinetic energy of the molecules is a better measure of temperature than the maximum speed of the molecules because temperature is a measure of the overall energy distribution, not just the energy of a single molecule.

A 20kg mass is to be pulled up a slope inclined at 300 to the horizontal. If efficiency of the plane is 75%. The force required to pull the load up the plane is J [g=10ms${}^{-2}$]

Antwortdetails

The force required to pull a 20kg mass up a slope inclined at 300 can be calculated using the formula: force = mass * gravity * sin(angle) where mass is 20kg, gravity is 10 m/s^2 and angle is 300. The formula for efficiency is: efficiency = output force / input force where output force is the force required to pull the mass up the slope and input force is the force applied to the rope. Since the efficiency of the plane is 75%, the input force is 4 times the output force. So, the output force can be calculated as: output force = input force / 4 input force = mass * gravity * sin(angle) / efficiency input force = 20 * 10 * sin(300) / 0.75 input force = 533.2 N And the output force can be calculated as: output force = input force / 4 output force = 533.2 / 4 output force = 133.3 N So, the force required to pull the load up the plane is 133.3 N.

The tendency of a body to remain at rest when a force is applied to it is called.

Antwortdetails

The tendency of a body to remain at rest or to continue moving with a constant velocity (in a straight line at a constant speed) when no force is acting on it is called inertia. Inertia is a property of matter, and the amount of inertia depends on the mass of an object. Inertia can also be thought of as a resistance to changes in motion, meaning that an object at rest will tend to stay at rest, and an object in motion will tend to stay in motion unless acted upon by an external force. This property of inertia is what makes it difficult to start, stop, or change the direction of motion of an object. The force required to overcome the inertia of an object depends on the mass of the object and the magnitude of the acceleration desired. Therefore, the greater the mass of an object, the greater its inertia, and the more force required to change its motion.

For what values of F and ? will the forces shown in the diagram below be in equilibrium.

A ball of mass 5.0kg hits a smooth vertical wall normally with a speed of 2ms${}^{?1}$. Determine the magnitude of the resulting impulse

Antwortdetails

The magnitude of the resulting impulse can be calculated using the formula impulse = change in momentum. In this scenario, the ball experiences a change in velocity (speed) as it hits the wall. The ball's initial momentum is equal to its mass times its velocity, and its final momentum is zero since it comes to a stop after hitting the wall. The change in momentum is equal to the final momentum minus the initial momentum, which is equal to the negative of the initial momentum. Since the ball has a mass of 5.0 kg and a velocity of 2 m/s, its initial momentum is 5.0 kg * 2 m/s = 10.0 kg m/s. Therefore, the change in momentum is -10.0 kg m/s and the magnitude of the resulting impulse is 10.0 kg m/s, which is equal to 10.0 Ns. So, the correct answer is 10.0kgms−1.

When a known standard resistor of 2.0 is connected to the 0.0cm end of a meter bridge, the balance point is found to be at 55.0cm. What is the value of the unknown resistor?

Antwortdetails

A meter bridge is an instrument used to measure the unknown resistance of a conductor. The meter bridge consists of a long resistance wire AB of uniform cross-sectional area and a battery of known voltage connected across its ends. A galvanometer is connected across a point C on the wire, which is called the null point or balance point.
When a known standard resistor of 2.0 ohms is connected to the 0.0cm end of the meter bridge wire, the balance point is found to be at 55.0cm. This means that the resistance of the unknown resistor is equal to the resistance of a portion of the meter bridge wire between the 0.0cm and the 55.0cm point.
To find the value of the unknown resistor, we can use the principle of the Wheatstone bridge, which states that the ratio of the resistances in the two arms of a balanced bridge is equal.
Let R be the resistance of the unknown resistor, then we have:
R/2.0 = (100 - 55.0)/55.0
Simplifying this expression, we get:
R = 2.0 x (100 - 55.0)/55.0
R = 1.64 ohms
Therefore, the value of the unknown resistor is 1.64 ohms.

A particle of mass M initially at rest splits into two. If one of the particles of mass M1 moves with velocity V1 , the second particle moves with velocity

Antwortdetails

When a particle of mass M splits into two, the total mass is conserved, and so the sum of the masses of the two resulting particles must be equal to M. If one of the particles of mass M1 moves with velocity V1, we can use the law of conservation of momentum to determine the velocity of the second particle. The law of conservation of momentum states that the total momentum of a system of particles remains constant if no external forces act on the system. In this case, the initial momentum of the system is zero, since the particle was initially at rest. After the particle splits, the momentum of the system is the sum of the momenta of the two resulting particles. Let's use the subscript 1 to represent the first particle of mass M1 and the subscript 2 to represent the second particle of mass M-M1. By conservation of momentum, we have: 0 = M1*V1 + (M - M1)*V2 Solving for V2, we get: V2 = -M1/M*(V1) Therefore, the second particle moves in the opposite direction with velocity -M1/M*(V1). This means that the two particles move in opposite directions, with the ratio of their velocities determined by the ratio of their masses. Option (D) in the table shows the correct answer, which is -M1/M*(V1).

A boy receives the echo of his clap reflected by a nearby hill 0.8s later. If the speed of sound in air is 3.40ms${}^{-}1$, how far is he from the hill?

Antwortdetails

The speed of sound in air is given as 3.40 m/s. The echo of the clap is heard 0.8 seconds after it was produced, which means it traveled to the hill and back. The time taken for sound to travel to the hill is half of the time taken for it to travel to and from the hill. Therefore, the time taken for sound to travel to the hill is 0.8/2 = 0.4 seconds. We can use the formula: distance = speed x time to calculate the distance between the boy and the hill. distance = speed of sound x time taken for sound to travel to the hill distance = 3.40 m/s x 0.4 s distance = 1.36 m Therefore, the distance between the boy and the hill is 1.36 meters. However, the answer options provided are in meters and are significantly larger than 1.36 meters. It is possible that the speed of sound provided in the question is incorrect or the answer options are incorrect.

The process whereby a liquid turns spontaneously into vapour is called

Antwortdetails

The process whereby a liquid turns spontaneously into vapor is called evaporation. Evaporation is the process by which a liquid changes into a gas at a temperature below its boiling point. This happens when the molecules of the liquid gain enough energy to escape from the surface of the liquid into the air as a gas. The rate of evaporation depends on factors such as the temperature, the humidity of the air, and the surface area of the liquid. For example, a shallow pool of water will evaporate faster than a deep one because it has a larger surface area. Boiling, on the other hand, is the process by which a liquid changes into a gas at its boiling point. This happens when the pressure of the gas generated by the boiling liquid is equal to the atmospheric pressure. The temperature remains constant during boiling. Regelation and sublimation are different processes altogether. Regelation is the process by which a solid changes into a liquid when it is subjected to pressure. Sublimation is the process by which a solid changes directly into a gas, bypassing the liquid state.

The inner diameter of a small test tube can be measured accurately using a

Antwortdetails

A vernier caliper is a measuring device used to precisely measure linear dimensions. It is a very useful tool to use when measuring the diameter of a round objects like cylinders because the measuring jaws can be secured on either side of the circumference.
Vernier calipers have both a fixed main scale and a moving vernier scale. The main scale is graduated in either millimetres or tenths of an inch. The vernier scale allows much more precise readings to be taken (usually to the nearest 0.02mm or 0.001 inch) in comparison to a standard ruler (which only measures to th nearest 1mm or 0.25 inch).
The vernier scale was invented by French mathematician Pierre Vernier in 1631. As part of the vernier caliper, it is used together with the main scale, and helps to provide very precise measurements. Vernier calipers usually show either imperial or metric measurements, but some measure in both.

An object moves in a circular path of radius 0.5m with a speed of 1ms${}^{-1}$. What is its angular velocity?

Antwortdetails

Angular velocity is a measure of how fast an object is rotating around a center point. It's usually measured in radians per second (rad/s). To calculate angular velocity, we use the formula: angular velocity = linear velocity / radius. In this case, the linear velocity is 1 m/s, and the radius is 0.5 m. So, the angular velocity would be: 1 m/s / 0.5 m = 2 rad/s Therefore, the answer is 2 rad/s or 2rads^-1

Which of the following is not a product of nuclear fusion?

Antwortdetails

Neutron is not a product of nuclear fusion. Nuclear fusion is the process by which two or more atomic nuclei come together to form a heavier nucleus, releasing a large amount of energy in the process. In most fusion reactions, the resulting products are alpha particles (helium nuclei) and energy in the form of gamma rays. X-rays and gamma rays are both forms of high-energy electromagnetic radiation that can be produced by nuclear reactions, including nuclear fusion. Alpha particles are also a common product of nuclear fusion, especially in the fusion reactions that power the sun. However, neutrons are not typically produced in fusion reactions. In fact, one of the major challenges in developing fusion as a practical energy source is finding ways to produce and control the high-energy neutrons that are generated in the process. Neutrons can be produced in some types of fusion reactions, but they are not a primary product. In summary, neutron is not a product of nuclear fusion, while X-rays, Y-rays (assuming this is a valid form of radiation), and alpha particles are common products of this process.

The time rate of loss of heat by a body is proportional to the

Antwortdetails

The correct answer is "difference in temperature between the body and its surroundings." When a body is at a higher temperature than its surroundings, it will lose heat to the surroundings until it reaches thermal equilibrium, i.e., until the temperatures of the body and its surroundings are equal. The rate at which the body loses heat is proportional to the temperature difference between the body and its surroundings. This is known as Newton's law of cooling. The law of cooling applies to a wide range of situations, from the cooling of hot beverages to the cooling of electronic devices. It is important to understand this law because it allows us to predict how long it will take for a body to cool down to a certain temperature, and to design systems that can regulate the temperature of a body, such as heaters or refrigerators.

Which of the following obeys Ohm's law?

Antwortdetails

Ohm's law states that the current passing through a conductor is directly proportional to the voltage applied across it, given the temperature and other physical conditions remain constant. Among the given options, only "all metals" obey Ohm's law. This is because metals have a linear relationship between their resistance and the applied voltage, meaning that the resistance of a metal remains constant regardless of the voltage applied. As a result, the current passing through a metal is directly proportional to the voltage applied, following Ohm's law. On the other hand, a diode, all electrolytes, and glass do not obey Ohm's law. A diode is a semiconductor that has a non-linear current-voltage relationship, and its resistance is not constant. Similarly, electrolytes and glass are non-metallic substances that do not have a linear relationship between their resistance and the applied voltage. Their resistance can change significantly with the voltage applied, and hence they do not follow Ohm's law.

Antwortdetails

The photocell works on the principle of the emission of electrons by incident radiation. In simple terms, a photocell is a device that converts light energy into electrical energy. It does this by using a material (such as silicon) that releases electrons when it is exposed to light. These electrons can then be collected and used to produce a current, which can be used to power an electrical device. The more light that hits the photocell, the more electrons are released and the greater the electrical current.

Convex mirrors are used as driving mirrors because images formed are

Antwortdetails

Convex mirrors are used as driving mirrors because the images formed by them are "erect, virtual, and diminished." Let me explain what these terms mean: - Erect: It means that the image appears upright, just like the actual object. This is important for a driving mirror because it allows the driver to perceive the correct orientation of the vehicles behind them. - Virtual: It means that the image appears to be behind the mirror, and not in front of it. This is also important for a driving mirror because it allows the driver to see a wider field of view without having to turn their head. - Diminished: It means that the image is smaller than the actual object. This is important for a driving mirror because it allows the driver to see a larger area behind them while still fitting it within the mirror's frame. Overall, these properties make convex mirrors ideal for use as driving mirrors as they provide the driver with an accurate view of the vehicles behind them without sacrificing their field of view.

A narrow beam of white light can be split up into different colours by a glass prism. The correct explanation is that

Antwortdetails

The correct explanation for why a narrow beam of white light can be split up into different colors by a glass prism is that different colors of white light travel with different speeds in glass. White light is made up of different colors with different wavelengths, ranging from violet to red. When a narrow beam of white light passes through a glass prism, the different colors refract at slightly different angles due to the fact that their wavelengths are different. This causes the different colors to spread out and form a spectrum. The amount of refraction that occurs depends on the speed of light in the medium. Different colors of light have different speeds in glass due to the fact that their wavelengths are different. This means that they will refract at different angles as they pass through the glass prism, causing them to spread out. So, the correct explanation for why a narrow beam of white light can be split up into different colors by a glass prism is that different colors of white light travel with different speeds in glass. Therefore, is the correct explanation. is incorrect because it describes what white light is made up of, but does not explain how it is split up into colors by a prism. is incorrect because a prism does not have all the colors of white light, but rather it separates the colors that are already present in white light. is incorrect because total internal reflection occurs when light is completely reflected back into the same medium, which is not what happens when white light is split up by a prism.

Which of the following may be used to explain a mirage?

I. Layers of air near the road surface have varying refractive indices in hot weather

II. Road surfaces sometimes become good reflectors in hot weather

III. Light from the sky can be reflected upwards after coming close to the road surface.

Antwortdetails

The phenomenon of a mirage can be explained by options I and III. A mirage is an optical illusion that occurs when light rays passing through a medium with varying refractive indices create a false image of distant objects or even the sky. In hot weather, the air near the road surface becomes hotter and less dense than the air above, causing the light passing through it to bend and create a reflection of the sky or objects in the distance. This effect is known as a temperature inversion. Additionally, light from the sky can be reflected upwards after coming close to the road surface, adding to the illusion of a reflected object or the sky. Option II, which suggests that road surfaces become good reflectors in hot weather, is not a valid explanation for a mirage. Therefore, the correct answer is: I and III only.

When an atom loses or gain a charge it becomes

Antwortdetails

When an atom loses or gains a charge, it becomes an ion. An ion is a type of atom that has an unequal number of protons and electrons, giving it a net electrical charge. If an atom loses one or more electrons, it becomes positively charged and is called a cation. On the other hand, if an atom gains one or more electrons, it becomes negatively charged and is called an anion. So, in summary, an atom can lose or gain electrons to become an ion, which has a net electrical charge.

Which of the following best describes the energy changes which take place when a steam engine drives a generator which lights a lamp?

Antwortdetails

The energy changes that take place when a steam engine drives a generator which lights a lamp can be described as: Heat energy from burning fuel is used to create steam in the boiler of the steam engine. This steam is then used to drive the turbine, which generates kinetic energy as it spins. The kinetic energy is transferred to the generator, which converts it into electrical energy (electricity). The electricity then flows through the wires to the lamp, where it is converted back into light energy, which is what we see. Therefore, the correct option would be: Heat ----> Kinetic ----> Electricity ----> Light

Which of the following has the lowest internal resistance when new?

Antwortdetails

Among the given options, the Accumulator has the lowest internal resistance when new. Internal resistance is the resistance that a battery or cell provides to the flow of electric current within itself. Lower internal resistance means that the battery can supply more current to an external circuit without losing much of its own energy as heat. An Accumulator, also known as a rechargeable battery, is designed to be charged and discharged multiple times. It has a relatively low internal resistance when new, meaning it can provide a higher current than the other cells listed while wasting less energy internally as heat. A Leclanche cell and Daniell cell are primary cells, meaning they are designed to be used once and discarded. They have higher internal resistance compared to the accumulator, which limits their ability to supply high currents. A Torch battery, also known as a dry cell, is also a primary cell and has a higher internal resistance than the accumulator. It is commonly used in small electronic devices and has a longer shelf life than Leclanche and Daniell cells. In summary, an Accumulator has the lowest internal resistance when new, which makes it an ideal choice for applications requiring high current delivery such as electric vehicles, power tools, and renewable energy systems.

Antwortdetails

Electrical appliances in homes are normally earthed so that a person touching the appliances is safe from electric shock. Earthing provides a safety mechanism by connecting the metal case of an electrical appliance to the earth through a conductor. In the event of a fault in the appliance, such as a short circuit, the current will flow through the earth wire instead of the person's body, preventing electric shock. By connecting the metal case of an appliance to the earth, the potential difference (PD) between the appliance and the earth is reduced to zero, ensuring that the appliance is maintained at a lower PD than the earth. Therefore, "the appliances are maintained at a lower pd than the earth" is the correct answer.

One of the features of the fission process is that

Antwortdetails

The fission process refers to the splitting of an atomic nucleus into two or more smaller nuclei. One of the key features of the fission process is that it can lead to a chain reaction, where the neutrons released during fission can go on to trigger additional fission reactions. This chain reaction can produce a large amount of energy, as is the case in nuclear power plants and nuclear weapons. Another feature of the fission process is that it typically produces radioactive products. These products can remain radioactive for a long time, which is why there are concerns about the safe disposal of nuclear waste. Additionally, the fission process typically releases neutrons, which can go on to cause further fission reactions. This neutron release is an important aspect of the chain reaction mentioned earlier. Finally, the fission process is accompanied by a small loss of mass, which is converted into energy according to Einstein's famous equation E=mc². This loss of mass is what allows the large amount of energy to be released during a fission reaction.

Which of the following is true of an electrical charge?

Antwortdetails

The correct answer is option D: "All of the above." An electrical charge refers to the presence of an excess or deficit of electrons in an atom or molecule. In this context, positive charge means a deficit of electrons, whereas negative charge means an excess of electrons. Electric current refers to the flow of charged particles, typically electrons, through a conductor. Therefore, an electric current means the movement of electrons. In summary, all of the given options are true of an electrical charge, and they all relate to the behavior of electrons in an electrically charged system.

The critical angle for light travelling from a transparent medium to air s measured as 340. The refractive index of the medium is

Antwortdetails

The critical angle is the angle of incidence at which light is just able to pass through the interface between two media and not reflect back. When light travels from a medium with a higher refractive index to a medium with a lower refractive index, it slows down and bends towards the normal. If the angle of incidence is increased, the light will eventually reach a point where it will not be able to escape the higher index medium and will be totally reflected back. This is the critical angle. The formula for the critical angle can be expressed as follows: sin(θc) = n2/n1 Where θc is the critical angle, n1 is the refractive index of the first medium, and n2 is the refractive index of the second medium. In this case, the first medium is the transparent medium and the second medium is air, which has a refractive index of approximately 1. By substituting the value of sin(θc) with the value of 340, and n2 with 1, we can solve for n1. sin(340) = n1/1 n1 = 1/sin(340) The value of n1 calculated using this formula is approximately 1.79, which means that the refractive index of the transparent medium is 1.79.

Electrical power is transmitted at a high voltage rather than a low voltage because the amount of energy loss is due to

Antwortdetails

The primary reason that power is transmitted at high voltages is to increase efficiency. As electricity is transmitted over long distances, there are inherent energy losses along the way. High voltage transmission minimizes the amount of power lost as electricity flows from one location to the next. How? The higher the voltage, the lower the current. The lower the current, the lower the resistance losses in the conductors. And when resistance losses are low, energy losses are low also. Electrical engineers consider factors such as the power being transmitted and the distance required for transmission when determining the optimal transmission voltage

Antwortdetails

Which of the following is an essential physical property of the wires uses for making fuses ?

Antwortdetails

The essential physical property of the wire used for making fuses is low melting point. This means that the wire should have a low temperature at which it melts and breaks, interrupting the flow of electrical current. This is important in a fuse because when there is an overload of electrical current, the wire will melt, breaking the circuit and preventing damage to the electrical system. The other options, low density, low electrical resistivity, and hypothermal conductivity, are not as important for a fuse wire. Low density is the property of a material to be light, and it doesn't necessarily affect the performance of a fuse wire. Low electrical resistivity is the property of a material to have low resistance to the flow of electrical current, and it doesn't necessarily affect the performance of a fuse wire either. Hypothermal conductivity is the property of a material to conduct heat poorly, and it also doesn't necessarily affect the performance of a fuse wire.

Which of the following does NOT describe the Image formed by a plane minor?

Antwortdetails

The option that does NOT describe the image formed by a plane mirror is "Magnified". When an object is placed in front of a plane mirror, the image formed is: 1. Erect: The orientation of the object in the mirror is the same as the orientation of the object in real life. For example, if you raise your right hand in front of a plane mirror, the image in the mirror will also show your right hand raised. 2. Laterally inverted: The image formed in the mirror is flipped horizontally, which means that the left side of the object appears on the right side of the image and vice versa. For example, if you wear a shirt with the letter "H" on it and look at it in a plane mirror, the image will show the letter "H" flipped horizontally. 3. Same distance from the mirror as object: The image formed in the mirror is located behind the mirror at the same distance as the object is located in front of the mirror. For example, if you stand 1 meter away from a plane mirror, the image of yourself will also be located 1 meter away from the mirror, behind the mirror. 4. NOT magnified: The image formed in the plane mirror is of the same size as the object, which means that there is no magnification or reduction in the size of the image. For example, if you stand in front of a plane mirror with a height of 1 meter, the image of yourself in the mirror will also have a height of 1 meter. Therefore, the correct answer is "Magnified", as the image formed by a plane mirror is not magnified.

A car traveled at a uniform speed of 100km/h, spends 15m moving from point A to point B along its route. The distance between A and B is

Antwortdetails

To calculate the distance between point A and point B, we can use the formula: Distance = Speed x Time where the speed is given as 100 km/h and the time is given as 15 minutes, which we need to convert to hours. 1 hour = 60 minutes, so 15 minutes = 15/60 hours = 0.25 hours. Now, we can substitute these values into the formula: Distance = 100 km/h x 0.25 h = 25 km Therefore, the distance between point A and point B is 25 km. is the correct answer.
