What flows to the earth by connecting the conductor to the earth?
Antwortdetails
When a conductor is connected to the earth, electrons flow to the earth. Electrons are negatively charged particles that are present in all conductors. When a conductor is connected to the earth, it creates a path for electrons to flow from the conductor to the earth, which helps to balance the electric potential and prevent the buildup of electric charge. This flow of electrons is known as grounding and is an important safety measure in electrical systems.

Frage 5 Bericht
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.
Frage 6 Bericht
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.
Frage 7 Bericht
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.
Frage 8 Bericht
Water of mass 150g at 60o c is added to 300g of water at 20o c and the mixture is well stirred. Calculate the temperature of the mixture.(neglect heat losses to the surroundings)
Antwortdetails
To solve this problem, we can use the principle of conservation of energy, which states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transferred or converted from one form to another. In this case, the energy transferred is in the form of heat. We can use the formula: Q = m*c*(ΔT) where Q is the heat transferred, m is the mass of the water, c is the specific heat capacity of water, and ΔT is the change in temperature. First, we can calculate the heat transferred from the hot water to the cold water: Q1 = 150g * 4.18 J/(g°C) * (60°C - T) Q1 = 627 * (60 - T) where T is the temperature of the mixture. Next, we can calculate the heat transferred from the cold water to reach the final temperature of the mixture: Q2 = 300g * 4.18 J/(g°C) * (T - 20°C) Q2 = 1254 * (T - 20) Since the heat transferred between the two water samples must be equal, we can set Q1 equal to Q2 and solve for T: 627 * (60 - T) = 1254 * (T - 20) 37620 - 627T = 1254T - 25080 1881T = 62760 T = 33.4°C Therefore, the temperature of the mixture is approximately 33°C. Answer: 33°C
Frage 9 Bericht
The friction which exist between two layers of liquid in relative motion is called
Antwortdetails
The correct answer is "Viscosity". Viscosity is the property of a fluid that describes its resistance to flow. When two layers of liquid are in relative motion, the viscosity of the liquid causes friction between the layers. This friction creates a resistance to the movement of one layer past the other. The greater the viscosity of the liquid, the greater the friction and the more difficult it is for the layers to move past each other. This property is important in many industrial and natural processes, such as the flow of oil in pipelines or the movement of blood through the human body.
Frage 10 Bericht
If the fraction of the atoms of a radioactive material left after 120years is 164 , what is the half-life of the material? 164
Antwortdetails
The half-life of a radioactive material is the time it takes for half of the atoms in a sample to decay. The fraction of atoms left after a certain number of half-lives can be calculated using the formula: fraction left = (1/2)^(number of half-lives) Let's use this formula to solve the problem. We know that the fraction of atoms left after 120 years is 1/64, which means that: (1/2)^(number of half-lives) = 1/64 To solve for the number of half-lives, we can take the logarithm of both sides: log[(1/2)^(number of half-lives)] = log(1/64) Using the rule that log(a^b) = b*log(a), we can simplify the left side of the equation: number of half-lives * log(1/2) = log(1/64) Dividing both sides by log(1/2), we get: number of half-lives = log(1/64) / log(1/2) Using a calculator or the change of base formula, we can evaluate this expression: number of half-lives = 6 Therefore, the half-life of the material is 120/6 = 20 years.
Frage 11 Bericht
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.
Frage 12 Bericht
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.

Antwortdetails
(ii) Adhesion : The force of attraction between unlike molecules, i.e. between the molecules of different liquids or between the molecules of a liquid and those of a solid body when they are in contact with each other, is known as the force of adhesion. This force enables two different liquids to adhere to each other or a liquid to adhere to a solid body or surface.
Frage 15 Bericht
The energy needed to move a unit positive charge around a complete electric circuit is called the
Antwortdetails
The energy needed to move a unit positive charge around a complete electric circuit is called the "electromotive force", also known as "emf". This is because the emf is what drives the flow of electric charge, or current, around the circuit. Think of it like a battery in a flashlight. The battery provides the emf that drives the flow of electric current through the wires and the light bulb. Without the emf from the battery, the electric charges wouldn't be able to flow and the light wouldn't turn on. The other answer options, such as electric potential difference and electric energy, are related to the emf but don't specifically refer to the energy needed to move a unit positive charge around a circuit. Kinetic energy, on the other hand, is not related to the movement of electric charges around a circuit at all.

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.

Frage 20 Bericht
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
Frage 21 Bericht
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.

Antwortdetails
Cathode rays are streams of electrons. They were first discovered by scientists experimenting with vacuum tubes, and they observed that a glowing beam of particles traveled from the negatively charged electrode (the cathode) to the positively charged electrode (the anode). These particles were found to have a negative charge, which was later identified as electrons. Cathode rays played an important role in the development of electronics and the understanding of atomic structure.

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.
Frage 25 Bericht
The differences observed in solids, liquids and gases may be accounted for by
Antwortdetails
The differences observed in solids, liquids, and gases can be accounted for by the spacing and forces acting between the molecules. In a solid, the molecules are packed closely together, so they have a fixed shape and volume. The intermolecular forces are strong enough to keep the molecules in a fixed position relative to one another. In a liquid, the molecules are still close together, but they are free to move around each other. The intermolecular forces are weaker than in a solid, so the molecules can slide past one another, giving the liquid its ability to flow and take the shape of its container. In a gas, the molecules are widely spaced and are in constant motion. The intermolecular forces are very weak, so the molecules are free to move around and fill any available space. Gases have no fixed shape or volume. So, the differences observed in solids, liquids, and gases can be explained by the spacing and forces acting between the molecules. It's not about their relative masses, melting points, or the different molecules in each of them.
Frage 26 Bericht
A ball of mass 800g moving horizontally with a speed of 5m/s hits a vertical wall and rebounds with the same speed. The impulse experienced by the ball is?
Antwortdetails
The impulse experienced by the ball can be calculated using the principle of conservation of momentum, which states that the total momentum before the collision is equal to the total momentum after the collision. In this case, the momentum of the ball before the collision is: p1 = m * v1 where m is the mass of the ball and v1 is its velocity before the collision. Substituting the values given in the problem, we get: p1 = 0.8 kg * 5 m/s = 4 kg m/s After the collision, the ball rebounds with the same speed but in the opposite direction, so its velocity after the collision is: v2 = -5 m/s The momentum of the ball after the collision is: p2 = m * v2 Substituting the values, we get: p2 = 0.8 kg * (-5 m/s) = -4 kg m/s The negative sign indicates that the direction of the momentum is opposite to that before the collision. The change in momentum of the ball is given by: Δp = p2 - p1 Substituting the values, we get: Δp = (-4 kg m/s) - (4 kg m/s) = -8 kg m/s The negative sign indicates that the impulse experienced by the ball is in the opposite direction to its initial momentum, which is the direction of the wall. Therefore, the impulse experienced by the ball is 8 kg m/s. Therefore, the correct option is: 8kgm/s.
Frage 27 Bericht
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.
Frage 28 Bericht
An object is placed 20cm from a concave mirror of focal length 10cm. The linear magnification of the image produced is?
Antwortdetails
The linear magnification of an image is given by the formula: magnification = height of image / height of object = -v/u where v is the image distance, u is the object distance, and the negative sign indicates that the image is inverted. In this problem, the object is placed 20cm from a concave mirror of focal length 10cm. Since the object is placed beyond the focal point, the image will be real and inverted. Using the mirror formula 1/f = 1/v + 1/u, we can find the image distance v: 1/10 = 1/v + 1/20 Solving for v, we get: v = -20 cm Now, we can use the magnification formula to find the linear magnification: magnification = -v/u = -(-20)/20 = 1 Therefore, the linear magnification of the image produced is 1, which means the image is the same size as the object and is also inverted. The answer is: 1.

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.
Frage 31 Bericht
Mercury which is spilled onto a glass surface forms ball-like shapes because____.
Antwortdetails
In case of small drops of mercury, the gravitational potential energy is negligible in comparison to the potential energy due to surface tension.Consequently, to keep the drop in equilibrium, the mercury drop’s surface tends to contract so that its surface area will be the least for a sphere and the drops will be spherical.
But in the case of bigger drops of mercury, the potential energy due to gravity is predominant over the potential energy due to surface tension.Consequently, to keep equilibrium , the mercury drop tends to assume minimum potential energy as possible, the drop becomes oval in shape and lower center of gravity.

A 40W instrument has a resistance 90 Ohms. On what voltage should it be operated normally
Antwortdetails
To calculate the voltage needed for a 40W instrument with a resistance of 90 Ohms, we can use the formula: Voltage = √(Power x Resistance) Plugging in the given values, we get: Voltage = √(40W x 90Ω) Voltage = √(3600) Voltage = 60V Therefore, the instrument should be operated at 60V to generate 40W of power with a resistance of 90 Ohms. The correct answer is, 60V.
Frage 33 Bericht
The resistance of a 40W car head lamp, drawing current from a 12V battery is ____.
Antwortdetails
The resistance of a 40W car headlamp can be calculated using Ohm's Law, which states that the current (I) flowing through a conductor between two points is directly proportional to the voltage (V) across the two points, and inversely proportional to the resistance (R) of the conductor. The equation can be written as V = IR. Since the power (P) of the headlamp is given as 40W and the voltage is 12V, we can calculate the current using the equation P = IV. Substituting I = P/V, we get I = 40/12 = 3.33A. Finally, using Ohm's Law, we can calculate the resistance as R = V/I = 12/3.33 = 3.6Ω. So, the resistance of the 40W car headlamp, drawing current from a 12V battery, is 3.6Ω.

Frage 35 Bericht
The density of 400cm3 of palm oil was 0.9gcm-3 before frying. If the density of the oil was 0.6gcm-3 after frying, assuming no loss of oil due to spilling, its new volume was?
Antwortdetails
The density of a substance is defined as its mass per unit volume. Therefore, the mass of the palm oil before frying was: Mass = Density x Volume = 0.9 g/cm³ x 400 cm³ = 360 g After frying, the mass of the palm oil remains the same, but its density changes to 0.6 g/cm³. Therefore, the new volume of the palm oil can be calculated by rearranging the density formula: Volume = Mass / Density = 360 g / 0.6 g/cm³ = 600 cm³ So the new volume of the palm oil after frying is 600 cm³. is the correct answer.
Frage 36 Bericht
The amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of 10kg of Copper by 1K is its
Antwortdetails
The correct answer is "specific heat capacity." Specific heat capacity is a measure of how much heat energy is required to raise the temperature of a certain amount of a substance by 1 degree Celsius (or 1 Kelvin, which is the same size as 1 degree Celsius). In this case, we are dealing with 10kg of copper, so we need to know the specific heat capacity of copper. The specific heat capacity of copper is 0.385 J/g°C (joules per gram per degree Celsius). To calculate the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of 10kg of copper by 1K, we need to know the total mass of copper (10kg) and the specific heat capacity of copper (0.385 J/g°C). The formula for calculating the amount of heat energy required is: Heat energy = mass x specific heat capacity x change in temperature Since we want to raise the temperature by 1K, the change in temperature is 1K. So, the amount of heat energy required to raise the temperature of 10kg of copper by 1K is: Heat energy = 10kg x 0.385 J/g°C x 1K = 3.85 kJ Therefore, it takes 3.85 kilojoules (kJ) of heat energy to raise the temperature of 10kg of copper by 1K.
Frage 37 Bericht
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.
Frage 38 Bericht
The product of force and time is?
Antwortdetails
The product of force and time is known as impulse. Impulse can be defined as the change in momentum that an object experiences as a result of a force being applied to it over a period of time. In simpler terms, impulse is the "push" that an object receives from a force acting on it for a certain amount of time. The more force applied, or the longer the time the force is applied, the greater the impulse and the greater the change in momentum of the object. It's important to note that impulse is a vector quantity, meaning it has both magnitude and direction. Impulse is a measure of the ability of a force to cause an object to change its velocity, and can be used to explain many phenomena in physics, such as why a heavy object is harder to stop than a lighter one, or why a soccer ball changes direction when it is kicked.
Frage 39 Bericht
A force of 5N acts at a point Y on a rod XYZ as shown in this diagram. If XYZ is 2m, what is the moment of the force about point X?
Antwortdetails
To find the moment of the force about point X, we need to first understand what moment is. Moment is the turning effect of a force around a pivot point. It is calculated by multiplying the force by the perpendicular distance between the pivot point and the line of action of the force. In this case, the force of 5N is acting on the rod at point Y. To find the moment of this force about point X, we need to find the perpendicular distance between point X and the line of action of the force. From the diagram, we can see that the perpendicular distance between point X and the line of action of the force is 2m (the length of the rod). So, the moment of the force about point X is: Moment = force x perpendicular distance = 5N x 2m = 10Nm Therefore, the correct answer is: 10Nm.
Frage 40 Bericht
Which of the following phenomena is the practical evidence for the existence of the continual motion of molecules.
Antwortdetails
Brownian motion is the practical evidence for the existence of the continual motion of molecules. This phenomenon is observed as the random movement of particles suspended in a fluid, such as a liquid or a gas, due to the constant bombardment of the fluid molecules. It was first described by the Scottish botanist Robert Brown in 1827 and provides strong evidence for the kinetic theory of matter, which states that all matter is made up of constantly moving particles. The random movement of the suspended particles can be observed through a microscope and is a direct result of the continual motion of the fluid molecules.
