Detalles de la respuesta
The electrical energy supplied by a Leclanche cell is obtained from the chemical energy stored within the cell. Specifically, it is a type of battery that converts chemical energy into electrical energy through a redox reaction. The Leclanche cell contains a zinc anode and a manganese dioxide cathode separated by a paste of ammonium chloride and manganese dioxide. When the cell is connected to a circuit, a chemical reaction takes place that causes electrons to flow through the circuit, generating an electric current. The chemical reaction within the cell continues until one or both of the electrodes are consumed, at which point the cell needs to be replaced or recharged.

A gas occupies a certain volume at 27°C. At what temperature will its volume be three times the original volume assuming that its pressure remains constant?
Detalles de la respuesta
The problem can be solved using Charles's law, which states that the volume of a gas at a constant pressure is directly proportional to its temperature in kelvins. Let the initial temperature of the gas be T1 = 27°C + 273.15 = 300.15 K, and let its initial volume be V1. According to the problem, when the volume is tripled, the new volume is V2 = 3V1. We want to find the new temperature T2. Using Charles's law, we can write: V1 / T1 = V2 / T2 Substituting the values: V1 / 300.15 = 3V1 / T2 Solving for T2: T2 = (3V1 x 300.15) / V1 = 900.45 K Converting back to Celsius: T2 = 900.45 - 273.15 = 627.3°C (approx) Therefore, the answer is 627°C.

A ball is dropped from a height of 45m above the ground. Calculate the velocity of the ball just before it strikes the ground. (Neglect air resistance and take g as \(10ms^{-2}\)
Detalles de la respuesta
The velocity of an object just before it strikes the ground can be found using the formula: v = \(\sqrt{2gh}\) where v is the velocity, g is the acceleration due to gravity, and h is the height from which the object was dropped. In this question, the height from which the ball was dropped is given as 45m, and the acceleration due to gravity is given as \(10ms^{-2}\). Substituting these values in the formula, we get: v = \(\sqrt{2 \times 10 \times 45}\) v = \(\sqrt{900}\) v = 30\(ms^{-1}\) Therefore, the velocity of the ball just before it strikes the ground is 30\(ms^{-1}\). So, the correct answer is the second option: 30\(ms^{-1}\).

A light wave travels from air into a medium of refractive index 1.54. If the wavelength of the light in air is \(5.9\times10^{-7}\)m, calculate its wavelength in the medium
Detalles de la respuesta
The relationship between the wavelength of light in two different media and their refractive indices is given by the formula: \begin{equation*} \frac{\lambda_1}{\lambda_2} = \frac{n_2}{n_1} \end{equation*} Where: \begin{itemize} \item \(\lambda_1\) is the wavelength of light in the first medium \item \(\lambda_2\) is the wavelength of light in the second medium \item \(n_1\) is the refractive index of the first medium \item \(n_2\) is the refractive index of the second medium \end{itemize} In this case, the light wave travels from air (first medium) into a medium of refractive index 1.54 (second medium). Therefore, we can use the above formula to find the wavelength of the light in the second medium: \begin{align*} \frac{\lambda_1}{\lambda_2} &= \frac{n_2}{n_1} \\ \lambda_2 &= \frac{n_1}{n_2} \lambda_1 \\ &= \frac{1}{1.54} \times 5.9 \times 10^{-7} \mathrm{m} \\ &\approx 3.84 \times 10^{-7} \mathrm{m} \end{align*} Therefore, the wavelength of the light in the medium is approximately \(3.84\times10^{-7}\)m. Answer: \boxed{2}. \(3.8\times10^{-7}\)m.

In 24 days a radioactive isotope decreases in mass from 64g to 2g. What is the half life of the radioactive material
Detalles de la respuesta
The half-life of a radioactive substance is the time it takes for half of the initial mass of the substance to decay. Let's find the fraction of the initial mass remaining after 24 days: mass remaining/mass at start = (2g/64g) = 1/32 This means that after one half-life, the mass remaining would be half of the initial mass, or (1/2) x 64g = 32g. After two half-lives, the mass remaining would be half of 32g, or 16g. Similarly, after three half-lives, the mass remaining would be 8g, and after four half-lives, the mass remaining would be 4g. Since the mass remaining after 24 days is 1/32 of the initial mass, we know that the number of half-lives that have passed is 5, because 2 raised to the 5th power (2^5) is 32. Therefore, the half-life of the substance is 24 days / 5 = 4.8 days. So the correct option is (d) 4.80 days.

A tap supplies water at 30°C while another supplies at 86°C. If a man wishes to bath with water at 44°C, calculate the ratio of mass of hot water to that of cold water required
Detalles de la respuesta
The ratio of hot water to cold water can be calculated using the principle of mixture of substances. Let m1 be the mass of cold water required and m2 be the mass of hot water required. The specific heat capacity of water is 4200 J/kg K. The heat gained by cold water, Q1 = m1 x 4200 J/kg K x (44 - 30) K The heat gained by hot water, Q2 = m2 x 4200 J/kg K x (86 - 44) K As per the principle of mixture of substances, the total heat gained by cold water is equal to the total heat lost by hot water. Hence, Q1 = Q2 Therefore, m1 x 4200 J/kg K x (44 - 30) K = m2 x 4200 J/kg K x (86 - 44) K Simplifying this equation gives us: m2/m1 = (44 - 30)/(86 - 44) = 14/42 = 1/3 Therefore, the ratio of mass of hot water to that of cold water required is 1:3. Hence, the answer is (a) 1:3.

Detalles de la respuesta
The formula to use is: energy supplied = mass x specific heat capacity x temperature change First, let's calculate the energy required to heat the water: energy = 2kg x 4200\(kg^{-1}K^{-1}\) x (100°C - 50°C) energy = 420000 J Now, we can calculate the power of the electric kettle: power = voltage x current power = 210V x 5A power = 1050W The time taken to heat the water can be calculated using the formula: time = energy / power Substituting the values we have: time = 420000 J / 1050W time = 400 seconds Converting seconds to minutes: time = 400 seconds ÷ 60 seconds/minute time = 6.7 minutes Therefore, the time taken to heat 2kg of water from 50°C to 100°C in an electric kettle taking 5A, from a 210V supply is 6.7 minutes.

\(500cm^{-3}\) of a gas is collected at 0°C and at a pressure of 72cm of mercury. What is the volume of the the gas at the same temperature and at a pressure of 76cm of the same mercury?
Detalles de la respuesta
The relationship between the pressure and volume of a gas is given by the Boyle's Law, which states that at constant temperature, the pressure and volume of a gas are inversely proportional to each other. This means that if the pressure of a gas increases, its volume decreases and vice versa. Using the Boyle's Law, we can solve the problem as follows: Let V be the volume of the gas at a pressure of 76 cm of mercury. Using Boyle's Law, we have: P₁V₁ = P₂V₂ where P₁ and V₁ are the initial pressure and volume of the gas, respectively, and P₂ and V₂ are the final pressure and volume of the gas, respectively. Substituting the given values, we get: (72 cm)(500 cm³) = (76 cm)(V₂) Solving for V₂, we have: V₂ = (72 cm)(500 cm³) / (76 cm) V₂ = 459.21 cm³ (rounded to two decimal places) Therefore, the volume of the gas at the same temperature and at a pressure of 76 cm of the same mercury is approximately 459.21 cm³. Answer: \(\frac{72\times500}{76}cm^3\)

Which of the following are transverse waves? I. Ripples on water II. Sound waves in air III. Light waves from the sun
Detalles de la respuesta
Ripples on water and light waves from the sun are transverse waves. Transverse waves are characterized by their perpendicular motion to the direction of wave propagation. Ripples on water move up and down perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation. Similarly, light waves consist of electric and magnetic fields that oscillate perpendicular to the direction of the wave. Sound waves in air, on the other hand, are longitudinal waves. In longitudinal waves, the particles of the medium oscillate in the same direction as the wave propagation. In the case of sound waves in air, air particles vibrate back and forth in the same direction that the sound wave is traveling. Therefore, the answer is (B) I and II only.

A battery of e.m.f 10V an internal resistance 2Ω is connected to a resistance of 6Ω. Calculate the p.d
Detalles de la respuesta
The potential difference (p.d) across a resistor in a circuit can be calculated using Ohm's law which states that the p.d is equal to the product of the current flowing through the resistor and the resistance of the resistor. In this circuit, the battery has an e.m.f of 10V and an internal resistance of 2Ω. Therefore, the p.d across the battery terminals is 10V. Since the resistor of 6Ω is connected in the same series with the battery, the current flowing in the circuit will cause a voltage drop across the internal resistance of the battery. This means that the p.d across the resistor will be less than the 10V. The current flowing in the circuit can be calculated using the formula I = E/(R + r), where E is the e.m.f of the battery, R is the resistance of the external resistor, and r is the internal resistance of the battery. Substituting the given values, we get: I = 10V/(6Ω + 2Ω) = 1.25A The p.d across the resistor can then be calculated using Ohm's law: p.d = IR = 1.25A x 6Ω = 7.5V Therefore, the answer is 7.50V.

The ice and steam points on a mercury in glass thermometer are found to be 90mm apart. What temperature is recorded in degree Celsius when the length of the mercury thread is 33.6mm above the ice point mark?
Detalles de la respuesta
We are given that the ice and steam points on the thermometer are 90mm apart. This means that the thermometer has been calibrated to give readings between the ice point (0°C) and the steam point (100°C) when it is used. The length of the mercury thread above the ice point mark is given to be 33.6mm. We can find the corresponding temperature using proportionality. Let x be the temperature in °C corresponding to the length of the mercury thread above the ice point mark. Then, we have: 90 mm = 100°C - 0°C 33.6 mm = x°C - 0°C Using proportionality, we can write: (33.6 mm) / (90 mm) = (x°C - 0°C) / (100°C - 0°C) Simplifying, we get: x/100 = 0.373 x = 37.3°C Therefore, the temperature recorded in °C when the length of the mercury thread is 33.6mm above the ice point mark is 37.3°C. So, the correct option is (c) 37.3°C.

Detalles de la respuesta
The relationship between pressure, volume, and temperature of a gas is given by the ideal gas law: PV = nRT, where P is the pressure, V is the volume, n is the number of moles of gas, R is the universal gas constant, and T is the temperature in Kelvin. Assuming that the volume of the tire remains constant and no air leaks out, we can use the ideal gas law to calculate the new pressure of the air in the tire when the temperature increases from 27°C to 47°C. First, we need to convert the temperatures from Celsius to Kelvin by adding 273 to each temperature: Initial temperature, T1 = 27°C + 273 = 300K Final temperature, T2 = 47°C + 273 = 320K Next, we can set up the following equation using the ideal gas law: P1V = nRT1 Since the volume and the number of moles of air remain constant, we can rearrange this equation to solve for the initial pressure, P1: P1 = (nR / V) * T1 Similarly, we can use the ideal gas law to calculate the final pressure, P2: P2V = nRT2 P2 = (nR / V) * T2 Since the volume and the number of moles of air remain constant, we can simplify this equation to: P2 = P1 * (T2 / T1) Substituting the values we know: P1 = 22.5 Nm^(-2) T1 = 300 K T2 = 320 K P2 = 22.5 * (320 / 300) = 24 Nm^(-2) Therefore, the new pressure of the air in the tire is 24 Nm^(-2) when the temperature increases from 27°C to 47°C. Therefore, the correct option is: - \(24Nm^{-2}\)

Which of the following is not a part of an A.C generator?
Detalles de la respuesta
The correct option is (c) Commutator. An AC generator (also called an alternator) is a device that converts mechanical energy into electrical energy. It works on the principle of electromagnetic induction. An AC generator consists of two main parts: a stationary part and a rotating part. The stationary part contains the field magnet, and the rotating part contains the armature. The field magnet is a permanent magnet or an electromagnet that produces a magnetic field. The armature is a coil of wire that is rotated inside the magnetic field. When the armature rotates, the magnetic field induces an alternating current (AC) in the coil. The carbon brushes and slip rings are parts of a DC generator, not an AC generator. Carbon brushes are used to transfer the current from the stationary part to the rotating part, while slip rings are used to connect the rotating part to an external circuit. The commutator is also a part of a DC generator, not an AC generator. It is a device that helps to convert the alternating current produced in the armature into direct current (DC) that can be used in an external circuit. Since AC generators produce alternating current, they do not need a commutator to convert the current. Therefore, the correct answer is (c) Commutator.

Thus, for 1kWh of energy consumed by the lamp, the cost is 2k, and for the energy consumed by the lamp (which is 1kWh), the cost is: Cost = 1 × 2 = 2k Therefore, the cost of lighting the lamp for 10 hours is 2k. Answer: 2k.

A cell of e.m.f. 1.5V and internal resistance of 2.5Ω is connected in series with an ammeter of resistance 0.5W and a resistor of resistance of 7.0Ω. Calculate the current in the circuit.
Detalles de la respuesta
To calculate the current in the circuit, we can use Ohm's Law: V = IR where V is the voltage (or electromotive force), I is the current, and R is the resistance. In this case, the voltage of the cell is 1.5V, and the internal resistance of the cell is 2.5Ω. The total resistance in the circuit is the sum of the ammeter resistance (0.5Ω) and the resistor resistance (7.0Ω), which is 7.5Ω. So, we can write the equation: 1.5V = I (2.5Ω + 7.5Ω) Simplifying the equation, we get: 1.5V = I (10Ω) I = 1.5V / 10Ω I = 0.15A Therefore, the current in the circuit is 0.15A. The correct option is (a) 0.15A.

A body accelerates uniformly from rest at \(2ms^{-2}\). Calculate the velocity after traveling 9m
Detalles de la respuesta
We can use the equation of motion: v^2 = u^2 + 2as where v is final velocity, u is initial velocity, a is acceleration, and s is displacement. In this problem, the body starts from rest, so its initial velocity (u) is 0. The acceleration (a) is given as 2\(ms^{-2}\), and the displacement (s) is 9m. Plugging in these values, we get: v^2 = 0^2 + 2(2\(ms^{-2}\))(9m) v^2 = 36\(ms^{-2}\)m^2 Taking the square root of both sides, we get: v = sqrt(36\(ms^{-2}\)m^2) v = 6\(ms^{-1}\) Therefore, the velocity of the body after traveling 9m is 6\(ms^{-1}\). The answer is.
