Shadows and eclipses result from the

Bayanin Amsa

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.

Convex mirrors are used as driving mirrors because images formed are

Bayanin Amsa

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.

To keep a vehicle moving at a constant speed V requires power P from the engine. The force provided by the engine is

Bayanin Amsa

The force provided by the engine to keep a vehicle moving at a constant speed is proportional to the power (P) required from the engine. This power is proportional to the product of the speed (V) and force (P), so the relationship can be expressed as P = kV, where k is a proportionality constant.

A body of mass 100g moving with a velocity if 10ms-1 collides with a wall. If after collision it moves with a velocity of 2.0ms−1 in the opposite direction, calculate the change in momentum.

Bayanin Amsa

Momentum = Mass x Velocity
Change in Momentum = Mass x (change in velocity)
Change in Momentum = Mass x (v - u)
Mass = 100g = 0.1kg
U = 2ms${}^{-1}$
V = 10ms${}^{-1}$
Change in momentum = m (v − u)
= 0.1 (10 − 2)
= 0.1 (8)
= 0.8Ns

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

Bayanin Amsa

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.

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

Bayanin Amsa

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.

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

Bayanin Amsa

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.

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?

Bayanin Amsa

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.

Which of the following instruments is most suitable for measuring the outside diameter of a narrow pipe in a few millimeters in diameter?

Bayanin Amsa

The most suitable instrument for measuring the outside diameter of a narrow pipe in a few millimeters in diameter is a micrometer screw gauge. A micrometer screw gauge is a precision measuring instrument that can accurately measure small dimensions with high accuracy. It has a spindle that moves towards an anvil and a scale that indicates the measurement. The spindle moves in response to a small rotation of the thimble, allowing for precise and sensitive measurements. In contrast, a pair of calipers or a meter rule may not be accurate enough for measuring such small dimensions, and a tape rule may not be able to fit inside the narrow pipe. Therefore, a micrometer screw gauge is the most suitable option for measuring the outside diameter of a narrow pipe in a few millimeters in diameter.

The differences observed in solids, liquids and gases may be accounted for by

Bayanin Amsa

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.

An object is placed 20cm from a concave mirror of focal length 10cm. The linear magnification of the image produced is?

Bayanin Amsa

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.

Which of the following concepts is not an evidence of the particles nature of matter?

Bayanin Amsa

The particle nature of matter refers to the idea that matter is made up of tiny particles that are constantly moving. Diffusion, Brownian motion, and crystallization are all examples of phenomena that can be explained by the particle nature of matter. However, diffraction is not an evidence of the particle nature of matter. Diffraction is a phenomenon that occurs when waves encounter an obstacle or a slit, causing them to spread out and interfere with each other. While particles can also exhibit diffraction, this is a property of waves and is not specific to particles. In summary, diffusion, Brownian motion, and crystallization are all evidences of the particle nature of matter, but diffraction is not.

Bayanin Amsa

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.

Which of the following obeys Ohm's law?

Bayanin Amsa

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.

Which of the following phenomena is the practical evidence for the existence of the continual motion of molecules.

Bayanin Amsa

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.

In a series R-L-C circuit at resonance, the voltages across the resistor and the inductor are 30V and 40V respectively. What is the voltage across the capacitor?

Bayanin Amsa

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?

Bayanin Amsa

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.

If the fraction of the atoms of a radioactive material left after 120years is $\frac{1}{64}$, what is the half-life of the material?  $\frac{1}{64}$

Bayanin Amsa

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.

A man hears his echo from a nearby hill 2s after he shouted. If the frequency of his voice is 260Hz and the wavelength is 1.29m, how far away is the hill

Bayanin Amsa

The speed of sound in air is approximately 343 meters per second at room temperature. The formula for the speed of sound is:

Speed of sound = Frequency × Wavelength

In this problem, we are given the frequency (260 Hz) and the wavelength (1.29 m) of the sound wave. We can use these values to calculate the speed of sound:

Speed of sound = 260 Hz × 1.29 m = 335.4 m/s

Next, we need to use the fact that the man hears his echo 2 seconds after he shouted. Since the sound wave traveled from the man to the hill and then back to the man, the total distance traveled by the sound wave is twice the distance from the man to the hill. We can use the formula:

Distance = Speed × Time

to calculate the distance from the man to the hill:

Distance = (335.4 m/s) × (2 s/2) = 335.4 m

Therefore, the hill is 335.4 meters away from the man. The answer is option (B), 335.4m.

Mercury which is spilled onto a glass surface forms ball-like shapes because____.

Bayanin Amsa

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 resistor connected to a 12V battery draws a current of 2A. The energy dispatched in the resistor in 5 minutes is ___.

Bayanin Amsa

To calculate the energy dispatched in the resistor, we need to use the formula: Energy = Power x Time Where Power is the amount of electrical power consumed by the resistor, and is equal to the product of the voltage across the resistor and the current flowing through it: Power = Voltage x Current In this case, the voltage across the resistor is 12V, and the current flowing through it is 2A. Therefore, the power consumed by the resistor is: Power = 12V x 2A = 24W Now, we can substitute this value of power along with the given time of 5 minutes into the formula for energy: Energy = 24W x 5min x 60s/min = 7,200J Therefore, the energy dispatched in the resistor in 5 minutes is 7,200J. is the correct answer.

What flows to the earth by connecting the conductor to the earth?

Bayanin Amsa

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.

In the diagram shown, which of the simple pendulum will resonate with P when set into oscillation?

Bayanin Amsa

A solid weighs 45N and 15N respectively in air and water. Determine the relative density of the solid

Bayanin Amsa

The relative density of a substance is defined as the ratio of its density to the density of a reference substance, usually water at 4 degrees Celsius. In this problem, we can use the principle of buoyancy to determine the density of the solid. When an object is submerged in a fluid, it experiences an upward force called the buoyant force, which is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object. If the object is less dense than the fluid, it will float, and if it is more dense, it will sink. We are given that the solid weighs 15 N in water, which means it displaces 15 N of water. The weight of the water displaced is equal to the buoyant force on the solid, which is equal to the weight of the solid when it is completely submerged in water. Therefore, the weight of the solid when it is completely submerged in water is 15 N. We are also given that the weight of the solid in air is 45 N. The difference between the weight of the solid in air and water is equal to the weight of the water displaced, which is 30 N. This means that the volume of water displaced by the solid is 30/9.8 = 3.06 L (since the density of water is 1000 kg/m^3 or 9.8 N/L). The relative density of the solid is equal to its density divided by the density of water. We can find the density of the solid by dividing its weight in air by its volume: Density of solid = Weight of solid in air / Volume of solid Density of solid = 45 N / (45 N - 15 N) [since weight of displaced water is 15N] Density of solid = 45 N / 30 N Density of solid = 1.5 N/L Therefore, the relative density of the solid is: Relative density = Density of solid / Density of water Relative density = 1.5 N/L / 1000 N/L Relative density = 0.0015 So the answer is 0.33 (rounded to two decimal places).

The energy needed to move a unit positive charge around a complete electric circuit is called the

Bayanin Amsa

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.

Water of mass 150g at 60${}^o$c is added to 300g of water at 20${}^o$c and the mixture is well stirred. Calculate the temperature of the mixture.(neglect heat losses to the surroundings)

Bayanin Amsa

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

When an atom loses or gain a charge it becomes

Bayanin Amsa

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.

A 40W instrument has a resistance 90 Ohms. On what voltage should it be operated normally

Bayanin Amsa

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.

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

Bayanin Amsa

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.

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

Bayanin Amsa

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).

What type of reaction is represented by the following scheme?

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

Bayanin Amsa

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.

The force between the molecules of a liquid in contact with that of a solid is?

Bayanin Amsa

(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.

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

Bayanin Amsa

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.

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

Bayanin Amsa

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.
