A spring-mass system oscillates with a frequency v. If it is taken in an elevator slowly accelerating upward, the frequency will (a) increase (b) decrease (c) remain same (d) become zero.

Answer» (c) remain same
6.

An object is released from rest. The time it takes to fall through a distance h and the speed of the object as it falls through this distance are measured with a pendulum clock. The entire apparatus is taken on the moon and the experiment is repeated(a) the measured times are same(b) the measured speeds are same(c) the actual times in the fall are equal(d) the actual speeds are equal.

Answer»

(a) the measured times are same

(b) the measured speeds are same

EXPLANATION:  

The time of fall t = √(2h/g) and the final speed v=√(2gh). The time period of the pendulum clock T=2π√(l/g). If the acceleration due to the gravity at the moon is g' = g/6, the actual time of fall will be t' = √6.t, i.e. √6 time more than that on the earth. (c) is not true. 

Similarly, the actual speed v' =v/√6, i.e. only 1/√6 th of v. (d) is not true. Now the time period of the pendulum clock will be T'=√6.T, i.e. it will run √6 time slower than on the earth. Therefore the √6 times longer time of fall will be measured exactly the same by the √6 times slower clock. So (a) is true. 

Since the clock shows the same time taken to fall through the same height, the measured speed will also be the same. (b) is true.

7.

A spring-mass system oacmates hi a car. it the car accelerates on a horizontal road, the frequency of oscillation will(a) increase(b) decrease(c) remain same (d) become zero.

Answer»

(c) remain same

EXPLANATION: 

The frequency of a spring-mass system depends only on the mass and the spring constant, none of which changes in the accelerating car. So the frequency remains the same. Option (c).  

8.

An object is released from rest. The time it takes to fell through a distance h and the speed of the object as it falls through this distance are measured with j pendulum clock. The entire apparatus is taken on the moon and the experiment is repeated (a) the measured times are same (b) the measured speeds are same (c) the actual times in the fall are equal  (d) the actual speeds are equal.

Answer»

(a) the measured times are same

(b) the measured speeds are same

EXPLANATION:  

The time of fall t = √(2h/g) and the final speed v=√(2gh). The time period of the pendulum clock T=2π√(l/g). If the acceleration due to the gravity at the moon is g' = g/6, the actual time of fall will be t' = √6.t, i.e. √6 time more than that on the earth. (c) is not true. 

Similarly, the actual speed v' =v/√6, i.e. only 1/√6 th of v. (d) is not true. Now the time period of the pendulum clock will be T'=√6.T, i.e. it will run √6 time slower than on the earth. Therefore the √6 times longer time of fall will be measured exactly the same by the √6 times slower clock. So (a) is true. 

Since the clock shows the same time taken to fall through the same height, the measured speed will also be the same. (b) is true.

9.

Which of the following will change the time period as they are taken to moon ?(a) A simple pendulum.(b) A physical pendulum.(c) A torsional pendulum.(d) A spring-mass system.

Answer»

(a) A simple pendulum.

(b) A physical pendulum.

EXPLANATION:  

Since on the moon g changes, only that time period will change which depends on the value of g. The time period of a simple pendulum and the physical pendulum is a function of g so their time period will change on the moon. (a) and (b) are true. The time period of a torsional pendulum and the spring-mass system is not dependent on the value of g, so they will not change on the moon. (c) and (d) not true.

10.

A pendulum clock that keeps correct time on the earth is taken to the moon. It will run(a) at correct rate (b) 6 times faster(c) √6 times faster (d) √6 times slower.

Answer»

(d) 6 times slower.

EXPLANATION:  

The time period of the pendulum of the clock on the earth T =2π√(l/g). On the moon g'=g/6. The time period on the moon T' =2π√6l/g) =√6*2π√(l/g) =√6T.  

So the pendulum will take √6 times more time in one oscillation on the moon and it will run √6 times slower. The option (d) is true.

11.

Which of the following will change the time period as they are taken to moon?(a) A simple pendulum.(b) A physical pendulum(c) A torsional pendulum.(d) A spring-mass system.

Answer»

(a) A simple pendulum.

(b) A physical pendulum.

EXPLANATION:  

Since on the moon g changes, only that time period will change which depends on the value of g. The time period of a simple pendulum and the physical pendulum is a function of g so their time period will change on the moon. (a) and (b) are true. The time period of a torsional pendulum and the spring-mass system is not dependent on the value of g, so they will not change on the moon. (c) and (d) not true.

12.

Do you know what a ‘bearhug’ is? It’s a friendly and strong hug — such as bears are thought to give, as they attack you! Again, hyenas are thought to laugh, and crocodiles to weep (‘crocodile tears’) as they swallow their victims. Are there similar expressions and popular ideas about wild animals in your own language(s)?

Answer»

A ‘bearhug’ is the bear’s tight embrace. Hyenas never laugh. But their faces look like that. Crocodiles do not weep but tears come when they swallow their victims.

17.

Sex ratio is defined as the number of females per 1000 males in the population. Find the sex ratio if there are 3732 females per 4000 males in a town.

Answer»

Number of females = 3732

Number of males = 4000

The required sex ratio = 3732/4000 = 933/1000

Thus, there are 933 females per 1000 males.
