(a) Define momentum of a body. On what factors does the momentum of a body depend ? (b) Calculate the change in momentum of a body weighing 5 kg when its velocity decreases from 20 m/s to 0.20 m/s. |
|
Answer» (a) Momentum is the physical quantity which is the measure of the quantity of motion of a moving body. It depends on mass and velocity of the body. (b) Mass of body = 5 kg Velocity v1 = 20 m/s Momentum p1 = 20 x 5 = 100 kg.m/s Velocity v2 = 0.2 m/s Momentum p2 = 5 x 0.2 = 1 kg.m/s Change in momentum = p2 – p1 = 1-100 = -99 kg.m/s (Negative sign shows that momentum decreases) |

Two ideal gas thermometers A and B use oxygen and hydrogen respectively. The following observations are made:TemperaturePressure thermometer APressure thermometer BTriple point of water Normal melting point of sulphur1.250 x 105 Pa1.797 x 105 Pa0.200 x 105 Pa0.287 x 105 Pa(a) What is the absolute temperature of normal melting point of sulphur as read by the thermometer A and B?(b) What do you think is the reason for the slightly different answers from A and B? (Thermometers are not faulty). What further procedure is needed in the experiment to reduce the discrepancy between the two reading? |
|
Answer» (a) For thermometer A, Ptr = 1.250 x 105 Pa Ttr = 273.16 K p = 1.797 x 105 and T = ? Now, using Ptr/Ttr = p/T ⇒ T = pTtr/Ptr = {1.797 x 105 x 273.16}/{1.250 x 105} = 392.69 K For the thermometer B, Ptr = 0.200 x 105 Pa, Ttr = 273.16 K p = 0.287 x 105 Pa, T = ? Ttr = p.Ttr/Ptr = {0.287 x 105}/{0.200 x 105} x 273.16 = 391.98 K (b) The discrepancy between the two reading is due to the fact that the gases are not perfectly ideal gases. To reduce the discrepancy, the readings should be taken at low pressures so that the gases could show perfect behaviour. |

What is a periodic property? How do the following properties change in a group and period? Explain. I. a) Atomic radius b) Ionization energy c) Electron affinity d) Electronegativity II. Explain the ionization energy order in the following sets of elements:a) Na, Al, Cl b) Li, Be, B c) C, N, O d) F, Ne, Na e) Be, Mg, Ca |
|
Answer» Periodic property: The property in which there shall be a regular gradation is called periodic property. I. a) Atomic radius : Period : Atomic radius of elements decreases across a period from left to right because the nuclear charge increases due to increase in atomic number. Group : Atomic radius increases from top to bottom in a group due to addition of new shell. b) Ionization energy: Period : When we move from left to right it does not follow a regular trend but generally increases due to increase in atomic number. Group : In a group from top to bottom, the ionization energy decreases due to increase in atomic size. – c) Electron affinity: Period : Electron affinity values increase from left to right in a period. Group : Electron affinity values decrease from top to bottom in a group. d) Electronegativity : Period : Electronegativity increases from left to right in a period. Group : Electronegativity decreases from top to bottom in a group. II. Ionization energy order : a) Na, Al, Cl : In a period ionisation energy increases so the order is Na < kl < Cl. b) Li, Be, B : Beryllium has stable configuration 1s² 2s². So it has more ionisation energy. So the order is Li < B < Be. c) C, N, O : Nitrogen has half-filled p-orbitals. So it has greater ionisation energy. So the order is C < O < N. d) F, Ne, Na : Ne is inert gas right to F. Whereas Na is a metal ion in third period. So, the order is Na < F< Ne. e) Be, Mg, Ca : In a group ionisation energy decreases. So the order is Be > Mg > Ca. |

What do you understand by provincial autonomy mentioned in the Act of 1935? What were the restrictions imposed on it, that made it marginalized? |
|
Answer» Meaning of Provincial Autonomy mentioned in the Act of 1935: Provincial autonomy was the most important characteristic of Government of India Act of 1935. There may be two meanings of provincial autonomy: 1. The provinces should have the right and power of working independently in their region, i.e. the provinces should be free from external control in their respective area, 2. Establishment of responsible governance in the provinces. In other words, the governance of the provinces must be kept with a cabinet of popular ministers, who are responsible and liable towards the legislature as well as towards the public. The diarchy system was introduced in the provinces and they were given a form of autonomous political unit. They were made free from central interference. They were provided legal, administrative and financial rights on 54 subjects of the provincial list. It was known as provincial autonomy. Restrictions that made Provincial Autonomy Weak: The provincial autonomy established by the Government of India Act, 1935 was far from reality. Several internal and external restrictions were imposed on it that made it weak. The chief restrictions are given below: (A) External restrictions on provincial autonomy: Several arrangements of central interference on provincial autonomy were made under the Government of India Act, 1935, while it should have been free from any boundation. The main external restrictions on provincial autonomy are given below: 1. Declaration of emergency: Under Section 102 of the Act of 1935, the governor – general could declare emergency in specific conditions of crisis, serious internal disorder or unrest and real or probable danger of wars. After declaration of emergency, federal legislature could make laws related to provincial subjects. 2. Control of center on provinces: Under Section 156, the governor – general could release the advisory to provincial governance on peace and safety. Under these circumstances, the governor could declare the failure of constitutional system under Section 93, and the entire provincial governance would come under him. 3. Governor – General’s control over provincial laws: Some special type of bills could not be approved in the assembly without perpermission of the governor-general. 4. Governor kept the bills safe for the acceptance of governor – general, approved by provincial legislature: The governor kept the bills safe for the acceptance of governor-general, which, the provincial legislature had already approved. The governor – general could also keep these types of bills safe for the approval of the British emperor through India secretary. 5. Discretionary Powers of governor – general: To fulfill these rights and liabilities, governor general could interfere in the working of the provinces and give directions to ministers. . (B) Internal restrictions on provincial autonomy: The provincial governance was also not free internally. The following internal limitations and boundations were imposed over provincial autonomy: 1. The constitutional role of governor in provinces was greater than that of constitutional president: For real provincial autonomy, governor should play a role of constitutional president, but the governor was made its real head. Entire province was under his hold. He had the right to pass bill, refuse a bill approved by the provincial assembly and to keep it safe for the acceptance of the governor – general. 2. Unlimited financial powers of governor: The governor was given unlimited financial powers. The provincial budget was formed under his guidelines. He had the right or liability to make a bill passed in the assembly. The approval or refusal or an amendment of a bill passed by provincial legislature, was dependent on the wish of the governor. 3. Governor’s control on the ministers: The governor had a right to appoint or to dismiss the ministers or to distribute the departments among them. The Governor also called the meeting of cabinet. These powers of the governor made the provincial autonomy weak. 4. Non – cooperation of civil servants with ministers: The behaviour of civil officials was non – cooperative with the ministers, which was unfavorable for provincial autonomy. In this way, it can be said that provincial autonomy was a mere pretense. So there was a great dissatisfaction in the Indians for it. For the implementation of real provincial autonomy, they organised several movements. |

How a thermometer is calibrated? |
|
Answer» 1. For the calibration of a thermometer, a standard temperature interval is selected between two easily reproducible fixed temperatures. 2. The fact that substances change state from solid to liquid to gas at fixed temperatures is used to define reference temperature called fixed point. 3. The two fixed temperatures selected for this purpose are the melting point of ice or freezing point of water and the boiling point of water. 4. This standard temperature interval is divided into sub-intervals by utilizing some physical property that changes with temperature. 5. Each sub-interval is called as a degree of temperature. Thus, an empirical scale for temperature is set up. |
