In measuring time period of a pendulum, it is advised to measure the time between consecutive passage through the mean position in the same direction. This is said to result in better accuracy than measuring time between consecutive passage through an extreme position. Explain.

Answer»

The speed near the extreme position is near zero and the decision by the observer that the bob has reached the extreme position may have some error due to slow movement. But the bob crosses the mean position with maximum speed so there is no hesitation in deciding that the bob has crossed the mean position and hence better accuracy.

14652.

A small creature moves with constant speed in a vertical circle on a bright day. Does its shadow formed by the sun on a horizontal plane move in a simple harmonic motion? 

Answer»

Yes. The projection of a point in a uniform circular motion on a diameter is a simple harmonic motion.

14653.

A particle executes simple harmonic motion. Let P be a point near the mean position and Q be a point near an extreme. The speed of the particle at P is larger than the speed at Q. Still the particle crosses P and Q equal number of times in a given time interval. Does it make you unhappy? 

Answer»

No. Since the particle at P and Q is not in uniform motion but in SHM and the same particle is in different phases at these points. Hence it is quite ok.

What are the fundamental units are used to express the units of Force?

Answer»

Force = Mass x acceleration

 =\(mass\,\times\,\frac{velocity}{time}\)

= mass x \(\frac{displacement}{time\,\times\,time}\)

= kg x \(m\,\frac{m}{s\,\times\,s}\)

Hence fundamental units used to express force are kg, m, s.

Explain the limitations of GDP.

Answer»

(i) Non – Marketed items are left out of GDP: GDP includes only the goods and services that are sold in the market, Non-Marketed items are not included. 

Eg: Services provided by parents to their children, clean air has no market value (or) price. Hence it is left out of GDP.

(ii) GDP measures only quantity not quality: At times, we can see some products which are available at large quantities in the product, at a very low price. Only the quantity sold and its price is measured in GDP. Quality of the product is not taken care of.

(iii) Income Distribution: The GDP of a country may be growing rapidly. But income may not be distributed equally. This brings a lot of unequal distribution of income and wealth. GDP actually do not suggest on income distribution.

(iv) Way of life of the people: A high level of Per-Capital real GDP, may lead to a very low health condition of the people, an undemocratic political system, High pollution, High suicidal rate.

एक रेलगाड़ी की चाल (2x2 + x + 4) किमी प्रति घण्टा है। ज्ञात कीजिए:(i) वह 3x घण्टे में कितनी दूरी तय करेगी?(ii) यदि x = 5, तो उपर्युक्त समय में रेलगाड़ी की चली गई दूरी ज्ञात कीजिए।

Answer»

(i) 

रेलगाड़ी की चाल = (2x2 + x +4) किमी/घण्टा

अत: 3x घण्टे में चली गई दूरी = (2x2 + x + 4) x 3x

= 6x2 + 3x2 + 12x किमी

(ii)

यदि x = 5 तो रेलगाड़ी द्वारा चली गई दूरी।

= 6x2 + 3x2 + 12x = 6 (5)3 +3 (5)2 + 12 x 5

= 6 × 125 + 3 × 25 + 60 = 750 + 75 + 60 = 885 किमी

14687.

एक विकास खण्ड में 5x + 3 विद्यालय में स्वच्छता के कारण प्रत्येक विद्यालय में 5x-3 बालिकाएँ बढ़ जाती हैं। तो विकास खण्ड में कितनी बालिकाएँ बढ़ जाती हैं?

Answer»

एक विद्यालय में स्वच्छता के कारण बालिकाएँ बढ़ जाती हैं = (5x – 3)

(5x+3) विद्यालय में स्वच्छता के कारण बालिकाएँ बढ़ जाती हैं = (5x – 3) (5x + 3)

= 25x2 – 15x + 15x – 9

= 25x– 9

14688.

एक विद्यालय में 2x कक्षाएँ हैं। प्रत्येक कक्षा में विद्यार्थियों की संख्या (x2 + 2x +2) है। ज्ञात कीजिए :(i) विद्यालय में विद्यार्थियों की कुल संख्या कितनी है?(ii) यदि x = 3, तो विद्यालय में कुल कितने विद्यार्थी हैं?

Answer»

(i) 

विद्यालय में कक्षाएँ = 2x

प्रत्येक कक्षा में विद्यार्थी = (x2 + 2x + 2)

अत: विद्यालय में कुल विद्यार्थियों की संख्या = 2x × (x3 + 2x + 2)

= 2x4 + 4x2 +4x विद्यार्थी

(ii)

विद्यार्थियों की संख्या = 2x4 + 4x2 +4x

यदि x = 3, तो कुल विद्यार्थियों की संख्या = 2 (3)4 +4 (3)2 +4 x 3

= 2 x 81 + 4 × 9+ 12

= 162 + 36 + 12 = 210

14689.

एक न्याय पंचायत में 2x + 3 ग्राम सभाएँ हैं। प्रत्येक ग्राम सभा में x + 5x + 6 नलकूप हैं। तो न्याय पंचायत में कुल कितने नलकूप हैं?

Answer»

एक ग्राम सभा में नलकूपों की संख्या = x2+ 5x +6

(2x+3) ग्राम सभाओं में नलकूपों की संख्या = (x+ 5x +6) × (2x+3)

= 2x+ 10x2 + 12x + 3x2 + 15x + 18

= 2x2 + 13x2 + 27x + 18

14690.

एक बाग में (x + 2y) पंक्तियाँ हैं। प्रत्येक पंक्ति में (x + 2y) पेड़ लगे हैं। ज्ञात कीजिए(i) बाग में कुल कितने पेड़ हैं?(ii) यदि x = 3, y = 2, तो बाग में पेड़ों की कुल कितनी संख्या है?

Answer»

(i)

बाग में पंक्तियाँ = (x + 2y)

प्रत्येक पंक्ति में पेड़ = (x + 2y)

अतः पेड़ों की कुल संख्या = (x + 2y) (x + 2y) = (x + 2y)2

= x2 + 2 × x × 2y + (2y)2 = x2 + 4xy + 4y2

(ii)

यदि x = 3. y = 2 है, तो

पेड़ों की कुल संख्या = (x + 2y)2

= (3 + 2 x 2) = (3 +4) = (7)2 = 49

14691.

कविता ने पुस्तक विक्रेता से (3x + 7) कॉपियाँ खरीदीं। यदि प्रत्येक कॉपी का मूल्य (2x – 1) हो, तो।(i) कुल कॉपियों का मूल्य कितना है?(ii) यदि x = 5, तो कविता ने पुस्तक विक्रेता को कितने रुपये दिए?

Answer»

(i) 

कॉपियों की संख्या = (3x +7)

प्रत्येक कॉपी का मूल्य = ₹ (2x – 1)

अतः कॉपियों का कुल मूल्य = (3x + 7) (2x – 1)

= 3x (2x – 1) +7 (2x – 1)

= 6x2 – 3x + 14x -7

= ₹ (6x2 + 11x – 7)

(ii)

यदि x = 5 हो, तो मूल्य = 6x2 + 11x – 7

= 6 (5)2 + 11 (5) -7

= 150 + 55-7

= 205 – 7 = ₹ 198

14692.

एक कलम का मूल्य र (2x – y) है। इसी प्रकार की (2x – y) कलमों का मूल्य ज्ञात कीजिए।

Answer»

1 कलम का मूल्य = (2x – y) रु०

(2x – y) कलमों का मूल्य = (2x -y) (2x -y) ,

= (2x -y)

= (2x)2 – 2 × 2x × y + (y)2

= ₹ (4x2 – 4xy + y2)

14693.

एक आयताकार मैदान की लम्बाई (2x + 1) मी तथा चौड़ाई (2x – 1) मी है। आयत का क्षेत्रफल ज्ञात कीजिए।

Answer»

आयताकार मैदान की लम्बाई = (2x + 1) मी

आयताकार मैदान की चौड़ाई = (2x – 1) मी

आयताकार मैदार का क्षेत्रफल 

= (2x + 1) (2x – 1)

= (2x)2 – (1)2 = (4x2 – 1) मी2

14694.

ABCD is a parallelogram whose area is 100 sq.cm. P is any point inside the parallelogram (see fig.) find tie area of △APB + △CPD.

Answer»

Area of parallelogram ABCD = 100 sq.cm 

From the given figure, 

ar (△APB) + ar (△CPD) = ar (△PD) + ar (△BPC)

ar (△APB) + ar (△CPD) = 1/2 a(▭ ABCD)

What changes in the stage setting would you suggest.

Answer»

The characters are the part of stage setting and the play starts with Theseus, Duke of Athens as he wins the queen of Amazons, Hippolyta. But later, in their marriage celebration there are the king and the queen of fairies, Oberon and Titania as well as other fairies and elves as imaginary characters.
