State the limitations of Newton’s laws of motion. |
|
Answer» 1. Newton’s laws of motion are not applicable in a non-inertial (accelerated) frame of reference. 2. Newton’s laws are only applicable to point objects. 3. Newton’s laws are only applicable to rigid bodies. 4. Results obtained by applying Newton’s laws of motion for objects moving with speeds comparable to that of light do not match with the experimental results and Einstein special theory of relativity has to be used. 5. Newton’s laws of motion fail to explain the behaviour and interaction of objects having atomic or molecular sizes, and quantum mechanics has to be used. |

Explain why is it difficult to move a cycle along a road with its brakes on? |
|
Answer» When we move the cycle with its brakes on, then, its wheels can only skid, i.e., slide along the road as they can’t rotate. So, the friction is sliding in nature. As the sliding friction is greater than the rolling friction therefore, it is difficult to move with its brakes on. |

It is now believed that protons and neutrons are themselves built out of more elementary of charge \(+\frac{2e}{3}\) and then down quarks denoted by ‘d’ of charge \(-\frac{e}{3}\) together with electrons build up ordinary matter. Suggest a possible quark composition of a proton and neutron. |
|
Answer» The charge on up quark (u) = \(+\frac{2e}{3}\) On the other hand, neutron is a neutral particle but it is also made of three quarks. For this, the possible composition of the neutron is ‘udd’. |
|
| 20106. |
The dimensions of an atom are of the order of an Angstrom. Thus there must be large electric fields between the protons and electrons. Why, then is the electrostatic field inside a conductor zero? |
|
Answer» The electric fields bind the atoms to neutral entity. Fields are caused by excess charges. There can be no excess charge on the inter surface of an isolated conductor. |

|
| 20110. |
Select the most appropriate alternative from those given below :Partnership is compulsorily dissolved when the partners of the firm become _________OptionsSolventInsolventCreditorNone of these |
|
Answer» Partnership is compulsorily dissolved when the partners of the firm become insolvent. Explanation: When the partners of a firm become insolvent, it implies that the assets of the firm have decreased in comparison to the liabilities. Moreover, the partners do not have enough funds to make payment to the creditors; hence, the partnership is compulsorily dissolved as per the order of a court of justice. |

What is the excess pressure inside a bubble of soap solution of radius 5.00 mm, given that the surface tension of soap solution at the temperature (20°C) is 2.50 x 10-2 Nm-1? If an air bubble of the same dimension were formed at depth of 40.0 cm inside a container containing the soap solution (or relative density 1.20), what would be the pressure inside the bubble? (1 atmosphere pressure is 1.01 x 105 Pa) |
|
Answer» Here, surface tension, T = 2.50 x 10-2 Nm-1 Radius, r = 5.00 mm = 5 x 10-3 m Excess pressure, p = 4T/r (For a bubble) = {4 x 2.50 x 10-2}/{5 x 10-3} = 20 Pa Now, p1 - p0 = p ⇒ p1 = p + p0 = 1.01 x 105 + 20 = 1.0102 x 105 Pa If the bubble of the same radius as above is at depth of 40 cm inside the soap solution, then excess of pressure is given by, p = 2T/r = {2 x 2.50 x 10-2}/{5 x 10-3} = 10 Pa Also, outside pressure is, p0 = Pressure of water above the bubble + atmosphere pressure = ρgh + 1.01 x 105 Here, ρ = 1.2 x 103 kg m-3 g = 9.8 ms-2 and h = 40 x 10-2 m p0 = 1.2 x 103 x 9.8 x 40 x 10-2 + 1.0 x 105 = 4.704 x 103 + 1.01 x 105 = 1.057 x 105 Pa If p1 is the inside pressure, then p1 - p0 = p ⇒ p1 = p + p0 = 1.057 x 105 + 10 = 1.057 x 105 |

Two solid spheres of same metal but of mass M and 8M fall simultaneously on a viscous liquid and their terminal velocities are v and nv, then value of n is A) 16 B) 8 C) 4 D) 2 |
|
Answer» The terminal velocity is given by v, where v α r2 (r = radius of the sphere). The mass of the sphere can be given by \( m = \frac{4}{2} \pi r^3\rho, thus\,m \propto r^3\) \(\frac{m_1}{m_2} = \frac{1}{8}=( \frac{r_1}{r_2})^3 \,\,\Rightarrow\frac{r_1}{r_2} = \frac{1}{2}\) \( and \, since, \frac{v_1}{v_2} = (\frac{r_1}{r_2})^2 = \frac{1}{4}\) \( \Rightarrow\frac{v}{nv} = \frac{1}{4}\) \( \Rightarrow n=4\) |
|

There is an air bubble of radius 1.0 mm in a liquid of surface tension 0.072 N/m and density 103 kg/m3 . The bubble is at a depth of 10 cm below the free surface of the liquid. By what amount is the pressure inside the bubble greater than the’ atmospheric pressure? |
|
Answer» Data : R = 10-3 m, T = 0.072 N/m, ρ = 103 kg/m3 , h = 0.1 m Let the atmospheric pressure be p0. Then, the absolute pressure within the liquid at a depth h is p = p0 + ρgh Hence, the pressure inside the bubble is pin = p0 + \(\frac{2T}R\) = p0 + pgh + \(\frac{2T}R\) The excess pressure inside the bubble over the atmospheric pressure is pin = p0 = pgh + \(\frac{2T}R\) = (103) (9.8) (0.1) + \(\frac{2(0.072)}{10^{-3}}\) = 980 + 144 = 1124 Pa |
