A block of mass M is kept in elevator (lift) which starts moving upward with constant acceleration b as shown in figure. Initially elevator at rest. The block is observed by two observers A and B for a time interval `t=0` to `t=T`. Observer B is at rest with respect to elevator and observer A is standing on the ground. Q. The observer A finds that work done by normal reaction acting on the blocks isA. `(1)/(2)M(g+b)^(2)T^(2)`B. `-(1)/(2)M(g+b)^(2)T^(2)`C. `(1)/(2)M(g+b)bT^(2)`D. `(1)/(2)M(g+b)bT^(2)`

Answer» Correct Answer - C
The normal reaction acting on the block is `M(g+b)` in upward direction. The upward displacement of the block is `(1)/(2)bT^(2)` hence the work done by normal reaction is `M(g+b)xx(1)/(2)bT^(2)`
2.

The displacemennt of a moving partical is proportional to the square of the time, For this particleA. the velocity is constantB. the velocity is variableC. the acceleration is constantD. the acceleration is variable

Answer» Correct Answer - B::C
`s prop t^(2)`
`:. s = ct` where `c = constant`
`(i) v = (ds)/(dt) = 2 ct`
`:. V prop t`
`(ii) a = (dv)/(dt) = 2c`
so, `a = constant`

Answer»

1 Kilogram : The kilogram (abbreviation, kg) is the Standard International (SI) System of Units unit of mass. 1 Kilogram is defined as the mass of one liter (10-3 cubic meter) of pure water.

1 Quintal = 100 kg and 100 kg = 1 quintal.

hence 1 kg = 1/100 = 0.01 quintal

1 kg = 0.001 metric ton

1 kg = 1000 gram

One end of a light string of length `L` is connected to a ball and the other end is connected to a fixed point `O`. The ball is released from rest at `t = 0` with string horizontal and just taut. The ball then moves in vertical circular path as shown. The time taken by ball to go from position `A` to `B` is `t_(1)` and from `B` to lowest position `C` is `t_(2)`. Let the velocity of ball at `B` is `vec v_(B)` and at `C` is `vec v_(C)` respectively. If `|vec v_(C)=2|vecv_(B)|` then the value of `theta` as shown isA. `cos^(-1)((1)/(4))`B. `sin^(-1)((1)/(4))`C. `cos^(-1)((1)/(2))`D. `sin^(-1)((1)/(2))`

Answer» Correct Answer - B
`v_(B)=sqrt(2gLsintheta)` and `v_(C)=sqrt(2gL)`
if `V_(C)=2v_(B)`
Then `2gL=4(2gLsintheta)`
or `sintheta(1)/(4)orthetasin^(-1)((1)/(4))`

A bomber plane moving at a horizontal speed of `20 m//s` releases a bomb at a height of `80 m` above ground as shown. At the same instant a Hunter of negligible height starts running from a point below it, to catch the bomb with speed `10 m//s`. After two seconds he relized that he cannot make it, he stops running and immediately hold his gun and fires in such direction so that just before bomb hits the ground, bullet will hit it. What should be the firing speed of bullet (Take `g = 10 m//s^(2)`) A. `10 m//s`B. `20sqrt(10)m//s`C. `10sqrt(10)m//s`D. None of these

Answer» Correct Answer - C
In `2` sec. horizontal distance travelled by bomb
`= 20 xx 2 = 40 m`
In `2` sec. vertical distance travelled by bomb
`= (1)/(2) xx 10 xx 2^(2) = 20 m`
In `2` sec. horizontal distance travlled by Hunter
`= 10 xx 2 = 20 m`
Time remaining for bomb to hit ground
`= sqrt((2 xx 80)/(10)) - 2 = 2 sec`.
Let `V_(x)` and `V_(y)` be the velocity components of bullet along horizontal and vertical direction.
Thus we use, `(2V_(y))/(g) = 2`
`rArr V_(Y) = 10 m//s` and `(20)/(V_(x) - 20) = 2 rArr V_(x) = 30 m//s`
Thus velocity of firing is `V = sqrt(V_(x)^(2) + V_(y)^(2)) = 10sqrt(10) m//s`.
6.

The minimum work done required to accelerate a truck on a horizontal road from rest to speed `v`A. is less than that required to accelerate if from `v` to `2v`.B. is equal than that required to accelerate it from `v` to `2v`.C. is more than that required to accelerate it from `v` to `2v`.D. may be any one of the above since it depends on the force acting on the truck and the distance over which it acts.

Answer» Correct Answer - A
(Easy) Minimum work done to accelerate the truck from speed 0 to v and from v to 2v are
`Delta W_(1) =(1)/(2)mv_(2)-(1)/(2)m(0)_(2)=(1)/(2)mv_(2)`
and `Delta W_(2) = (1)/(2) m(2v)_(2)-(1)/(2) m(v)_(2) = (3)/(2) mv_(2)`
`:. Delta W_(1) lt Delta W_(2)`

None of these

Answer» Correct Answer - A
`t = (distance)/(speed)`
Since, speed of fly `ge` speed of particle so time taken by fly is less.

 What is solder?

Answer»

Solder is an alloy of lead and tin mixed in different proposition as per the work to be done. In some cases certain % of bismuth and cadmium is also added to decrease the melting point of the solder. Antimony increases the melting point of the solder.

Bismuth has a special quality in comparing to most of other metals. That is it expands when it cools. This property helps to shrink the solder and there by it allows the joint become firm. 

The quality of the solder depends on the % of tin in the solder. To get stronger joint add more tin in the solder. 

For electrical work fine solder of 1½ part tin and 1 part lead is used and for sheet metal works soft solder of 1 part tin and 1 part lead is used. 

15.

What is the difference between resistor, rheostat and potential divider?

Answer»

Resistor: a fixed resistance connected permanently in the circuit for limiting the current to definite value is called the resistor. 

Rheostat: a variable resistance by sliding contacts on it the current can be varied is called rheostat. 

Potential divider: when a resistance is used to develop a voltage drop it is called a potential divider.

Assertion (A) : The temperature dependence of resistance is usually given as: R = R0(1+αΔT).The resistance of a wire changes from 100Ω to 150Ω, when its temperature is increased form 27℃ to 227℃. This implies that α = 2.5 × 10−3℃−1.Reason(R) : R = R0(1+αΔT) is valid only when the change in temperature ΔT is small and ΔR = (R − R0 ) << R0.(a) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A (b) Both A and R are true but R is NOT the correct explanation of A (c) A is true but R is false (d) A is false and R is also false

Answer»

Option : (C)

Given that, 

R –R0 = R0∝ ∆ 

150-100 = 100×∝× (227 − 27) 

\(\frac{50}{100}\) =∝× 200 

Or, ∝ = 2.5 × 10−3−1 

Therefore,

Assertion is true. 

Reason is false as R – R0 = 150 – 100

= 50Ω, 

Which is not much-much less than R0 (= 100Ω).
