Theory of Relativity was given by:1. Archimedes2. Albert Einstein3. Sir Isaac Newton4. Charles Darwin

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 2 : Albert Einstein

The correct answer is Albert Einstein.

  • Relativity is a theorem, formulated by Albert Einstein, which states that space and time are relative and all the motion must be relative to a frame of reference.
    • It is a notion that states, laws of physics are the same everywhere. This theory is simple but hard to understand.
    • It states
      • There is no absolute reference frame, if the object or momentum is only in relation to other objects, then velocity can be measured.
      • The speed of light is constant irrespective of who measures it or how fast the person measuring it, is moving.
  • Albert Einstein's Theory of Relativity encompasses two theories, namely special relativity theory and general relatively Theory.
    • Special Theory of Relativity:
      • Einstein first introduced this term in the year 1905. It is a theorem that deals with the structure of space-time. Einstein explained this theory based on two postulates.
      • The laws of physics are the same for all irrespective of the velocity of the observer.
      • The speed of light is always constant regardless of the motion of the light source or the motion of the observer.
    • General Theory of Relativity:
      • General relativity theory developed by Einstein in the year 1907-1915 states that being at rest in the gravitational field and accelerating is identical physically.
      • For example, an observer can see the ball the same way on the rocket and on Earth. This is due to the acceleration of the rocket, which is equal to 9.8 m/s2. This theory relates to Newton's gravitational theory and special relativity.
      • Gravitational Time dilation: Gravity influences the passage of time. Clocks in the deeper gravitational wells run slower than in general gravitational levels.
      • Light rays will bend in the gravitational field.
      • The universe is expanding, and parts of it are moving away from Earth faster than the speed of light.

  • Archimedes: Archimedes discovered the Archimedes principle that states that the upward buoyant force that is exerted on a body immersed in a fluid, whether fully or partially submerged, is equal to the weight of the fluid that the body displaces.
  • Charles Darwin:  Darwins proposed the theory of evolution by natural selection. first formulated in Darwin's book "On the Origin of Species" in 1859, is the process by which organisms change over time as a result of changes in heritable physical or behavioral traits.
  • Sir Isaac Newton:  Sir Isaac Newton was born on 25 December 1642 and is believed to be the greatest and most influential scientist who ever lived.
    • Newton was an English physicist, mathematician, astronomer, and theologian who worked on many practical experiments and laid the foundation for the principles of classical mechanics.
    • It was in 1687 that his first edition of his Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica (later translated in 1825 as The Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy ) was published.

15.

State parallel axis theorem?

Answer»

Parallel axis theorem: Parallel axis theorem states that the moment of inertia of a body about any axis is equal to the sum of its moment of inertia about a parallel axis through its center of mass and the product of the mass of the body and the square of the perpendicular distance between the two axes.

If IC is the moment of inertia of the body of mass M about an axis passing through the center of mass, then the moment of inertia I about a parallel axis at a distance d from it is given by the relation, I = IC + Md2

16.

Calculate the moment of inertia of uniform circular disc of mass 500 G radius 10 cm about 1. The diameter of the disc 2. The axis, tangent to the disc and parallel to its diameter 3. The axis through the centre of the disc and perpendicular to its plane

Answer»

1. Given Data: M = 500 g = 0.5 kg. R = 10 cm = 10 × 10-2

Moment of inertia of disc about diameter = Id = \(\frac{1}{4}\) MR2 

Id =\(\frac{1}{4}\) × 0.5 × 0.1 kg m2 = 0.0125 kg m2 

2. Apply a parallel axes theorem, moment of inertia of the disc about a tangent to the disc and parallel to the diameter of the disc

\(\frac{1}{4}\) MR2 + MR2\(\frac{5}{4}\) MR2 = × 0.5 × 1 

= 0.0625 kgm2

3. Moment of inertia of the disc about an axis passing through the centre of disc and perpendicular to the plane of the disc

\(\frac{1}{2}\) MR2\(\frac{1}{2}\) × 0.5 × 0.1 = 0.025 kgm2

17.

Explain sky waves and space waves.

Answer»

Sky waves: Long distance communication can be achieved by ionospheric reflection of radiowaves back towards the earth. Sky wave propagation and is used by short waves broadcast services. The ionosphere is so called because of the presence of a large number of ions of charged particles. It extends from a height of ~ 65 km to about 400 km above.

Space wave: A space wave travels in a straight line from transmitting antenna to the receiving antenna.Space waves are used for line-of-right (LOS) communication as well as satellite communication. At frequencies above 40 MHz, communication is essentially limited to line-of-sight paths. At these frequencies,the antennas are relatively smaller and can be placed at heights of many wavelengths about the ground.

18.

What is traffic shaping?

Answer»

One of the main causes of congestion is that traffic is often busy. If hosts could be made to transmit at a uniform rate, congestion would be less common. Another open loop method to help manage congestion is forcing the packet to be transmitted at a more predictable rate. This is called traffic shaping.

Find the principal value of sec-1(-1)

Answer»

We know that the principal value branch of cos1x & sec1x is [0, π].

Now, sec1(1) = sec1(secπ)   (\(\because\) secπ \(=\frac{1}{\cos\pi}=\frac{1}{-1}=-1\))
