Dietary fibre-found mainly in fruits, vegetables, whole grains and legumes- is probably best known for its ability to prevent or relieve constipation. But foods containing fibre can provide other health benefits as well, such as helping to maintain a healthy weight and lowering your risk of diabetes, heart disease and some types of cancer. Dietary fibre, also known as roughage or bulk, includes the parts of plant foods your body can't digest or absorb. Unlike other food components, such as fats, proteins or carbohydrates- which your body breaks down and absorbs- fibre isn't digested by your body. Instread, it passes relatively intact through your stomach, small intestine and colon and out of your body. Enlist the advantages of fibres in diet.

Answer»

Solution :Fibres help to relieve constipation and help in maintaining a HEALTHY WEIGHT and LOWERING risk of diabetes, HEART disease and some types of cancer.

(a) How does the rate of reaction depend upon the concentration of reactants ?

Answer»

Solution :(1) A chemical reaction takes PLACE due to collisions of the reactant molecules. Higher the concentrations of the reactants more will be the frequency of collisions and faster will be the rate of the reaction.
(2) In the reaction of dil. HCI and ` CaCO_(3) , CaCO_(3)`DISAPPEARS slowly and ` CO_(2)`also liberates slowly. On the other hand th reaction with concnetrated HCI takes place rapidly and `CaCO_(3)`disappears fast.
(3)Concentrated acid REACTS faster than dilute acid, that means the rate of a reaction is proportional to the concentration of reactants.
Slow reaction.
` CaCO_(3).+ "dil". 2HCI to CaCI_(2) + CO_(2) + H_(2)O`
Fast reaction :
` CaCO_(3) + underset("conc.")(2HCI) to CaCI_(2) + CO_(2) +H_(2)O`

Why are the video-clips of parents threatening or hitting the children not studying as per their wish or domestic helpers beating the children are very common on social media nowdays ?

Answer»

Solution :Due to nuclear families children stay only with their parets. Grandparents or other relatives are not at home. In most of the families the working mother also leaves the house for EARNING or for her career.When children come home after school hours, nobody knows what are they doing! Throughtout the academic year they either spend time over trivial things or do not complete their homework.As a result there is sudden mental stress due to approaching examinations. In addition to this due to population explosion there is fierce competition in verysector. Parents are not aware of the capabilities and aptitude of their children.They just thinkof fulfilling their own expectations from children, Therefore they start threatening or hitting threri children for not proving themselves. this is absolutely wrong type of parenting
Due to nuclear families and educated mothers, they LEAVE their very young children withservents or baby-sisters .Due to tremendous social change,the women also strive for equality but at the same time they do not want help from her seniors. They younger generation do not want to take care of the OLDER generation and thus they do not want the obligation from them either. The self-centredness has crept into personality of everyone.Thus they prefer to give payment to the servents or helpers than talking help of their own old parents or in laws.Such paid people do not take care of the children as there is no bond of love between them. Then they beat and commit atrocities on these young babies. Such CLIPS are circulated on the social media.
All the above three questions, show a condition of changing social structure.The persons who indulge in BEATING or harassing are mentally sick people who themselves are under mental stress.

What is meant by the apparent size of an object ? With a neat and labelled diagram, explain the relation between the apparent sizeof an object and the angle subtended by the object at the eye.

Answer»

Solution :An object appears SMALL or big depending UPON the size of its image formed on the RETINA of the eye. The size of an object as perceived by the eye is called the APPARENT size of an object . Consider two object of the same size, one held enar the eye and the other away from the eye as shown in the following figure . THe nerarby object (PQ) appears larger than the distant object `(P_(1)Q_(1))`

distant object at the eye. This shows that the apparent size of an object depends upon the able subtended by the object at the eye. The greater the angle subtended by the object at the eye, the greater is the apparent size of the object. Similarly, the SMALLER the angle subtended by the object at the eye, the smaller is the apparent size of the object.

Obtain an expression for equivalent resistance of two resistors connected in a series combination.

Answer»

Solution :Two resistors of resistance `R_(1)` and `R_(2)` are connected in series. LET I be the current flowing through the CIRCUIT The current through each resistor is ALSO I. The two resistors joined in series is replaced by an equivalent SINGLE resistor of resistance R such that the potential difference V across it, and the current I through the circuit remains same.

As `V=IR , V_(1)=IR =IR_(1),V_(2)=IR_(2)`
`IR=IR_(1)+IR_(2)`

i] List the differences between electrical resistance and resistivity of conductor. ii] A copper wire of resistivity 1.63xx10^(-8)Omega-m has cross section area of 10.3xx10^(-4)cm^(2). Calculate the length of the wire required to make a 20Omega coil.

Answer»

Solution :i]
ii] `rho=1.63xx10^(-8)`OHM-m
`A=10.3xx10^(-4)cm^(2)=10.3m^(2)`
R = 20 Ohm
`R=rhoL/A`
then, `L=(20xx10.3)/(1.63xx10^(-8))=126.4m`
`L=1.264xx10^(10)`m
[cross section is very LARGE...that is why the RESISTANCE is too small.]
If the area A = `10.3xx10^(-4)cm^(2)=10.3xx10^(-8)m^(2)`
then `L=(20xx10.3xx10^(-8))/(1.63xx10^(-8))=126.4m`

Two bodies at different temperatures T_1 and T_2 , if brought in thermal contact do not necessarily settle to the mean temperature (T_1 + T_2)//2Explain.

Answer»

Solution :Heat flows from higher temperature to LOWER temperature until the temperature BECOME equal.
Two BODIES
`m_1 = "mass of 'A'"T_1""T_2m_2` = mass of 'B'
`c_1` = specific heat of A `"" c_2` = Sepecific heat of B
Let `T_1 gt T_2` Heat will be lost by ‘A’ and gained by ‘B’ ACCORDING to principle of caloriemetry,
Heat lost = Heat gained
Let their common temperature attained be ‘T’,
`m_1c_1(T_1-T)=m_2c_2(T-T_2)`
`m_1c_1T_1-m_1c_1T = m_2c_2T-m_2c_2T_2`
`m_1c_1T_1+m_1c_1T_2 = (m_1c_1+m_2c_2)T`
`T = (m_1c_1T_1+m_2c_2T_2)/((m_1c_1+m_2c_2))`

i] State Ohm's law ii] Explain the factors on which the resistance of a conductor depends.

Answer»

Solution :i] Ohm.s law: When TEMPERATURE is constant, the potential difference across the ends of a metallic wire (V) is DIRECTLY proportional to the current (I) flowing through it, i.e., `VpropIorV=RI`
where R is PROPORTIONALITY constant called resistance.
ii] Resistance of a conductor (R) depends on:
1] Length of the conductor (l): Resistance is directly proportional to length of the conductor, i.e., `Rpropl`
(2) Area of cross SECTION of the conductor (A): Resistance is inversely proportional to area of cross section of the conductor, i.e.,
`Rprop1/A`
3] Nature of material of the conductor: Combining 1 and 2, we get,
`Rpropl/AorR=rhol/A`
where `rho` is the constant of proportionality which depends on the nature of material of the conductor.
4] Temperature: The resistance of a conductor INCREASES with increase in temperature.
