A person travels along a straight road for the first half length with a velocity v_(1)and the second half length with velocityv_(2). What is the mean velocity of the person ?

Answer»

`(2)/(V)=(1)/(v_(1))+(1)/(v_(2))`
`V=(V_(1)+v_(2))/(2)`
`V=sqrt(v_(1).v_(2))`
`vecV_(1)+vecV_(2)`

Solution :AR. VELOCITY
`V= (S_(1)+S_(2))/(t) = ((V_(1)t)/(2)+(V_(2)t)/(2))/(t)`
`V_(1)=(S_(1))/(t//2), V_(2)=(S_(2))/(t//2)`
`=(V_(1)+V_(2))/(2)`

An electric bulb is rated 220V and 100W. When it is operated on 110V the powerconsumed will be …………… .

Answer»

100W
75W
50W
25W

Solution :Here, the POWER rating of the electric bulb is P = 100W and the voltage rating is V = 220V
So, the resistance of the FILAMENT of the bulb is
`R = V^2/P`
`=((220)^2)/100`
`=484 OMEGA`

Now, the power consumed by the bulbwhen it is OPERATED at 110 V is given by
`P. +(V.^2)/(R)`
` =((110)^2)/(484) = (110xx110)/484 =25 W`

Track the changes in methods of animal classification. How did the niethods of animal classification change over time?

Answer»

SOLUTION :There were different methods of CLASSIFICATION of animals.
(1) The first classification method was given by the Greek philosopher Aristotle. He took into ACCOUNT the criteria like body size, habits and HABITATS of the animals. This method was called artificial method of classification.
(2) The same artificial method was used by other scientists such as Theophrastus, Pliny, John Ray, Linnaeus, etc.
(3) Further due to advances in science the REFERENCES were changed and there were some new methods of classification proposed.
( 4) The system of classification called 'Natural system of classification' was then proposed. This system of classific_ation was based on criteria such as body organization, types of cells, chromosomes, bio-chemical properties, etc.
(5) Later, Dobzhansky and Meyer gave the system of classification based on evolution.
(6) In 1977, Carl Woese has also proposed the three domain system of animal classification.

How much heat should be supplied to convert ice of mass 50 g at 0^@C into water at 40^@ C ?

Answer»


Solution :Given :Mass of ice/WATER (m)=50 g
Change in temperature `(DELTA T)`
`= 40-0-40 ^@C`
We KNOW that: Latent heat of melting of ice `=L=("melt")=80 cal//g` ,Specific heat of water `C_("w")=1 cal//g^@C`
To find, Heat supplied (Q)
Formulae: i Heat required to CONVENT ice at `0^@C` into water at `0^@C " is " Q_1=mL_("melt")`
ii. Heat required to raise temperature of water from `0^@C`to `40^@C` is
`Q_2= mxxC_w xx Delta T`
Calculation: From formula (i),
`Q_1=50 xx 1 xx (40-0)=2000` cal TOTAL heat energy required
`Q=Q_1+Q_2`
`=4000 +2000=6000 cal`

Let the period of revolution of a planet at a distance R from a star be T. Prove that if it was at a distance of 2R from the star, its period of revolation will be sqrt8T.

Answer»

Solution :`T= (2PI)/(SQRT(GM)) r^(3//2), ` where T = period of revolution of a planet around the sun, M= mass of the sun, G = GRAVITATIONAL constant and r = radius of the orbit assumed to be circular = distance of the planet from the sun.
For` r= R and T = T_(1)`
` T_(1) = (2pi)/(sqrt(GM)) R^(3//2)`
From r = 2 R and T = `T_(2)`
` T_(2) = (2pi)/(sqrt(GM)) (2R)^(3//2) = (2pi)/(sqrt(GM)) R^(3//2) xx 2^(3//2)= T_(1) xx 2^(3//2)`
` T_(2) = T_(1) sqrt(8) = sqrt(8)T`
