Answer»
2.

The mass of a density bottle when it is filled with a liquid of density 3000 kg m^(-3)is 400 g and the mass of the bottle when it is filed with water is 200 g.The mass of the empty density bottlewhen it is filled with water is 200 g.The mass of the empty density bottle is "_____" g.

Answer»

10
100
50
500

Solution : Mass of the EMPTY bottle = `m_(1)`
Mass of the bottle with water, `m^(2)` = 200 g
Mass of he bottle with liquid, `m_(3)` =400 g
DENSITY of the liquid = `3000 " Kg "m_(-3) = 3 " g " CM^(-3)`
Density of liquid =`(m_(3)-m_(1))/(m^(2)-m_(1)`
`3=(400-m_(1))/(200-m_(1))`
`400-m_(1)=600-3m_(1)`
`2m_(1)= 200 " g ",m_(1)=100 " g "`.

Sandeep constructed a simple pendulum to find the value of 'g' at that place. He observed that the bob of a simple pendulum moves from the mean position to one of the extreme positions in 0.5 s. Using this he determined the (i) time period of the simple pendulum. (ii) number of oscillations the pendulum has under - gone in four seconds and (iii) the frequency of oscillation of the pendulum. What are his answers ?

Answer»

Solution :(i) Time period, is the time taken to complete one oscillation. One oscillation is one to and fromotion. Hence, time period `T = 0.5 xx 4 = 2 s.`
(II) As per the data given, the pendulum PERFORMS TWO OSCILLATIONS in 4 s.
(iii) Frequency of oscillation is `(n) = 1//T = (1)/(2s) = 0.5 Hz.`

A bus driver is observing the image of a car in his rear view (side) mirror. How does the size of the image change when the car approaches the bus?

Answer»

SOLUTION :The mirror used in vehicles as rear view mirror is convex. So, when the object is at a large distance from the mirror, image will be at the FOCUS, i.e., a diminsihed image is OBTAINED. When the object approaches nearer and nearer, the size of image increases. So, size of the image of car in the mirror GRADUALLY increases.

A positively charged body is brought in contact with the cap of gold leaf electroscope. Whose strips are netural , then

Answer»

postively charge flows from the body to the strips and both the strips ACQUIRE POSITIVE charge.
DUE to like CHARGED on strips , they arrract each other.
if a positively charged body is removed the gap between the strips decreases.
Both (a) and (c ).

Solution :When apositively charged body is brought in con-tact with the cap ofgold leaf electroscope, the charge flows from the body to thestrips through the con-ducting rod (brass rod), and hence both the strips acquire same positive charge. Due to the presence of the like CHARGES on strips, they will repel each other. When we remove the body from contact, the strips wil remain apart.

If the length, breadth and height of a cuboid are all increased to 'n'times their original values of 'n'.

Answer»

SOLUTION :Volume of the CUBOID = `length xx BREADTH xx HEIGHT`
Volume of the new cuboid
= `(n xx length) xx (n xx breadth) xx (n xx height)`
= `n^(3) ( length xxbreadth xx height)`
Density = `mass/volume`
`8/1=n^(3)/1,n^(3)=8, n=2`

Ram took an empty density bottle and a weighing machine. He measures the density bottle and a weighing machine. He measures the empty bottle and found it to be 40 .g. He then completely filled it with water and weighed it to be 100 g. With this data can he calculate the capacity of the density bottle? If so, what is its capacity

Answer»

Solution :The mass of the WATER = 100-40 = 60 g
DENSITY of water = `1 " g " cm^(-3)`Density = `"mass"/"volume" rArrVolume = "mass"/"density"`=`(60g)/ 1 " g" cm(-3)`
