The mass of an empty density bottle is 50 g. When it is completely filledwith water, its mass is foundto be 100 g and when itiscompletly filledwith aliquid,its mass is 150 g. The density of the liquid is "_________" kg m^(-3).

Answer»

(a) 2
(B) 2000
(C ) 3.5
(d) 3500

Solution :Mass of the empty density bottle, `m_(1)` = 50 " g "
Mass of the bottle with water, `m_(2)` = 100 " g "
Mass of the bottle with liquid, `m_(3)` = 150 " g "
Volume, V=dxxm = 1XX 50 = 50 " " `cm^(3)`
Density of liquid = "mass " of" liquid"/"volume " of " liquid"
`(m_(3)-m_(1))/V=(150-50)/(100-50)`
`100/50=2 " g "cm^(-3)`= 2000 " kg "m^(-3)`

What happens when a glass rod is rubbed against a silk cloth?

Answer»

the glass and actuires a positive charge DUE to LOSS of electrons.
the silk CLOTH acquires negative charges due to gain of electrons.
if these two bodies are again brought in CONTACT the net charge on them is zero.
All the above.

Solution :We KNOW that, a body which losses electrons acquires a positive charge and a body which gains electronsacquires a negative charge. And when these two charged bodies are brought in contact again, the net charge will be zero, due to neutralization of charge.

Answer»

RETRACES its PATH
passes through center of curvature
makes zero angle with the normal.
All the above.

Solution :The light ray which is incident along the PRINCIPAL axis of a mirror falls normally on the mirror, and hence, it retraces its path.

From the figure it is clear that is passes through the centre of curvature.
As the line passing through the centre of curvature is PERPENDICULAR to the mirror, the angle made by the light ray with the normal is zero.

Saket was repairing an electric bell. By mistake, instead of an electromagnet, he placed a permanent magnet in the electric bell. Explain, what changes do you observe.

Answer»

Solution :Electromagnets are used in ELECTRIC bells. When current passes through the coil, the electromagnet attracts a metallic PLATE. The hammer attached to this metallic plate hits this gong and produces sound. When the plate is attracted by the electromagnet, it breaks the circuit and the electromagnet stops work-ing as a magnet and after hitting the gong, the plateretains its contact with contact scre. INSTEAD of an electromagnet, if we USE a NORMAL magnet, the metal-lic plate cannot regin its original contact.

In case of an incense stick or an agrbati the smoke at the lighted end of stick moves in upward direction it is because

Answer»

the cool air below the LIGHTED end moves to take the place of hot air above the lighted end
the air at the hot ends is more dense
it is natural for the smoke to move up
the smoke is repelled by the gravity of earth

Solution :In case of an INCENSE STICK the air at the lighted end is hot and hence volume INCREASE and density decrease so it rises up (moves up)
the air at the hot end is ata higher temperatureso its density is LESS and this lesser dense air rises up and more dense air occupies this place so it is due to convection of gases
