A sceince student in a science fair demonstrated the existence of water and ice in a same container at 0^(@)C and water and steam in a same closed container at 100^(@)C explain how is it possible to have two different states of matter at the same temperature

Answer»

Solution :When we SUPPLY heat energy to ice its temperature increase till reaches `0^(@)C` but CONTINUES to be ice only on further supply of heat energy there is no rise in temperature but ice converets into water at same `0^(@)C` temperature .Heat supplied is used for phasetransfor mation (State CHANG) only similarly wter at `100^(@)C` on supplying heat energy converts in to steam WITHOUT any change in temperauter .The heat absorbed is utilized only to change the state of matter from liquid state to gaseous state hence ice and waterexist in contact at `0^(@)C` and water and steam exist in contact at `100^(@)C`

Venkat wentto a factory workshop where he saw hot metallic square plats. He measured the surface area of the plats. How did he do it?

Answer»

Solution :If a metallic plate is hot, we cannot TAKE the READINGS by director, method. So, we use a divider to measure it. Adjust the screw of the divider and placce the pointed ends over the metallic plate and measure the DISTANCE between the two pointed NAILS by comparing it with a meters scale. This gies the length (l) of the side Now are can be determiened as `A=l^(2)`

What happens when a current carrying metallic comb is placed close to small iron filings?

Answer»

iron filings will fly AWAY from the COMB, when switch is turned off.
iron filings ALIGN in the direction of the magentic field produced around the METALLIC comb.
iron filings wil be attracted by the comb.
Both (a) and (b)

Solution :As the switch is turned ON, he current flows through the circuit and magnetic field will be produced around it. All iron filings wil align in the direction fo a magnetic field. But the metallic comb will not behave, like anelectro magnet, and hence, the iron filings will neither be attracted nor repelled.

A physiscs student performed an experiment by taking a beaker with 1 l of water oat 30^(@)C and dropping an iron sphere with temperature 90^(@)C in it .After sometime student tmeasure their equailibrium temperature as 48^(@)C .If the density of iron sphere is 7870 kg m^(-3) then find the volume of the iron sphere specifice heat of iron is 0.110 jcal g^(-1@)C^(-1)

Answer»

Solution :Mass of l of water =1 KG
`(Deltat)_(W)=48-30=180^(C )`
`(Deltat)_(iron) =90 -48=42^(@)C`
HEAT absorbed by water =Heat LOST (removed ) from iron
`((msDeltat_(w)))/((sDeltat_(iron)))((1000xx1xx18)/(0.110xx42))=3.896 kg`
density = `(mass)/(V)`
`V=(m)/(d)=(3.896)/(7870)=4.95xx10^(-4m^(3)`

Assertion (A): The volume ofa given mass of water is more at 0^(@)C when compared to water at 4^(@)C Reason (R ):Water expands when its temperature is incresed form 0^(@)C to 4^(@)C

Answer»

both a and r are true and r is the corret expantion of a
both a and rare true but r is not the correct explanation of a
a is true but r is false
both a and r are false

Solution :At `4^(@)C` water has minimum volume and MAXIMUM density . Which is expalined as anomalous expansion of water .So A is correct As the temperature of eater is increased from `0^(@)C` to `4^(@)C`it expands this is known as anomalous expansion of water hence water will OCCUPY more volume at `0^(@)C` than of `4^(@)C`

Why cannot a mirror whose surface is rough produce a clear image?

Answer»

Solution :The light that gets REFLECTED ata rough and uneven surface goes in different direction, due to irregular REFLECTION. This is the reason why a MIRROR WHOSE surface is rough cannot produce clear image. Any surface that is smooth can produce a clear image because of regular reflection that takes place at its surfaces.

Solution :Take a DRAWING borad ad paste a white paper on it. Fix a stationary object like tree on the other BANK of the stream and select two positions (say A and B) on the GROUND and measure the horizontal DISTANCE between them and note it as 'D' m. Fix the drawing board at 'A' with its edge DIRECTED along positions 'AB' and take two pins `(P_(1) and P_(2))` and fix them at one vertex of the board such that `P_(1),P_(2)` and tree are on theh sae straight line. Repeat the sae process at position 'B' with other two pins `(P_(3) and P_(4))` at other vertex of the drawing board. Extend these two straight lines and let them intersect at point 'P'. Complete the triangle with `P_(1),P_(3) and P`. let the distance between `P_1 and P_(3)` pins be 'd'. Then D/d gives the amount of distance for every one cm on the board. then the width of the river will be equal to the distance from the midpoint of `P_(1) and P_(3)` (let it be `P_(5)`) and P multiplied by D/d.
