Write the following statements in a sequential order to find the depth of the ocean bed by the using sonar . (A) The depth of the ocean bed can be found by d = (vt)/(2). (B) At the bottom of a ship two devices , one is transmitter which products ultrasonics and a receiver for the detection of the reflected ultrasonics from the ocean bed are fixed . (C) The velocity fo ultrasonics in ocean water is 'v' and the time taken to receive the reflected ultrasonics from the ocean bed be 'f'. (D) If the depth of ocean bed is 'd' , then v = (d + d)/(t) = (2d)/(t).

Answer»

a b C d
b a c d
d a c b
c b a d

Solution :From the given data, collect the total time taken, t = 4 s.
The distance travelled by sound `= 2 XX` (depth of the ocean bed).
Speed `= (2d)/(t) to (a)`
`d = (1500 xx t)/(2) = (1500 xx 4)/(2) = 3000 m = 3 km`
So, the depth of the ocean bed, (d) = 3 km.

In general, the voice of a woman has a higher frequency than that of a man.

Answer»


Solution :The frequency of VIBRATION determines the shrillness or pitch of any sound. If the frequency of vibration is low, we SAY that the sound has low pitch. If the frequency of vibration is high, we say that the sound has a high pitch.
In the CASE of WOMEN, the sound produced is high pitched. So, voice of women has a higher frequency than that of MEN.

Three persons P_(1), P_(2) and P_(3) are at different points A, B and C,as shown in the figure.P_(1) and P_(2) clap at the same time.For P_(3) to hear two distinct claps, the minimum distance betweenl P_(1) and P_(2) should be ______ m. (The velocity of sound in air is 330 ms^(-1))

Answer»

33
330
363
660

Solution :Human ear can hear two sounds separately only if they reach the ear after an INTERVAL of 1/10 of a second. So, the time taken by the sound from `P_(1)` to `P_(2)` should be GREATER than `1//10 s = 0.1 s.`
The distance between `P_(1)` and `P_(2)`
`= v XX t = 330 xx 0.1 = 33 m.`

A man is standing not exactly at the exactly at the centre, in between two parallel walls separated by a distance 990 m. He fires a gun and hears the first echo after 2 s, the time taken to hear 3rd echo after firing is ______ s. (take velocity of sound in air is 330 ms^(-1))

Answer»

5
7
6
8

Solution :He HEARS the first echo after 2 s. The distance between the 1st WALL and the man is
`d = v xx t = 330 xx 1 = 330 m.`
So, the distance between the man and 2ND wall is
`990 - 330 = 660 m.`
So, TIME taken for 2nd echo time `= ("distance")/("velocity") = (2 xx 660)/(330) = 4 s`
The 3rd and 4th echo reach at the same time.
Time taken for 3rd echo = time taken to hear the first echo + time taken to hear the 3rd echo
`= 2 + (2 xx 660)/(330) = 2 + 2 xx 2 = 6 s.`

A and B are two identical conducting rods. A is given positive charge and B is connectedto a cell as shown in the figure. Will there be any change in the electrostatic force between A and B if the switch is closed ?

Answer»

Solution :There will be no electrostatic FORCE between A and B. When switch is closed, electric current passes through B. The quantity of charge entering B is equal to the quanity of chargeleaving B making it electrically neutral . And as charges in B are in motion, ATTRACTION between A and B of electrostatic INDUCTION is negligible.

A physics student Ram was given an empty density bottle,a physical balance and a certain liquid. He first found the weight of empty density bottle to a be 50 gf When completely filled with a liquid, it weighs 130 gf. He calculated the density of the liquid. What could be his answer?

Answer»

Solution :Mass of the eempty bottle = 50 " g "
Mass of water = 100- 50= 50 " g "
Mass of the liquid = 130 - 50 = 80 " g "
VOLUME of the liquid = 50 " " `cm^(3) LTBR. (` :. Volume of 1 " g " water = 1 ML)`
Density of the liquid = `"mass"/"volume" = 80/50 = 1.6 " g " cm^(-3)`.

Do all bulbs we use work on the principle of heating effects of electric current ? Discuss.

Answer»

Solution :No, FILAMENT bulbs we use work on heatingeffect of electric current . In these bulbs, in ADDITION to light,LOT unwanted heat is alsogenerated and this results in thewastage of electricity. We have different types of bulbs, known as fluoresent tubelights which work on a different principle. By using them we can reduce wastage of current. COMPACT fluorescentlamps (CFI). also reduce wastage can be fixed in the ordinary bulbs holders.
