Wind is blowing in the north direction at speed of 2 m/s which causes the rain to fall at some angle with thevertical. With what velocity should a cyclist drive so that the rain appears vertical to him(A) 2 m/s due south(C) 4 m's due north44.(B) 2 m/s due north(D) 4 m/s due south |
Answer» If the rain is falling slant at some angle with the vertical. Then if the cyclist has to feel the rain is falling vertically he has to move with the same horizontal velocity. Therefore the velocity of the cyclist should be2 m/s in north direction. Hopethis informationwill clear your doubtsabout the topic. If you have any more doubts just ask here on the forum and our expertswilltry to help you out as soon as possible. |

6. What is Joule's heating effect? List its four applications in daily life. |
Answer» According to Joule's law of heating, the heat produced in a wire is directly proportional to (1) Square of current (I^) (2) Resistance of wire (R) (3) Time (t), for which current is passed. i.e., Heat producted, H = I^2 X t Joules. Applications in daily life : (1) The heating effect of current is utilised in the working of electric heating appliances such as electric iron, electric kettle, electric toaster, electric oven, room heaters, geysers, etc. (2) The heating effect of electric current is utilised in electric bulbs. (3) The heating effect of electric current is utilised in electric fuse for protecting household wiring and electrical appliances. (4) The heating effect of electric current is utilised in laundry iron. |

Define time-period and frequency. Give their S.I unit. |
Answer» A time period (denoted by 'T' ) is the time needed for one complete cycle of vibration to pass in a given point. As the frequency of a wave increases, the time period of the wave decreases. The SI unit for time period is seconds. Frequency, the number of waves that pass a fixed point in unit time; also, the number of cycles or vibrations undergone during one unit of time by a body in periodic motion. The symbols most often used for frequency are f and the Greek letters nu (ν) and omega (ω).The SI derived unit of frequency is the hertz (Hz), named after the German physicist Heinrich Hertz. One hertz means that an event repeats once per second. For periodic motion,frequencyisthenumber of oscillations per unittime.Therelationship betweenfrequencyandperiodis.The SIunit forfrequencyisthe cycleper second, which isdefinedto be a hertz (Hz): Acycleis one complete oscillation. |

What happens when Pluto(Dwarf Planet) heats and fire up like sun? |
Answer» The possibility of that is highly unlikely as the sun is so hot due to the nuclear fusion going on. Pluto doesn't have the materials for that to occur.In case it occurs, Pluto will be totally destroyed and the resulting heat will probably destroy neighbouring planets too. |

A ball thrown vertically upwards with a speed of 19.6 ms-1 from the top of a tower returns to earth in 6 sCalculate the height of the tower |
Answer» u = 19.5 m/s t = 5 sec g = 9.8 m/s² Total distance covered while going up = S total distance covered while coming down = h+S At topmost point v = 0 v = u - gt 0 = 19.5 - 10 (9.8) t = 2 sec (appx) Now, The velocity of ball when it falls down a distance S after reaching topmost height (h+S) will be same as initial velocity (calculate yourself), and the time taken will again be 2 sec. So, total time elapsed = time for going up S + time for coming down S = 2+2 = 4 sec Total time = 5 sec Remaining time = 5-4 = 1 sec here u = 19.5 m/s(downwards) , t = 1 sec h = ut + 1/2 g t² h = 19.5 (1) + 1/2 (9.8) (1) = 19.5 + 4.9 = 24.4 m thankyou |

A ball is thrown vertically upwards. It goes toa height 20 m and then returns to theground. Taking acceleration due to gravity g tobe 10 m s2, find :(a) the inital velocity of the ball(b) the final velocity of the ball on reachingthe ground and(c) the total time of journey of the ball. |
Answer» A) The initial velocity of the ball is 20m/s :As it reaches a maximum height of 20mand the acceleration is 10m/s^2. So in order to reach a height of 20m ,with an acc. in opp. direction it has to move with 20m/s b) 20m/sAs the velocity of any object thrown upward with some speed lands on the ground with the sane speed c) use v=u+at0=20-10t »t=2 secbut this is the time it reach the max. heightso it will take 2 more sec to reach ground» Time = 4 sec |

Answer Type Question(a) What are fossil fuels ? Give three examples of fossil fuels. |
Answer» Afossil fuelis afuelformed by natural processes, such asanaerobic decompositionof buried deadorganisms, containing energy originating in ancientphotosynthesis. The age of the organisms and their resulting fossil fuels is typically millions of years, and sometimes exceeds 650 million years. Fossil fuels contain high percentages ofcarbonand includepetroleum,coal, andnatural gas. Other commonly used derivatives includekeroseneandpropane. Fossil fuels range fromvolatilematerials with lowcarbontohydrogenratios likemethane, to liquids like petroleum, to nonvolatile materials composed of almost pure carbon, likeanthracitecoal. Methane can be found inhydrocarbonfields either alone, associated withoil, or in the form ofmethane clathrates. Like my answer if you find it useful! |

10. If a body is thrown vertically upward, its velocity will decreases. Why? |
Answer» A body is thrown vertically upwards. Its velocity keeps on decreasing. What happens to its kinetic energy as its velocity becomes zero. When a body is thrown vertically upward its velocity continuously decreases, kinetic energy also decreases and potential energy increases due to increase in height. |

a stone is thrown vertically upward with a initial velocity of 5m|s find the maximum's distance |
Answer» U= 5 m/sv= 0 m/s (since we need to find maximum height)a= -9.8 m/s^2s= (v^2 - u^2)/2a= (0-25)/-19.6 = -25/19.6 = 1.27mThus the maximum height reached by the stone is 1.27m. |

LEVEL-2EAMPLE s Aand B are friends and their ages differ by 2 years. A's father D is twice as old asnt es frvice as old as his sister C. The age of D and C differ by 40 years. Find the age |
Answer» let the age of A = x age of B = x+2 since, A's father D is twice as old as ASo, age of D = 2×x = 2x and since B is twice as old as his sisterSo, age of C = age of B / 2 = (x+2)/2 according to the question,The age of D and C differ by 40yrs.it means, age of D - age of C = 40 => 2x - [(x+2)/2] = 40 => 2x - (x+2)/2 = 40 => 4x/2 - (x+2)/2 = 40 => (4x - x + 2)/2 = 40 => 3x+2/2 = 40 => 3x + 2 = 40 × 2 => 3x = 80 - 2 => x = 78/3= 26 So, age of A = x = 26yr.s age of B = x + 2 = 26 + 2 = 28yr.s |

Answer» | |
96. |
wire sstress x strain.Q19 Show that strain energy per unit volume of strained2to an ammeter. Derive ne |
Answer» We know, Young's modulus is the ratio of stress to strain. e.g., Y = stress/strain.if we assume a wire of length L, area of cross section A is fixed at one end and stretched by suspended a load M from the other end due to this extension of wire is x. so, Young's modulus of wire , Y = FL/Ax or, F = YAx/L we know, workdone , W = F.dx so, W = (YAx/L)dxor, W = 1/2 × YAx²/L W = 1/2 × {YAx/L} × x W = 1/2 × F × x hence, Work done = 1/2 × load × extension now, potential energy = workdone by external applied force = 1/2 × load × extension.so, strain energy = 1/2 × load × extensionnow, strain energy per unit volume = 1/2 × load × extension/volume = 1/2 × load × extension/(cross section area × length)= 1/2 × (load/cross section area) × (extension/length)= 1/2 × stress × strain hence, energy per unit volume = 1/2 × stress × strain |

9. A car has to cover the distance 60 km. If half of thetotal time, it travels with velocity 80 km/hr and inrest half time, its speed becomes 40 km/hr, then theaverage speed of car will be(1) 60 km/hr(3) 120 km/hr(2) 80 km/hr(4) 180 km/hr |
Answer» The problem can be solved by two methods Method 1 : Vav= 80 + 40 / 2 = 120/2 = 60 km /h Method 2 : Let the half time intervals be t Therefore 60 = 80t + 40t t=1/2 total time = 1/2*2 = 1hr vav= Total distance / Total time = 60 / 1 = 60 km/h |
