Answer : 4. "increases with increase of temperature"
Explanation :

Answer: D) increases with increase of temperature Explanation: Kinetic Energy K.E = 12mV2  or  K.E ∝V2, Where 'm' is the mass and 'v' is the velocity of molecules.   Velocity is proportional to temperature. Hence, KE is proportional to temperature and would increase with temperature.

Answer : 3. "necessary centripetal force may be available from the horizontal component of the normal reaction due to the track to maintain the curved motion."
Explanation :

Answer: C) necessary centripetal force may be available from the horizontal component of the normal reaction due to the track to maintain the curved motion. Explanation: No circular or curved motion is possible without providing the necessary centripetal force. (C) provides this and so is the answer.

Answer : 3. "acceleration"
Explanation :

Answer: C) acceleration Explanation: This acceleeration denoted by letter g varies from place to place. Unless stated otherwise, it can be taken 9.8 m/s2.

Q: A boy is swinging a ball attached to a string in a horizontal circle.If the string snaps 1756 0

  • 1
    the ball will travel towards the center of the circle and fall down
    Correct
    Wrong
  • 2
    it will continue to travel along a tangent to the circle at the point the ball was at the time of snapping and finally fall down
    Correct
    Wrong
  • 3
    it will fall down at the same place where the string breaks
    Correct
    Wrong
  • 4
    none of these

Answer : 2. "it will continue to travel along a tangent to the circle at the point the ball was at the time of snapping and finally fall down"
Explanation :

Answer: B) it will continue to travel along a tangent to the circle at the point the ball was at the time of snapping and finally fall down Explanation: The centripetal force having  been removed the body cannot execute the curved path. (B) is Correct.

Q: If a body weighs 12N on the surface of the earth, how much will it weigh on the surface of the moon where acceleration due to gravity is only one-sixth of that on earth's surface? 1362 0

  • 1
    12N
    Correct
    Wrong
  • 2
    2N
    Correct
    Wrong
  • 3
    10N
    Correct
    Wrong
  • 4
    6N
    Correct
    Wrong

Answer : 2. "2N"
Explanation :

Answer: B) 2N Explanation: Weight is mass x g. Since mass is constant and g is only 16thof that on the earth. The weight on the moon is only 16th of that on the earth.  Therefore 2N i.e (b) is the answer.

Q: If an empty cylinder is half filled with a liquid, its center of gravity is 2767 0

  • 1
    shifted upwards
    Correct
    Wrong
  • 2
    shifted downwards
    Correct
    Wrong
  • 3
    shifed neither upward nor downward
    Correct
    Wrong
  • 4
    shifted upward or downward depending on the density of the liquid
    Correct
    Wrong
  • Show AnswerHide Answer

Answer : 2. "shifted downwards"
Explanation :

Answer: B) shifted downwards Explanation: Effect of adding liquid is to make the cylinder more bottom heavy which is a more stable position

Q: A boat loaded with rocks floats in the middle of a swimming pool. A man in the boat throws the rocks overboard. The level of water in the pool will 1518 0

  • 1
    increase
    Correct
    Wrong
  • 2
    decrease
    Correct
    Wrong
  • 3
    remains the same
    Correct

  • 4
    first decrease and then increase
    Correct

Answer : 2. "decrease"
Explanation :

Answer: B) decrease Explanation: Let M and m grams be the mass of boat + rock in it. By law of floatation(M+m) grams of water will be displaced. This has a volume of (M+m)cc. That means the level of water in pool has risen up by (M+m)cc with the boat + rock when it is floating. If the rocks in the boat are thrown not into the pool but outside, the weight left is only M grams the weight of the boat. This will have displaced M cc of water only i.e less water than in the case of loaded boat. But if the rocks are put in the water in the pool and not outside, then the water in the pool will rise not only by M cc on account of empty boat but also by a volume of the stone put into it. This volume will be mdwhere m is the mass of rock and d density of rock. Now md is  < m. Thus the total rise will be M+mdwhich is < M + m.

Q: Pieces of camphor placed on water move about rapidly. This is because of 3440 0

  • 1
    diffusion

Answer : 3. "surface tension"
Explanation :

Answer: C) surface tension Explanation: The Camphor slowly dissolves in the water lowering the latter's surface tension in the immediate neighbourhood. The stronger pull exerted by the uncontaminated portion of water brings about a movement of the surface and the camphor particles are carried along with it. When after sometime the whole surface settles for the reduced tension, the movement of the camphor too short.
