  • Question 1/10
    1 / -0

    A train travelling at 72 kmph has to be brought to rest within a distance of 200 metres. The required retardation is

    Solutions

    u = 72 kmph = 72 x 5/18 = 20 m/s

    u = 20 m/s, v = 0, s = 200 m

    v2= u2- 2as

    2as = 400

    a = 400/400 = 1 m/s2

  • Question 2/10
    1 / -0

    In the figure given below, curves AB and CD represent the relation between pressure P and volume V of an ideal gas. Which of the following curves represent(s) an adiabatic expansion?

    Solutions

    For isothermal expansion PV = constant. Partially differentiating we have,

    VP+PV=0

    or, PV=-PV

    For adiabatic expansionPVy=constant. Partially differentiating we have,

    VyP+YVr-1VP=0

    or, PV=-YPV

    Thus, the slope at any point on the adiabatic curve is y times that for isothermal curve. Hence curve CD represents adiabatic expansion.

  • Question 3/10
    1 / -0

    Directions:In the following question, Statement - 1 (Assertion) is followed by Statement - 2 (Reason). The question has the following four choices, out of which only one choice is correct.

    Statement - 1:The figure shows the current-voltage (I – V) graph for a given metallic wire at two different temperatures T1and T2. It follows from the graph that T2is greater than T1.

    Statement - 2: The resistance of a metallic conductor increases with increase in temperature.

    Solutions

    The correct choice is (1). From Ohm's law, the slope of the I–V graph gives the reciprocal of the resistance of the wire. Since the slope of the graph is smaller at temperature T2, the resistance of the wire is greater at temperature T2 than at temperature T1. Hence, T2 is greater than T1.

  • Question 4/10
    1 / -0

    A spherical surface of radius of curvature R separates air (refractive index 1.0) from glass (refractive index 1.5). The centre of curvature is in the glass. A point object P placed in air is found to have a real image Q in the glass. The line PQ cuts the surface at point O and PO = OQ. The distance PO is equal to

    Solutions

    Using the formula for a spherical surface,

    μau+μzv=μz-μaR

    We have1.0u+1.5u=1.5-1.0RSincev=u

    Which gives u = 5R. Hence the correct option is (1).

  • Question 5/10
    1 / -0

    Two water droplets coalesce to form a large drop. In this process,

    Solutions

    When a big drop breaks up into smaller drops, the total surface area of the smaller drops is more than the surface area of the big drop. The increase in the surface area can be brought about by supplying energy. Thus, a big drop has to absorb energy to break up into smaller drops. On the other hand, when smaller drops coalesce to form a big drop, there is a decrease in the surface area.

  • Question 6/10
    1 / -0

    An unknown resistance R1 is connected in series with a resistance of 10Ω . This combination is connected to one gap of a metre bridge, while a resistance R2 is connected in the other gap. The balance point is at 50 cm. Now, when the 10Ω resistance is removed, the balance point shifts to 40 cm. The valve of R1 is (in ohms)

    Solutions

    The balance condition of a metre bridge experiment,

    =RS=l1100-l1

    Hence :R=R1,S=R2

    R1R2=l1100-l1

    Ist Case;R1+10R2=5050

    R1+10=R2...........(1)

    IInd Case;

    R2=4060R1.............(2)

    So, equations (1) and (2) give

    R1+10=4060R1

    6040R1-R1=10

    2040R1=10

    R1=10×4020

    R1=20Ω

    An ideal gas heat engine operates in a Carnot's cycle between 227 × C and 127 × C. It absorbs 6 x 104 J heat at high temperature. The amount of heat converted into work is

    Solutions

    Efficiency=1-T2T1

    =1-400500=15

    Work=15×heatprovided

    =15×6×104J

    =1.2×104J

  • Question 8/10
    1 / -0

    A telescope has an objective lens of focal length 200 cm and an eye piece of focal length 2 cm. If this telescope is used to see a 50 m tall building at a distance of 2 km, what is the height of the image of the building formed by the objective lens ?

    Solutions

  • Question 9/10
    1 / -0

    Two blocks of masses m1 = 5 kg and m2 = 6 kg are connected by a light string passing over a light frictionless pulley as shown in the figure. The mass m1 is at rest on the inclined plane and mass m2 hangs vertically. If the angle of inclination is θ = 30°, what is the magnitude and direction of the force of friction on the 5 kg block? Take g = 10 ms–2.

    Solutions

    Weight of massm2=6×10=60N.The weight ofm2provides the tension. Thus,
    T = 60 N
    Opposing this force along the plane is the componentF1=m,gsinθof the force m,g. NowF1=m,gsinθ=5×10×sin30o=25N.SinceF1is less than T and is, therefore, insufficient to balance T (see Fig.), the force of friction (f) down the plane is necessary to keep blockm1at the rest, the net force onm1along the plane must be zero. Thus,

    T-m,gsin30o-f=0
    or,f=T-m,gsin30o
    =60-5×10×sin30o
    =60-25-35N

    Hence, the correct choice is (2).

  • Question 10/10
    1 / -0

    An engine has an efficiency of 1/6. When the temperature of the sink is reduced by 62oC, its efficiency is doubled. The temperature of the source is

    Solutions

    Maximum efficiency of an engine working between temperatures T2and T1is given by the fraction of the heat absorbed by the engine, which can be converted into work.

    Mathematically,

    Efficiency, η = (T2– T1)/T2= 1/6

    6 T2- 6 T1= T2

    Therefore, T2= 1.2 T1………………….. (1)

    Where T2is the source temperature and T1is the sink temperature

    If the sink temperature (T1) is reduced by 62oC, then the efficiency gets doubled, i.e.

    η = T2– (T1– 62)/T2= 2 x 1/6 = 2/6

    6T2– 6T1+ 372 = 2T2

    6T2– 2T2– 6T1+ 372 = 0

    4T2– 6T1+ 372 = 0

    Substituting the value of T2from equation (1), we get

    4(1.2 T1) – 6T1+ 372 = 0

    4.8T1– 6T1+ 372 = 0

    372 = 1.2T1

    T1= 310 K

    Therefore, T2= 1.2 x 310 = 372 K

    Hence, the temperatures of the source and the sink are 372 K and 310 K, respectively.

    Source temperature = 372 - 273 = 99oC
