461.

Which of these is observed when air is pumped out of a discharge tube without lowering its pressure

A.

the conductivity of the air increases

B.

the conductivity of the air decreases

C.

conduction does not occur

D.

spark are produced

Correct answer is C

Conduction takes places in gases when air is pumped out of a discharged tube under reduced pressure.

The volume of 0.354g of helium at 273°C and 114cmhg of mercury pressure is 2667cm\(^3\). Calculate the volume

A.

2000.25 cm\(^3\)

B.

200.025 cm\(^3\)

C.

4003.27 cm\(^3\)

D.

2010.25 cm\(^3\)

Correct answer is A

m = 0.354g, T\(_1\) = 273°C = 273 + 273 = 576K
P\(_1\) = 114cmHg, V\(_1\) = 2667cm\(^3\) at STP
T\(^2\) = 273K, P\(_2\) = 76cmHg, V\(_2\) = ?

P\(^1\)V\(^1\)
T\(^1\)
= P\(^2\)V\(^2\)
T\(^1\)

 

V\(_2\) = 114 × 2667 × 273
76 × 576
= 2000.25cm\(^3\)

463.

When two objects A and B are supplied with the same quantity of heat, the temperature change in A is obtained to be twice that of B. The mass of A is half that of B. The ratio of the specific heat capacity of A to B is

A.

1 : 4

B.

4 : 1

C.

1 : 1

D.

2 : 1

Correct answer is C

θA = 2θ\(_{B}\),

m\(_A\) = 1
2
m\(_B\)


H = MCθ
m\(_A\)c\(_A\)θ\(_A\) = m\(_B\)c\(_B\)θ\(_B\)
( 1/2 m\(_B\))C\(_A\) (2θ\(_B\)) = m\(_B\)c\(_B\)θ\(_B\)

 

C\(_A\)
C\(_B\)
= 1
1
 


⇒ 1 : 1

The following are some units
I. Ns
II. Non
III. Nm\(^{-2}\)
IV. J°K\(^{-1}\)
V. JKg\(^{-1}\)
What are the units of latent heat?

A.

I

B.

II

C.

III

D.

V

Correct answer is D

Latent heat or specific latent heat = L

Heat energy = mL or L = H
m
= energy
mass

A boy pushes a 500kg box along a floor with a force of 2000N. If the velocity of the box is uniform, the co-efficient of friction between the box and the floor is

A.

1

B.

0.8

C.

0.65

D.

0.4

Correct answer is D

m = 500kg, W = mg = 500 × 10 = 5000N
F = 2000N

μ   = Force at constant velocity
weight
= 2000
5000
= 0.4
