Which of the following statements about friction is NOT correct?

A.

The force of kinetic friction is less than the force of static friction

B.

The force of kinetic friction between two surfaces is independent of the areas in contact provided the normal reaction is unchanged

C.

The force of rolling friction between two surfaces is less than the force of sliding friction

D.

The angle of friction is the angle between the normal reaction and the force of friction

E.

Friction may be reduced by lubrication

Correct answer is D

- Static Friction is friction which is experienced when an object is placed on a surface. And, Kinetic friction is due to the movement of an object on a surface.

- Static friction is greater than kinetic friction because there are more forces at work keeping an object stationary than there are forces working to resist an object once it is in motion.

- Rolling friction is the weakest type of friction, static being the strongest. The frictional force depends on the area of contact between the two bodies. As the area of contact is less in rolling friction than the sliding friction, so rolling friction is weaker than sliding friction.

In a resonance tube experiment, a tube fixed length is closed at one end and several tuning forks of increasing frequency used to obtain resonance at the open end. If the tuning fork with the lowest frequency which gave resonance had a frequency f1 and the next tuning fork to give resonance had a frequency f2, find the ratio \(\frac{f^2}{f^1}\).

A.

8

B.

3

C.

2

D.

\(\frac{1}{2}\)

E.

\(\frac{1}{3}\)

Correct answer is B

\(\lambda_1\) = 4L1 and \(\lambda_2\) = -L1

F\(\lambda\) = velocity

F1 x \(\lambda_1\) = F2 x
\(\lambda_2\) ; F1 x 4\(\lambda_1\) = F2 x -\(\lambda_2\)

= \(\frac{F_2}{F_1}\) = 3

A galvanometer of resistance 5.0Ω has full-scale deflection for a current of 100mA. How would its range be extended to 1.0A? By placing a resistance of

A.

\(\frac{5}{9}\)\(\Omega\) in parallel

B.

\(\frac{9}{5}\)\(\Omega\) in series

C.

45\(\Omega\) in parallel

D.

45\(\Omega\) in series

E.

\(\frac{9}{5}\)\(\Omega\) in parallel

Correct answer is A

Given Data:
I\(_g\) = 100ma = 0.1A
R\(_g\)=5
where I\(_s\) = I - I\(_g\) → 1 - 0.1

I\(_s\) = 0.9

I\(_g\)R\(_g\) = I\(_s\)R\(_s\)


0.1 * 5 = 0.9 * R\(_s\)
R\(_s\) = \(\frac{0.1 * 5}{0.9}\)

R\(_s\) = \(\frac{5}{9}\)
