231.

If the attraction of the sun is suddenly ceased, the earth would continue to move in a straight line making a tangent with the original orbit. This statement is derived from Newton's

A.

First law of motion

B.

Second law of motion

C.

Third law of motion

D.

Law of universal gravitation

Correct answer is A

Newton's First law of motion describes the straight motion of a body.

232.

Which of the following characteristics of a wave is used in the measurement of the depth of the Sea?

A.

diffraction

B.

interference

C.

refraction

D.

reflection

Correct answer is D

Depth of sea can be measured by echo, a reflected sound waves.

233.

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.

234.

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\(^3\)

235.

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\(_B\)
