302.

According to Newton's law of cooling, the heat energy lost per unit area of a body depends on the

I. Surface area

II. Nature of the surface

III. Temperature of the surface

IV. Excess temperature over the surroundings

A.

I and II only

B.

II and IV only

C.

I,II and III

D.

I, II and IV

Correct answer is C

The rate of cooling of liduid according to Newton's law of cooling depends on:

- Temperature of the liquid

- Temperature of the enclosure

- The area of the exposed surface

- The nature and extent of the surface of the containing vessel

303.

A body is projected with an initial velocity u at angle θ to the horizontal. If Rmax is the maximum range of the projectile, what does the relation u2Rmax represent?

A.

The vertical distance covered

B.

Acceleration due to gravity

C.

The horizontal distance covered

D.

The acceleration of the body

Correct answer is B

Rmax=u2g

Hence, g=u2Rmax

304.

Which of the following quantities are dimensionally independent?

I. Dielectric constant    II. Momentum   III. Efficiency   IV. Refractive index

A.

I and II

B.

II, III and IV

C.

I, II, III and IV

D.

I, III and IV

Correct answer is D

The quantities Efficiency, Dielectric constant and Refractive index are dimensionless.

305.

A block is acted upon by TWO horizontal forces as illustrated in the diagram above. The block accelerates at 1.5ms2. Calculate the mass of the block.

A.

6kg

B.

9kg

C.

10kg

D.

15kg

Correct answer is A

Total force exerted on the block = (10 - 1)N =9N

Force = mass x acceleration

9 = m x 1.5

m = 9/1.5 = 6kg
