306.

The ice point on the absolute scale of temperature is

A.

0K

B.

32K

C.

100K

D.

273K

Correct answer is A

The absolute zero of the scale of temperature being the ice point of the absolute scale of temperature is 0K, which is -273°C.

A football is kicked at an angle of 45° to the horizontal over a defense line up with a velocity of 15\(ms^{-1}\). Calculate the magnitudeof horizontal velocity of the ball at its highest point  [Neglect friction, g = 10\(ms^{-2}\)].

A.

0.0\(ms^{-1}\)

B.

5.6\(ms^{-1}\)

C.

10.6\(ms^{-1}\)

D.

15.0\(ms^{-1}\)

Correct answer is C

The horizontal component of velocity, \(V_{x}\), is unaffected by the acceleration of free fall and remains constant.

\(V_{x} = U_{x} = Ucos\theta\)

= \(15 \times cos45 = 15\times 0.7071\)

\(\approxeq 10.6ms^{-1}\)

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

A body is projected with an initial velocity u at angle \(\theta\) to the horizontal. If \(R_{max}\) is the maximum range of the projectile, what does the relation \(\frac{u^{2}}{R_{max}}\) 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

\(R_{max} = \frac{u^{2}}{g}\)

Hence, \(g = \frac{u^{2}}{R_{max}}\)
