Which of the following is an essential physical property of the wires uses for making fuses ?

A.

Low density

B.

Hypothermal conductivity

C.

Low electrical resistivity

D.

Low melting point

Correct answer is D

Fuse wires have a low melting point so that if a huge amount of current is passed through it to any appliance than that wire would melt and stop the appliance from getting damaged by not letting the current pass any further.

A man hears his echo from a nearby hill 2s after he shouted. If the frequency of his voice is 260Hz and the wavelength is 1.29m, how far away is the hill?

A.

330.0m

B.

335.4m

C.

660.0m

D.

670.8m

Correct answer is B

Recall V = F × \(\lambda\)

= 260 × 1.29

= 335.4ms\(^{-1}\)

Echo time = \(\frac{2}{2}\) = 1 sec

Distance = v x t = 335.4 x 1

= 335.4m

A solid cube of side 50cm and mass 75kg floats in a liquid with \(\frac{1}{3}\) of its height above the liquid surface. The relative density of the liquid is?

A.

0.33

B.

0.50

C.

0.67

D.

0.90

Correct answer is D

 = \(\frac{2}{3}\)(0.5)\(^3\)

  Mass of liquid displaced = mass of floating cube = 75kg

  Density of liquid = \(\frac{mass}{volume}\)

  = \(\frac{75}{(\frac{7}{3(0.5)})}\)  × 3

  = 0.9 × 103kgm\(^{-3}\)

  R.D of liquid = \(\frac{(0.9 )}{(1.0)}\) × 103

  = 0.9

349.

Which of the following concepts is not an evidence of the particles nature of matter?

A.

Diffusion

B.

Brownian motion

C.

Diffraction

D.

Esterification

Correct answer is D

Diffusion is the net movement of molecules/atoms from a region of high concentration to low concentration.

  Brownian motion is the erratic random movement of microscopic particles in a field.

  Diffraction is the various phenomena that occur when a wave encounters an obstacle.

350.

The product of force and time is?

A.

Impulse

B.

Momentum

C.

Inertia

D.

Friction

Correct answer is A

An impulse is equal to the net force on the object times the time period over which this force is applied. Impulse is derive from the equation F = ma, which comes from Newton's second law of motion
