Transverse elastic waves can propagate –
- A.
Both in a gas and a metal
- B.
In a gas but not in a metal
- C.
In a metal but not in a gas
- D.
Neither in a gas nor in a metal
Correct Answer
C. In a metal but not in a gasExplanation
Transverse elastic waves can propagate in a metal but not in a gas. This is because transverse waves require a medium with sufficient elasticity to allow the particles to move perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation. Metals have a high degree of elasticity due to the arrangement of their atoms, allowing transverse waves to propagate. On the other hand, gases do not have a fixed structure and their particles are not tightly bound, resulting in low elasticity and the inability to support transverse waves.Rate this question:

A person trying to lose weight by burning fat lifts a mass of 10 kg upto a height of 1 m 1000 times. Assume that the potential energy lost each time he lowers the mass is dissipated. How much fat will he use up considering the work done only when the weight is lifted up? Fat supplies 3.8 × 107 J of energy per kg which is converted to mechanical energy with a 20% efficiency rate. Take g = 9.8 ms–2 :-
- A.
12.89 × 10–3 kg
- B.
9.89 × 10–3 kg
- C.
2.45 × 10–3 kg
- D.
6.45 × 10–3 kg
Correct Answer

Work done against gravity = (mgh) 1000
in lifting 1000 times
= 10 × 9.8 × 103

A particle is executing linear simple harmonic motion amplitude A. What fraction of the total energy is kinetic when the displacement is half the amplitude.
- A.
1/2
- B.
1/4
- C.
3/4
- D.
2
Correct Answer
C. 3/4Explanation
When the displacement is half the amplitude in linear simple harmonic motion, the particle is at its maximum speed. At this point, the kinetic energy is at its maximum value. The total energy of the system remains constant throughout the motion. Therefore, if the kinetic energy is at its maximum, the potential energy must be at its minimum. Since the total energy is the sum of kinetic and potential energy, and the potential energy is at its minimum, the fraction of the total energy that is kinetic is the maximum value, which is 3/4.Rate this question:

Angular momentum of the particle rotating with a central force is constant due to
- A.
Constant Force
- B.
Constant linear momentum.
- C.
Zero Torque
- D.
Constant Torque
Correct Answer
C. Zero TorqueExplanation
The angular momentum of a particle rotating with a central force is constant due to zero torque. Torque is the rotational equivalent of force, and it is the product of the force applied and the perpendicular distance from the axis of rotation. In the case of a central force, the force always acts along the radial direction, which means the perpendicular distance is zero. As a result, the torque exerted on the particle is zero, leading to a constant angular momentum.Rate this question:

Which base is present in RNA but not in DNA?
- A.
Uracil
- B.
Thymine
- C.
Guanine
- D.
Cytosine
Correct Answer
A. UracilExplanation
RNA and DNA are both nucleic acids that play a role in genetic information storage and transmission. They are made up of nucleotides, which consist of a sugar, a phosphate group, and a nitrogenous base. While DNA contains the bases adenine (A), thymine (T), guanine (G), and cytosine (C), RNA replaces thymine with the base uracil (U). This difference in bases is due to the fact that RNA is a single-stranded molecule, while DNA is double-stranded. Uracil pairs with adenine in RNA, just like thymine pairs with adenine in DNA. Therefore, the correct answer is Uracil.Rate this question:

- C.
Rate of formation of C is twice the rate of disappearance of A
- D.
T1/2 is a constant
Correct Answer
B. Values of k is independent of the initial concentration of A and BExplanation
The correct statement in relation to this reaction is that the values of k is independent of the initial concentration of A and B. This means that the rate constant, k, remains the same regardless of the initial concentrations of A and B. The rate equation, rate = k[A][B], indicates that the rate of the reaction is directly proportional to the concentrations of A and B, and the rate constant, k, represents the proportionality constant.

Identify the correct statement regarding a spontaneous process
- A.
For a spontaneous process in an isolated system, the change in entropy is positive
- B.
Endothermic processes are never spontaneous
- C.
Exothermic processes are always spontaneous
- D.
Lowering of energy in the reaction process is the only criterion for spontaneity
Correct Answer
A. For a spontaneous process in an isolated system, the change in entropy is positiveExplanation
A spontaneous process in an isolated system is characterized by an increase in entropy. This means that the disorder or randomness of the system tends to increase over time. The statement implies that in a spontaneous process, the change in entropy is positive. It is important to note that while a positive change in entropy is a criterion for spontaneity, it is not the only criterion. Other factors such as energy changes and temperature also play a role in determining whether a process is spontaneous or not.Rate this question:
