2. When water freezes, it occupies 

Explanation

When water freezes, it expands and occupies 9% more space. This is due to the formation of ice crystals, which have a larger molecular structure compared to liquid water. As the water molecules arrange themselves in a more ordered pattern, they create empty spaces between them, leading to an increase in volume. This expansion is why ice floats on water, as its density decreases when it freezes.

3. Molarity of pure water is:

Explanation

The molarity of a solution is defined as the number of moles of solute per liter of solution. Pure water does not contain any solute, so its molarity is zero. However, in practice, pure water is slightly ionized into H+ and OH- ions. The concentration of these ions in pure water is very small, but it is still present. The concentration of H+ and OH- ions in pure water is equal and is approximately 1 x 10^-7 moles per liter. Since the molarity is defined as moles of solute per liter of solution, the molarity of pure water is equal to the concentration of H+ or OH- ions, which is approximately 1 x 10^-7 M. However, for simplicity, this value is often rounded to 1 x 10^-7 M, which is approximately equal to 55.5 M when rounded to two significant figures.

24. A coil is hung with ceiling of a room by the means of a thread. Suddenly, a bar magnet is introduced, then magnet with its north pole moves towards the coil. Then direction of induced current in the coil is:

Explanation

When a bar magnet is introduced near a coil, it creates a changing magnetic field. According to Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction, this changing magnetic field induces an electric current in the coil. The direction of the induced current can be determined using Lenz's law, which states that the induced current will flow in a direction that opposes the change in magnetic field. In this case, as the north pole of the magnet moves towards the coil, the induced current will flow in the opposite direction to the motion of the magnet, which is anti-clockwise.

42. The value of m for which equation (1+m)x2-2(1+3m)x+(1+8m)=0 has equal roots is:

Explanation

To find the value of m for which the equation has equal roots, we can use the discriminant. The discriminant of a quadratic equation ax^2+bx+c=0 is given by b^2-4ac. If the discriminant is equal to zero, the equation will have equal roots. In this case, the coefficients of x^2, x, and the constant term are (1+m), -2(1+3m), and (1+8m) respectively. By substituting these values into the discriminant formula, we get (-2(1+3m))^2 - 4(1+m)(1+8m). Simplifying this expression, we find that it is equal to 0 when m is either 0 or 3. Therefore, the correct answer is Both A & B.

46. A girl stands on the weighing scale placed in a stationary elevator.The scale reads 30 kg. The elevator is then activated to move from ground floor to 10th floor. As the lift moves from its stationary position on the ground floor until it comes to rest on 10th floor. The scale reading during this passage :

Explanation

As the elevator moves upwards, the girl experiences an increase in apparent weight due to the upward acceleration. This causes the scale reading to increase. Once the elevator reaches a constant velocity, the girl experiences a constant apparent weight and the scale reading remains constant. Finally, as the elevator decelerates to come to a stop on the 10th floor, the girl experiences a decrease in apparent weight, causing the scale reading to decrease. Therefore, the correct answer is C) first increases, then remains constant for some particular time and then again tends to decrease.

54. If two vectors u=ai-j+k and v=i-2j+bk are collinear then a+b=

Explanation

If two vectors are collinear, it means that they are parallel and can be expressed as scalar multiples of each other. In this case, we can write the two vectors as u = ai - j + k and v = i - 2j + bk. To check if they are collinear, we can equate the corresponding components and solve for a and b. Equating the i-component, we get a = 1. Equating the j-component, we get -1 = -2, which is not possible. Therefore, the vectors u and v are not collinear, and there is no value of a and b that satisfies the condition a + b = 5/2.

Submit
62. The function f(x)= x3/3 –x2/2 +5  has:  

Explanation

The given function is a cubic function, which means that it has a relative minimum or maximum point. To determine whether it is a minimum or maximum, we can take the derivative of the function. Taking the derivative of f(x) gives us f'(x) = x^2 - x. To find the critical points, we set f'(x) = 0 and solve for x. In this case, x = 0 and x = 1 are the critical points. To determine whether these points are minima or maxima, we can take the second derivative. The second derivative of f(x) is f''(x) = 2x - 1. Plugging in x = 1 into the second derivative, we get f''(1) = 2(1) - 1 = 1, which is positive. Therefore, x = 1 is a relative minimum.

64. Three similar light bulbs are connected to a constant DC supply as shown in the diagram. Each bulb operates at normal brightness and an ammeter of a negligible resistance registers a steady current. One more similar bulb is connected in parallel to the three bulbs. What happens to the ammeter reading and the brightness of the four bulbs?

Explanation

When an additional bulb is connected in parallel to the three existing bulbs, the total resistance in the circuit decreases. As a result, the current flowing through the circuit increases, leading to an increase in the ammeter reading. However, since the additional bulb is connected in parallel, it does not affect the current flowing through the original bulbs. Therefore, the brightness of the original bulbs remains unchanged.

The maximum acceleration of an object can be determined by finding the steepest slope on the velocity-time graph. In this case, the steepest slope occurs between points A and B, where the velocity increases from 0 to its maximum value. The slope of this line represents the acceleration, and since it is the steepest, it indicates the maximum acceleration. Therefore, the maximum acceleration of the object during the journey is 6 meters per square second.

68. The electrons in a cathode-ray tube are accelerated from the cathode to anode by a potential difference of 2000 V. If the potential difference is increased to 8000 V. the electrons will arrive at the anode with:  

Explanation

When the potential difference is increased from 2000 V to 8000 V, the kinetic energy of the electrons will increase. The kinetic energy of a charged particle is directly proportional to the square of its velocity. Therefore, if the potential difference is increased by a factor of 4, the velocity of the electrons will increase by a factor of 2. Since kinetic energy is proportional to the square of velocity, the kinetic energy will increase by a factor of 4. Thus, the electrons will arrive at the anode with four times the kinetic energy and twice the velocity.

69. A stone tied to one end of the string is revolved around a rod in such a way that the string winds over the rod and get shortened. In this process, which of the following quantities remains same?

Explanation

When a stone tied to a string is revolved around a rod and the string winds over the rod and gets shortened, the distance between the stone and the rod decreases. However, the angular momentum of the stone remains the same. Angular momentum is the product of the moment of inertia and the angular velocity, and since the moment of inertia remains constant in this scenario, the angular momentum also remains constant. Therefore, option D) Angular momentum is the correct answer.

70. A mass spring system executing Simple harmonic motion. Then for what displacement, the P.E becomes 1/4 of its maximum value?   Here, xo is taken as amplitude and x be displacement

Explanation

The potential energy (P.E) of a mass-spring system in simple harmonic motion is given by the equation P.E = (1/2)kx^2, where k is the spring constant and x is the displacement from the equilibrium position. The maximum value of P.E occurs when x is equal to the amplitude (xo).

To find the displacement at which the P.E becomes 1/4 of its maximum value, we can set up the equation (1/4)P.E = (1/2)kx^2 and solve for x. By rearranging the equation, we get x^2 = (1/4)(2P.E/k). Simplifying further, x^2 = (1/2)(P.E/k). Taking the square root of both sides, we get x = sqrt((1/2)(P.E/k)).

Since P.E is proportional to x^2, when P.E is 1/4 of its maximum value, x will be sqrt((1/2)(1/4)), which simplifies to xo/2. Therefore, the correct answer is B) x = xo/2.

71. A mass of liquid of density p is mixed with an equal mass of another liquid of density is 3p. The density of liquid mixture is:

Explanation

When two liquids of different densities are mixed together in equal masses, the density of the resulting mixture can be found by taking the average of the two densities. In this case, the density of the first liquid is p, and the density of the second liquid is 3p. Taking the average of these two densities gives us (p + 3p)/2 = 4p/2 = 2p. Therefore, the density of the liquid mixture is 2p, which is equal to option C) 3p/2.

76. The polar form of √2 - √ 2 i  is 

Explanation

The polar form of a complex number is expressed as r(cosθ + isinθ), where r is the magnitude and θ is the angle in radians. In this case, the given complex number √2 - √2i can be represented as 2cis315°. This is because the magnitude of the complex number is 2 (as √(2^2 + (-√2)^2) = 2), and the angle is 315° in the fourth quadrant (as tan^-1(-√2/2) = -45° + 360° = 315°). Therefore, the polar form is 2cis315°.

77. Water stands at Level B in the capillary tube as shown in the figure. If a jet of air is blown in the horizontal tube, then:

Explanation

When a jet of air is blown in the horizontal tube, it creates a decrease in pressure. This decrease in pressure will cause the water level in the capillary tube to rise above point B. This is because the decrease in pressure allows the atmospheric pressure to push the water up the tube, causing it to rise above its initial level.

80. The catalyst used in Haber's Process:

Explanation

The correct answer is D) Fe with MgO. In Haber's Process, iron catalysts are used to speed up the reaction between nitrogen and hydrogen to produce ammonia. Fe with MgO is a specific type of iron catalyst that is commonly used in this process. The presence of magnesium oxide (MgO) helps to increase the surface area of the catalyst, allowing for more efficient contact between the reactants and the catalyst. This promotes the formation of ammonia and enhances the overall reaction rate.

81. A solid sphere, a hollow sphere, a cylinder and a ring of the same radius are allowed to roll down from the same height. Assuming their masses to be equal which will reach last:

Explanation

The ring will reach last because it has the least moment of inertia compared to the other objects. Moment of inertia is a measure of an object's resistance to changes in its rotation. The ring has all of its mass concentrated at the outer edge, resulting in a smaller moment of inertia. This allows it to rotate more easily and reach the bottom last compared to the other objects which have their mass distributed differently.

82. The angle C of the triangle ABC in which (c+a+b) (a+b-c)=ba is

Explanation

The given equation can be simplified as (c+a+b)(a+b-c) = ba, which can be further expanded as (c^2 + a^2 + b^2 + 2ab + 2bc + 2ca - c^2 - a^2 - b^2 - ac - bc - ab) = ba. Simplifying further, we get 2ab + 2bc + 2ca - ac - bc - ab = ba. Rearranging the terms, we get 2ab + 2bc + 2ca - ac - bc - ab - ba = 0. Simplifying, we get 2ab + bc + ca - ac - bc = 0. Cancelling out the common terms, we get 2ab - ac = 0. Dividing both sides by 2a, we get b - c = 0. Therefore, b = c. In a triangle, angles opposite to equal sides are equal. So, angle C = angle B. Since the sum of angles in a triangle is π radians, angle C = angle B = π/3 radians. Hence, the correct answer is C) 2π/3.

86. A simple pendulum is oscillating with the time period T= 2 , Measurement made during this experiment as observed and recorded as it is.  a) Length of simple pendulum is 100 cm. b) Time for 20 vibrations is 40.2 cm c) Length was measured by a meter scale of accuracy up to 1 mm. and time by stop watch of accuracy up to 0.1 s. The total uncertainty in value of g (which is taken as 9.8 m/s^2 ) is given by:

Explanation

The total uncertainty in the value of g can be determined by calculating the individual uncertainties in the length and time measurements and then combining them using the appropriate formula. Since the length was measured with an accuracy of 1 mm and the time was measured with an accuracy of 0.1 s, the uncertainties in these measurements can be calculated as 0.1 cm and 0.02 s, respectively. The formula for combining uncertainties in multiplication is given by Δg/g = √((ΔL/L)^2 + (ΔT/T)^2), where Δg is the uncertainty in g, ΔL is the uncertainty in length, L is the length, ΔT is the uncertainty in time, and T is the time. Plugging in the values, we get Δg/g = √((0.1/100)^2 + (0.02/40.2)^2) = 0.006, which is equal to 0.6%. Therefore, the total uncertainty in the value of g is 0.6%.

87. Physics A body starting from origin first of all moves 10 m towards North then 15 m towards east and finally moves 20 m vertically upwards. What is the total displacement?

Explanation

The total displacement can be found by calculating the straight line distance from the starting point to the final position. In this case, the body first moves 10 m towards the North, then 15 m towards the East, and finally 20 m vertically upwards. Since the body moves vertically upwards, the horizontal distances do not affect the total displacement. Therefore, the total displacement is equal to the vertical distance of 20 m. Thus, the correct answer is 30 m.
