Rahul took a wooden cube of volume $1000  {cm}^3$ and put it in water. He observed that $\displaystyle \frac{3}{5}th$ of its volume is below the level of water. Later, he floated the cube in a liquid of density $0.8  g  {cm}^{-3}$ and applied extra force on the cube to completely submerge it in the given liquid. Calculate how much extra force Rahul applied on the cube.

Correct Option: B

Water falls from a height of $210\, m$. Assuming whole of energy due to fall is converted into heat the rise in temperature of water would be 
($J = 4.3$ Joule/cal)

  1. $42^0\, C$

  2. $49^0\, C$

  3. $0.49^0\, C$

  4. $4.9^0\, C$

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:

$\begin{array}{l} \Delta \theta =0.0023h \ =0.0023\times 210 \ ={ 0.483^{ 0 } }C \ =\approx { 0.49^{ 0 } }C \end{array}$

Hence, Option $C$ is correct.

1 J Is equal to $1 : kg : m : s^{-2}$

physics energy and its forms introduction to work work introduction to work and energy

  1. True

  2. False

  3. Ambiguous

  4. Data insufficient

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

False
because,A Joule is equal$= Newton \times meter$, and a Newton $= mass \times acceleration$The unit for mass is kg and for acceleration is m${s}^{2}$. So if a Joule $=Newton \times meter$, it equals $kgm{s}^{2}times m$. The x meter makes the meter
on top squared so you get Joules $= kg{m^2}$${s}^{-2}$. 

Which of the following will give $1J$ of work?

physics energy and its forms introduction to work work introduction to work and energy

  1. $F=1N,S=1m,\theta={0}^{0}$

  2. $F=1N,S=1m,\theta={90}^{0}$

  3. $F=0.1N,S=1m,\theta={0}^{0}$

  4. $F=0.1N,S=10m,\theta={90}^{0}$

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

$W=F.S.cos\theta$
For $F=1, S=1, \theta={0}^{0}$, $W=1\times1{\times}cos{0}^{0}=1 J$

$4.0\times{10}^{-19}J=$

  1. $1eV$

  2. $2eV$

  3. $2.5eV$

  4. $5eV$

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:

$1eV=1.6\times{10}^{-19}J$


$\therefore{4.0}\times{10}^{-19}J=\dfrac{4.0\times{10}^{-19}}{1.6\times{10}^{-19}}eV=2.5eV$
