Q1. The edge of an aluminum cube is 10 cm long. One face of the cube is firmly fixed to a vertical wall. A mass of 100 kg is then attached to the opposite face of the cube. The shear modulus of aluminum is 25 GPa. What is the vertical deflection of this face?
Answer : Option C
Explaination / Solution:
No Explaination.


Q2. A steam engine delivers 5.4 J of work per minute and services  of heat per minute from its boiler. What is the efficiency of the engine? How much heat is wasted per minute?
Answer : Option C
Explaination / Solution:


Heat Wasted = 


Q3. A difference of 2.3 eV separates two energy levels in an atom. What is the frequency of radiation emitted when the atom make a transition from the upper level to the lower level?
Answer : Option C
Explaination / Solution:
No Explaination.


Q4. The ground state energy of hydrogen atom is –13.6 eV. What are the kinetic and potential energies of the electron in this state?
Answer : Option C
Explaination / Solution:
No Explaination.


Q5.

A truck starts from rest and accelerates uniformly at 2.0 m . At t = 10 s, a stone is dropped by a person standing on the top of the truck (6 m high from the ground). What is the magnitude of acceleration (in m  ) of the stone at t = 11s? (Neglect air resistance.)


Answer : Option D
Explaination / Solution:

When the stone is dropped from the truck , the horizontal force acting on it become zero after stone is released. Stone continue to move under the influence of gravity only. So that acceleration of the stone is equal to the gravitational acceleration g.

a = g = 10ms-2 acting vertically downward.


Q6. A 6.0-kg block initially at rest is pulled to the right along a horizontal, surface having a coefficient of kinetic friction of 0.15, by a constant horizontal force of 12 N. Find the speed of the block after it has moved 3.0 m.
Answer : Option A
Explaination / Solution:

ΔK=W
F=12N
f=μR=μmg=0.15×6×9.8=8.82N
12mv212mu2=Fnets

(12×6×v2)0=3.18×3
3v2=3.18×3
v2=3.18
v=1.8m/sec

                               

Q7. Albert Einstein was awarded the Nobel Prize for his work on
Answer : Option A
Explaination / Solution:

The Nobel Prize in Physics 1921 was awarded to Albert Einstein "for his services to Theoretical Physics, and especially for his discovery of the law of the photoelectric effect". Albert Einstein received his Nobel Prize one year later, in 1922.

Q8. When 2 charged conductors are connected by a wire,
Answer : Option A
Explaination / Solution:

Let the two conductors have capacitances  and  and let their potentials be  and  . Total initial energy of the conductors. When two charged conductors are connected by a wire, the flow of charge stops when the potentials are equalized. Let V be the common potential and  and  be the charges on the conductors after the common potential is attained. 

The final energy 


Q9. A jet airplane travelling at the speed of 500 kmh–1 ejects its products of combustion at the speed of 1500 km h–1relative to the jet plane. What is the speed of the combustion with respect to an observer on ground?
Answer : Option D
Explaination / Solution:

Speed of the jet airplane, vjet = 500 km/h Relative speed of its products of combustion with respect to the plane, vsmoke = – 1500 km/h

Speed of its products of combustion with respect to the ground = v′smoke

Relative speed of its products of combustion with respect to the airplane, vsmoke = v′smoke – vjet

=> – 1500 = v′smoke – 500

=> v′smoke = – 1000 km/h

The negative sign indicates that the direction of its products of combustion is opposite to the direction of motion of the jet airplane.


Q10. If two soap bubbles of different radii are in communication with each other
Answer : Option A
Explaination / Solution:
No Explaination.
