Q1. A man of mass 70 kg stands on a weighing scale in a lift which is moving downwards with a uniform acceleration of 5 m  what would be the reading on the scale?
Answer : Option A
Explaination / Solution:

When the lift moves downward with acceleration = 5 ms-2 the net force acting downward


R = 350 N

therefore reading on the scale = 


Q2. A person trying to lose weight (dieter) lifts a 10 kg mass, one thousand times, to a height of 0.5 m each time. Assume that the potential energy lost each time she lowers the mass is dissipated. How much work does she do against the gravitational force?
Answer : Option A
Explaination / Solution:

Work done by force applied against gravity for one lift will be

So work done for 1000 lifts = 49 x 1000 = 49000 J


Q3. In electrolytic capacitors positive terminal is
Answer : Option B
Explaination / Solution:

Aluminium electrolytic capacitors have the Aluminium foil anode (positive terminal) which is etched and covered with a layer of Aluminium Oxide which acts as a dielectric. The whole assembly is covered using a paper separator soaked in electrolyte such as, Borax or Glycol and covered by Aluminium foil which acts as cathode ( negative electrode)

Q4. Strong Nuclear Force
Answer : Option A
Explaination / Solution:

The strong nuclear force is the nuclear binding force, the force that provides the attraction.it might also be responsible for holding particles together within the nucleus of atoms.

Q5.

The moment of inertia of a solid sphere about a diameter is 8000 gms  (mass of sphere = 50 gm, radius = 20 cm). The moment of inertia about a tangent will be


Answer : Option D
Explaination / Solution:

I = 2/5 MR2  = 8000 gm cm, using parallel axis theorem the moment of  Inertia about tangent to sphere is  =  2/5 MR2+ MR2  = 7/5 MR2.  =2.8 ×  gm cm2 


Q6. Small droplets of liquid are usually more spherical in shape than larger drops of the same liquid because
Answer : Option B
Explaination / Solution:
No Explaination.


Q7. A 14.5 kg mass, fastened to the end of a steel wire of unstretched length 1.0 m, is whirled in a vertical circle with an angular velocity of 2 rev/s at the bottom of the circle. The cross-sectional area of the wire is 0.065 . Calculate the elongation of the wire when the mass is at the lowest point of its path.
Answer : Option D
Explaination / Solution:
No Explaination.


Q8. An equi-convex crown glass lens has a focal length 20 cm for violet rays. Its focal length for red rays is 
Answer : Option D
Explaination / Solution:
No Explaination.


Q9. Which of the following is the best nuclear fuel
Answer : Option B
Explaination / Solution:
No Explaination.


Q10.

A large steel wheel is to be fitted on to a shaft of the same material. At 27 C, the outer diameter of the shaft is 8.70 cm and the diameter of the central hole in the wheel is 8.69 cm. The shaft is cooled using ‘dry ice’. At what temperature of the shaft does the wheel slip on the shaft? Assume coefficient of linear expansion of the steel to be constant over the required temperature range: αsteel = 1.20   .


Answer : Option A
Explaination / Solution:


final temp. =
