Correct Answer: the pressure on the ice due to skate melts the ice by lowering its melting point forming a thin film of water
Explanation:
Here is a case of lowering of melting point of ice with increase of pressure
Correct Answer: aluminium
Explanation:
Aluminium being a good conductor of heat conducts away the heat from the substance quite easily and causes quick freezing.
Correct Answer: its speed may or maynot change
Correct Answer: surface tension
Explanation:
The Camphor slowly dissolves in the water lowering the latter's surface tension in the immediate neighbourhood. The stronger pull exerted by the uncontaminated portion of water brings about a movement of the surface and the camphor particles are carried along with it. When after sometime the whole surface settles for the reduced tension, the movement of the camphor too short.
Correct Answer: Weight
Explanation:
Rate of change of impulse equals the force . In case of freely falling body the only force is the weight.
Correct Answer: to reduce heat loss by radiation
Explanation:
Polished surfaces are poor radiators of heat. So loss of heat on that account is reduced and the electric iron remains hotter than otherwise.
Correct Answer: the time of ascent < the time of descent
Correct Answer: power
Correct Answer: decrease
Explanation:
Let M and m grams be the mass of boat + rock in it. By law of floatation(M+m) grams of water will be displaced. This has a volume of (M+m)cc. That means the level of water in pool has risen up by (M+m)cc with the boat + rock when it is floating. If the rocks in the boat are thrown not into the pool but outside, the weight left is only M grams the weight of the boat. This will have displaced M cc of water only i.e less water than in the case of loaded boat. But if the rocks are put in the water in the pool and not outside, then the water in the pool will rise not only by M cc on account of empty boat but also by a volume of the stone put into it. This volume will be where m is the mass of rock and d density of rock.
Now is < m. Thus the total rise will be which is < M + m.
Correct Answer: Diamond to glass
