Physics problems
- 1. The base of an electric iron is brightly polished mainly
Options- A. to make it smooth and frictionless
- B. to make it rust-proof
- C. to reduce heat loss by radiation
- D. to make it more durable Discuss
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.
- 2. A ball is thrown vertically upwards. Assuming the air resistance to be constant and cosiderable:
Options- A. the time of ascent < the time of descent
- B. the time of ascent > the time of descent
- C. the time of ascent = the time of descent
- D. none of these Discuss
Correct Answer: the time of ascent < the time of descent
- 3. Pick out the only scalar quantity
Options- A. power
- B. Electric field
- C. magnetic momentum
- D. average velocity Discuss
Correct Answer: power
- 4. A boat loaded with rocks floats in the middle of a swimming pool. A man in the boat throws the rocks overboard. The level of water in the pool will
Options- A. increase
- B. decrease
- C. remains the same
- D. first decrease and then increase Also asked in: AIEEE, CAT, Analyst
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.

Options- A. 300 m
- B. 30 m
- C. 3 m
- D. 0.3 m Also asked in: AIEEE, Bank Exams, CAT, GATE, Analyst, Bank Clerk
