Hints and Solutions

PHYSICS

(1) Answer : (B)

Solution:
(x − 3) = 2sinωt

Mean position is shifted to

x = 3 and amplitude is 2 units.

(2) Answer : (A)

Solution:
vavg =
Δx

Δt

Δx = x2 – x1 = 16 – 5 = 11 m
Δt = (2 – 1) s = 1 s
vavg = 11

m/s = 11 m/s
(3) Answer : (B)
Hint:
R
Cv =
γ−1

Solution:
For an ideal gas CV
R
= γ−1

⇒ γ − 1 = 0.4 ⇒ γ = 1.4

Hence gas is diatomic.

(4) Answer : (B)
Hint:
Total energy of oscillating body remains constant, so time period is infinity and frequency is zero.
Solution:
Total energy of oscillating body remains constant, so time period is infinity and frequency is zero.

(5) Answer : (C)

Solution:
ΔT
∝ (T − T0 )
t

So its temperature after next 10 minutes will be above 30°C.

(6) Answer : (B)
Solution:
