Q 1PhysicsSection B • Numericalwork power and energy
+4 / -2
A thin ring of mass 2 kg and radius 0.5 m is rolling without on a horizontal plane with velocity 1 m/s. A small ball of mass 0.1 kg, moving with velocity 20 m/s in the opposite direction hits the ring at a height of 0.75 m and goes vertically up with velocity 10 m/s. Immediately after the collision,
Official Correct Answer:Declared in Solution
Step-by-Step Solution:
Let M be the mass of the ring and m that of the ball and
let V and υ be their velocity before collision. The initial momentum of the system (ring and ball) in the horizontal direction is
pi=MV+mυ
=2×1+0.1×(−20)
=2−2=0
From conservation of momentum, the final momentum of the system pf=0 in the horizontal direction. Hence Vcm=0 for the ring, i.e. the ring has pure rotation about its centre of mass. So choice (a) is correct.
The total initial angular momentum of the system about the point of collision is
Li=mυr−Iω
=mυr−MR2RV
=mυr−MRV
=0.1×20×0.75−2×0.5×1
=1.5−1=0.5 kg m2 s−1
From the conservation of angular momentum, the final angular velocity must be anticlockwise. Hence the friction between the ring and the ground is to the left. So the correct choices are (a) and (c).
Q 2PhysicsSection A • MCQgravitation
+3 / -0.75
A satellite is moving with a constant speed ‘V’ in a circular orbit about the earth. An object of mass ‘m’ is
ejected from the satellite such that it just escapes from the gravitational pull of the earth. At the time of its
ejection, the kinetic energy of the object is
A
21mV2
B
mV2
C
23mV2
D
2mV2
Official Correct Answer:Option (B)
Step-by-Step Solution:
A particle escapes from the gravitational pull if its total energy (T) i.e., sum of kinetic energy (K) and potential energy (U), is greater than or equal to zero. The condition for just escape T = K + U = 0 i.e.,
K = − U. .............. (1)
In a circular orbit of radius r, gravitational attraction provides the centripetal acceleration, mV2/r = GMm/r2, which gives
r=V2GM ........ (2)
From equations (1) and (2), the kinetic energy of the particle at the time of injection is given by
K=−U=−(−rGMm)=GM/V2GMm=mV2.

A point mass is subjected to two simultaneous sinusoidal displacements in x-direction, x1(t)=Asinωt and x2(t)=Asin(ωt+32π). Adding a third sinusoidal displacement x3(t)=Bsin(ωt+ϕ) brings the mass to a complete rest. The values of B and ϕ are
A
2A,43π
B
A,34π
C
3A,65π
D
A,3π
Official Correct Answer:Option (B)
Step-by-Step Solution:
Here, x1=Asinωt
x2=Asin(ωt+32π)
∴x1+x2=Asinωt+Asin(ωt+32π)
=Asinωt+A[sinωtcos32π+cosωtsin32π]
=Asinωt+A[sinωt(−21)+cosωt(23)]
=2Asinωt+23Acosωt=A[sinωtcos3π+cosωtsin3π]
=Asin(ωt+3π)
∵x1+x2+x3=0
⇒x3=−(x1+x2)=−Asin(ωt+3π)
=Asin(ωt+π+3π)
x3=Asin(ωt+34π)
∵x3=Bsin(ωt+ϕ)
Hence, B=A,ϕ=34π

Answer Format:Enter numerical value rounded to the nearest integerOfficial Answer: 4
Official Correct Answer:4
Step-by-Step Solution:
Loss of kinetic energy =21mV2
Work done against friction =μmgx
Gain in potential energy =21kx2
From work-energy principle,
21mV2=μmgx+21kx2
⇒21×0.18×V2=0.1×0.18×10×0.06+21×2×(0.06)2
⇒V=0.4=104 ms−1. Hence, N = 4.

Which of the following statement(s) is/are correct?
Official Correct Answer:Declared in Solution
Step-by-Step Solution:
Gauss's law is valid only if Coulomb's law holds, i.e. if E∝r−2. Hence, choice (a) is wrong. Gauss's law cannot be used to calculate a non-uniform field distribution around an electric dipole. So choice (b) is also wrong.
Choice (c) is correct because the directions of electric fields are opposite at a point between two similar charges.
Work done WA→B=q(VB−VA)=(VB−VA) (∵q=+1C)
Hence, choice (d) is correct.
So the correct choices are (c) and (d).

Two solid spheres A and B of equal volumes but of different densities dA and dB are connected by a string. They are fully immersed in a fluid of density dF. They get arranged into an equilibrium state as shown in the figure with a tension in the string. The arrangement is possible only if
Official Correct Answer:Declared in Solution
Step-by-Step Solution:
Let V be the volume of each sphere and let T be the tension in the string.
Buoyant force on sphere A is UA = dFVg
Buoyant force on sphere B is UB = dFVg
Weight of A is WA = dAVg
Weight of B is WB = dBVg
The free body diagrams of A and B are as follows. (see Fig. 11.34)
For equilibrium,
UA = T + WA and UB + T = WB
i.e. dFVg = T + dAVg ..... (i)
and dFVg + T = dBVg .... (ii)
From Eq. (i) dF=VgT+dA. Hence, dF > dA. So choice (a) is correct.
From Eq. (ii) dB=VgT+dF. Hence dB > dF. So choice (b) is also correct.
Eliminating T from Eqs. (i) and (ii) we get 2dF=dA+dB, which is choice (d).
So, the correct choices are (a), (b) and (d).

A silver sphere of radius 1 cm and work function 4.7 eV is suspended from an insulating thread in free-space. It is under continuous illumination of 200 nm wavelength light. As photoelectrons are emitted, the sphere gets charged and acquires a potential. The maximum number of photoelectrons emitted from the spheres is A × 102 (where 1 < A < 10). The value of Z is _____________.
Answer Format:Enter numerical value rounded to the nearest integerOfficial Answer: 7
Official Correct Answer:7
Step-by-Step Solution:
The silver sphere gets positively charged due to emission of photoelectrons. This positively charged sphere attracts (binds) the emitted photoelectrons. The emitted photoelectrons cannot escape if their kinetic energies (hc/λ−ϕ) are less than or equal to their potential energies (4πε01rne2). Thus, in limiting case,
λhc−ϕ=4πε01rne2 ..... (1)
Substitute the values of various parameters in equation (1),
2001242−4.7=10−2n(9×109)(1.6×10−19),

Match each system with statements given in Column II describing the nature and wavelength of the standing waves :
(3) For a stretched wire clamped at both ends, we have
2λf=L
Vibration on the string is transverse.
(4) For a stretched wire clamped at both ends and at mid-point, we have
2λf=2L⇒λf=L
Therefore, the vibration on the string is transverse.

A wooden block performs SHM on a frictionless surface with frequency, v0. The block carries a charge +Q on its surface . If now a uniform electric field E is switched- on as shown, then the SHM of the block will be
A
of the same frequency and with shifted mean position.
B
of the same frequency and with the same mean position
C
of changed frequency and with shifted mean position.
D
of changed frequency and with the same mean position.
Official Correct Answer:Option (A)
Step-by-Step Solution:
The force exerted on charge +Q by the electric field E is
F=QE
in the direction of E. Since F is constant, a constant force is added to the applied force. Hence only the mean position will change.
The frequency will be same.
As v0=2π1mk does not depend on the constant external force.

Q 14PhysicsSection A • MCQimpulse and momentum
+3 / -0.75
A ball of mass 0.2 kg rests on a vertical post of height 5 m. A bullet
of mass 0.01 kg, traveling with a velocity V m/s in a horizontal
direction, hits the center of the ball. After the collision, the ball and
bullet travel independently. The ball hits the ground at a distance of
20 m and the bullet at a distance of 100 m from the foot of the post.
The velocity V of the bullet is
A
250 m/s
B
2502 m/s
C
400 m/s
D
500 m/s
Official Correct Answer:Option (D)
Step-by-Step Solution:
The time of flight for the bullet is same as that of the ball and is given by
t=g2h=102×5=1s
Just after the collision, the velocity of bullet (v1) is related to its range (R1) by v1t = R1 which gives v1 = 100 m/s. Similarly, the velocity of the ball is v2 = 20 m/s. Consider the bullet and the ball together as a system. Along the direction of collision, there is no external force on the system. Hence, linear momentum of the system in the direction of collision is conserved. The linear momentum of the system before and after the collision are
pi=m1V,
pf=m1v1+m2v2.
The conservation of linear momentum, pi=pf, gives
V=m1m1v1+m2v2
=0.01(0.01)(100)+(0.2)(20)=500 m/s.

Water (with refractive index = 4/3) in a tank is 18 cm deep. Oil of refractive index 7/4 lies on water making a convex surface of radius of curvature R = 6 cm as shown. Consider oil to act a thin lens. An object S is placed 24 cm above water surface. The location of its image is at x cm above the bottom of the tank. Then x is __________.
Answer Format:Enter numerical value rounded to the nearest integerOfficial Answer: 2
Official Correct Answer:2
Step-by-Step Solution:
We have
vn2−un1=Rn1−n2
For the first refracting surface (air-oil), we have n2 = 7/4; n1 = 1; R = 6 cm. Therefore,
4v17−241=6−(7/4)
or v1 = 21 cm and for the second interface (water-oil), we have
n1=47;n2=34u=v1;R=∞
Therefore,
3v24−4×217=0
v2 = 16 cm and v2 + x = height of water.
Therefore,
x=18−16=2

A light ray travelling in glass medium is incident on glass-air interface at an angle of incidence θ. The reflected (R) and transmitted (T) intensities, both as function of θ, are plotted. The correct sketch is
A
B
C
D
Official Correct Answer:Option (C)
Step-by-Step Solution:
If I is the intensity of the incident light then R + T = I. Since the incident ray is travelling in a denser medium (glass), it will be totally reflected at a certain critical angle θc. For θ < θc a part of the incident intensity is reflected and the remaining part is transmitted. But for θ > θc, there is no refracted ray. Hence for θ > θc, the value of R is 100%. Hence the only correct option is (c).

Impedance of the circuit is
ZB=R2+(4ωC1)2
IRB=R2+(4ωC1)2V ..... (iii)
VCB=(4RωC)2+1V ..... (iv)
From (i) and (iii), we conclude that

From (ii) and (iv), we conclude that

Step-by-Step Solution:
u = 10 ms−1, θ = 60∘
Time of flight is
t=g2usinθ=102×10×sin60∘=3s
Let v be the velocity of the train. The horizontal velocity of ball at the instant it is thrown =(v+ux)=(v+ucosθ). Therefore, the horizontal range of the ball with respect to the ground is
R=(v+ucosθ)t, where t=3s
It is clear that
Distance travelled by ball in time t+1.15=R
i.e. vt+21at2+1.15=(v+ucosθ)t

Consider the following cell reaction:
2Fe(s) + O2(g) + 4H+(aq) → 2Fe2+ (aq) + 2H2O (l); Eo = 1.67 V
At [Fe2+] = 10-3 M, P(O2) = 0.1 atm and pH = 3, the cell potential at 25oC is
A
1.47 V
B
1.77 V
C
1.87 V
D
1.57 V
Official Correct Answer:Option (D)
Step-by-Step Solution:
To find the cell potential under non-standard conditions, we can use the Nernst equation, which is given as:
E=Eo−nFRTln(Q)
Where:
Eo is the standard cell potential (1.67 V).
R is the gas constant (8.314 J/mol·K).
T is the temperature in Kelvin (298 K for 25°C).
n is the number of moles of electrons transferred per mole of reaction (4 in this case).
F is the Faraday constant (96485 C/mol).
Q is the reaction quotient.
The reaction quotient, Q, can be calculated based on the given conditions and the reaction:
Q=[H+]4⋅P(O2)[Fe2+]2
Substituting the given values:
[Fe2+]=10−3 M
[H+]=10−pH=10−3 M
P(O2)=0.1 atm
Q=(10−3)4⋅0.1(10−3)2
Q=10−12⋅0.110−6
Q=10−1310−6
Q=107
Now, substituting the values into the Nernst equation:
E=1.67 V−4×964858.314×298ln(107)
Calculating the term nFRT;
nFRT=4×964858.314×298
≈3859402476
≈0.0064 V
The natural logarithm of 107 is about 16.1 (since ln(10)≈2.303, so ln(107)=7×ln(10)≈16.1).
Thus,
E=1.67 V−0.0064×16.1
E=1.67 V−0.103 V
E=1.567 V
Therefore, the cell potential under the given conditions is approximately 1.57 V, so option D (1.57 V) is the correct answer.

The freezing point (in oC) of a solution containing 0.1 g of K3[Fe(CN)6] (Mol. wt. 329) in 100 g of water (Kf = 1.86 K kg mol-1) is
A
-2.3 × 10-2
B
-5.7 × 10-2
C
-5.7 × 10-3
D
-1.2 × 10-2
Official Correct Answer:Option (A)
Step-by-Step Solution:
To find the freezing point of the solution, we will use the formula for freezing point depression, which is given by:
ΔTf=i⋅Kf⋅m
where:
ΔTf is the freezing point depression.
i is the van't Hoff factor (number of particles the solute splits into or forms in solution).
Kf is the cryoscopic constant (freezing point depression constant), for water it's 1.86 K kg mol-1.
m is the molality of the solution.
Given:
Solute is K3[Fe(CN)6], and molecular weight (M) = 329 g/mol.
Mass of solute = 0.1 g.
Mass of solvent (water) = 100 g.
First, we calculate the molality m of the solution:
m=Kilograms of solventMoles of solute
Moles of solute:
Moles of solute=Molecular weightMass of solute=3290.1mol
Moles of solute=3.04×10−4 mol
Kilograms of solvent:
Kilograms of solvent=100 g=0.1 kg
Now molality:
m=0.1 kg3.04×10−4 mol=0.00304 mol/kg
Next, calculate the van't Hoff factor i:
The solute K3[Fe(CN)6] disassociates into 4 ions: 3 K+ and 1 [Fe(CN)6]3−. Therefore, i=4.
Substituting these into the freezing point depression formula:
ΔTf=i⋅Kf⋅m=4⋅1.86⋅0.00304
ΔTf=0.02259 K
Convert to degrees Celsius and remember that this will lower the freezing point, so it should be negative (since the freezing point depression means the solution freezes at a lower temperature than pure solvent):
ΔTf=−0.02259 °C
So, ΔTf=−2.259×10−2 °C
From the given options, the closest to this calculated value of ΔTf is:
Option A: -2.3 × 10-2oC. Hence, Option A is the correct answer.

Official Correct Answer:Option (A)
Step-by-Step Solution:
Analysis of each transformation:
(A) CO2(s) → CO2(g)
This transformation represents the sublimation of solid carbon dioxide (dry ice) into gaseous carbon dioxide. This process is:
Phase transition (p): The substance changes from solid to gas phase.
ΔH is positive (r): Sublimation is an endothermic process, meaning it absorbs heat from the surroundings.
ΔS is positive (s): The entropy increases as the substance moves from a more ordered solid state to a less ordered gaseous state.
(B) CaCO3(s) → CaO(s) + CO2(g)
This transformation is the thermal decomposition of calcium carbonate to form calcium oxide and carbon dioxide. This process involves:
ΔH is positive (r): Decomposition reactions are typically endothermic, requiring energy to break chemical bonds.
ΔS is positive (s): The process results in an increase in entropy, primarily because a gas (CO2) is produced from a solid compound.
(C) 2H → H2(g)
This is the formation of hydrogen gas (H2) from atomic hydrogen (H). This transformation:
ΔS is negative (t): Two individual hydrogen atoms combine into a diatomic molecule, decreasing the system's entropy since fewer particles are free to move independently.
(D) P(white, solid)→ P(red, solid)
This transformation represents the allotropy change from white phosphorus to red phosphorus:
Allotropic change (q): Both forms are the same element, phosphorus, showing in different structural forms.
ΔS is negative (t): Red phosphorus is more thermodynamically stable and less reactive than white phosphorus, implying a decrease in entropy.
Option Evaluation:
Upon reviewing each transformation and comparing the mappings:
Option A agrees completely with the above analysis with proper mapping for each statement.
Thus, Option A is correct:
A → p,r,s; B → r,s; C → t; D → p,q,t

For the first order reaction
2N2O5 (g) → 4NO2 (g) + O2 (g)
Official Correct Answer:Declared in Solution
Step-by-Step Solution:
The given chemical equation represents a first-order reaction:
2N2O5(g)→4NO2(g)+O2(g)
In first-order reactions, the rate of reaction is directly proportional to the concentration of the reactant. The rate law can be expressed as:
Rate=k[N2O5]
where k is the rate constant.
The integrated rate equation for a first-order reaction is:
ln[N2O5]=−kt+ln[N2O5]0
where [N_2O_5]_0 is the initial concentration and [N_2O_5] is the concentration at time t.
Rearranging gives:
[N2O5]=[N2O5]0e−kt
Now, let's analyze each option:
Option A: "the concentration of the reactant decreases exponentially with time".
This matches the expression [N2O5]=[N2O5]0e−kt which shows an exponential decline in the concentration of the reactant. Therefore, option A is correct.
Option B: "the half-life of the reaction decreases with increasing temperature".
In first-order reactions, the half-life is determined by the equation t1/2=k0.693. Increases in temperature typically increase the rate constant k, thus decreasing the half-life. However, it is not directly related to the half-life itself but rather to the rate constant via the Arrhenius equation. Nonetheless, the essence of the statement is correct as increasing temperature generally decreases the half-life.
Option C: "the half-life of the reaction depends on the initial concentration of the reactant".
The half-life for a first-order reaction given by t1/2=k0.693 is independent of the initial concentration [N_2O_5]_0. Therefore, option C is incorrect.
Option D: "the reaction proceeds to 99.6% completion in eight half-life durations".
Completion to a certain level can be found using the formula for decay over multiple half-lives, given as [N2O5]=[N2O5]0×(21)n where n is the number of half-lives. For eight half-lives, we have:
The reaction proceeds to 256255≈99.6% completion. Thus, option D is correct.
In summary, options A, B, and D are correct, while option C is incorrect.
