Q 16PhysicsSection A • MCQlaws of motion
+4 / -1
A ball is thrown upward with an initial velocity
V0 from the surface of the earth. The motion
of the ball is affected by a drag force equal to
mγu2 (where m is mass of the ball, u is its
instantaneous velocity and γ is a constant).
Time taken by the ball to rise to its zenith is :
A
γg1tan−1(gγV0)
B
γg1ln(1+gγV0)
C
γg1sin−1(gγV0)
D
2γg1tan−1(g2γV0)
Official Correct Answer:Option (A)
Step-by-Step Solution:
Given, drag force, F=mγv2 ......(i)
As we know, general equation of force
=ma .........(ii)
Comparing Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get
a=γv2
The net retardation of the ball when thrown vertically upward is therefore
anet=−(g+γv2)=dtdv, where g is the acceleration due to gravity.
Rearranging terms gives us :
g+γv2dv=−dt
We now need to integrate both sides of this equation.
When the ball is thrown upward with velocity v0 and reaches its zenith ( "zenith" refers to the highest point that the ball reaches in its upward trajectory.), the velocity is 0. The time to reach the zenith is t.
So the integral equation is :
v0∫0γv2+gdv=−0∫tdt
Separating the constants from the integral :
γ1v0∫0(γg+v2)1dv=−0∫tdt
Recognizing the integral as the standard form x2+a21=a1tan−1(ax), we write the integral in terms of the arctangent function.
This gives us :
γ1(γg1)[tan−1(γgv)]v00=−t
Evaluating the integral at the bounds gives us :
γg1tan−1(gγv0)=t
Therefore, the time taken by the ball to rise to its zenith, considering the drag force, is given by
t=γg1tan−1(gγV0)

The graph between ∣ψ∣2 and r (radial distance) is shown below. This represents :
A
3s orbital
B
2s orbital
C
2p orbital
D
1s orbital
Official Correct Answer:Option (B)
Step-by-Step Solution:
In this ∣ψ∣2 vs r graph, value of r is zero at only one point. So this orbital must have one radial node.
Here ∣ψ∣2=0 at r = 0, so orbital should be s orbital. Then l = 0.
We know,
No of radial node = n - l - 1
∴ n - l - 1 = 1
⇒ n - 0 - 1 = 1

B
(III) > (II) > (I)
C
(I) > (II) > (III)
D

Step-by-Step Solution:
As in a co-ordination compound, the strong field
ligand causes higher splitting of the d-orbitals
Also we know,
strength of ligand ∝λabsorbed1
Order of strength of ligand

At 300 K and 1 atmospheric pressure, 10 mL of a hydrocarbon required 55 mL of O2 for complete
combustion, and 40 mL of CO2 is formed. The formula of the hydrocarbon is :
A
C4H7Cl
B
C4H6
C
C4H8
D
C4H10
Official Correct Answer:Option (B)
Step-by-Step Solution:
CxHy + (x+4y)O2→ xCO2 + 2yH2O
According to the above equation,
1 mL of hydrocarbon = x mL of CO2 is produced
∴ 10 mL of hydrocarbon = 10x mL of CO2 is produced.
According to question,
From 10 mL of hydrocarbon 40 mL of CO2 is produced.
∴ 10x = 40
⇒ x = 4
Also from the above equation,
1 mL of CxHy react with (x+4y) mL of O2.
∴ 10 mL of CxHy react with 10(x+4y) mL of O2.
According to question,
10(x+4y) = 55
⇒40+410y=55
⇒ y = 6
∴ Hydrocarbon is C4H6

(c) A monobasic acid with Ka = 10–5
has pH = 5. The degree of dissociation of this acid is 50 %.
(d) The Le Chatelier's principle is not applicable to common-ion effect.
(b) Ionic product of water increases with
increase of temperature because ionisation
of water is endothermic.
(c)
ka = c(1−α)10−5×cα
⇒ 10-5 = (1−α)10−5×α
⇒(1−α)α = 1
⇒α = 0.5
∴ Degree of dissociation(α) = 50%
(d) The Le Chatelier's principle is always applicable to common-ion effect.

C
Ti3+ < Ti2+ < Sc3+ < V2+
D
V2+ < Ti2+ < Ti3+ < Sc3+
Official Correct Answer:Option (B)
Step-by-Step Solution:
As we know that
μ=n(n+2)
where n = no. of unpaired electrons i.e. greater the no. of unpaired electron more will be the spin-only magnetic moments.
. Electronic configuration of the given transition
metal ions are
Sc3+ (Z = 21) = 1s22s22p63s23p6
∴ n = 0
Ti2+ (Z = 22) = 1s22s22p63s23p63d2
∴ n = 2
Ti3+ (Z = 22) = 1s22s22p63s23p63d1
∴ n = 1
V2+ (Z = 23) = 1s22s22p63s23p63d3

C
Gas C will occupy lesser volume than gas A; gas B will be lesser compressible than gas D
D
Gas C will occupy more volume than gas A; gas B will be lesser compressible than gas D
Official Correct Answer:Option (A)
Step-by-Step Solution:
van der Walls equation of state is,
z=1+RTPb−VmRTa
b = intermolecule volume of gases.
So when the value of 'b' is higher then the higher value of
‘b’ will occupy higher volume and according to van der Walls equation of state 'z' will be higher hence gas will be
less compressible.
a = intermolecule force of attraction
The value of 'a' is higher means intermolecule force of attraction is higher then the volume of gas will be lesser and according to van der Walls equation of state 'z' will be smaller hence gas will have higher compressibility.

The principle of column chromatography is :
A
Gravitational force.
B
Capillary action.
C
Differential adsorption of the substances on the solid phase.
D
Differential absorption of the substances on the solid phase.
Official Correct Answer:Option (C)
Step-by-Step Solution:
The principle of column chromatography is based on the differential adsorption of substances on the solid phase. This means that different substances in a mixture will interact with the solid stationary phase to different extents. Some substances will adsorb more strongly to the solid phase and will therefore move more slowly through the column, while others will adsorb less strongly and will therefore move more quickly. This differential adsorption allows for the separation of the substances in the mixture.
So, the correct answer is :
Option C : Differential adsorption of the substances on the solid phase.

S2 : Molar conductivity always increases with decrease in the concentration of electrolyte.
The correct option among the following is :
A
Both S1 and S2 are wrong
B
S1 is correct and S2 is wrong
C
Both S1 and S2 are correct
D
S1 is wrong and S2 is correct
Official Correct Answer:Option (D)
Step-by-Step Solution:
We know conductivity (k) = VG
V = volume
When concentration decreases volume increases and when volume increases then conductivity (k) decreases.
So, we can say S1 is incorrect.
We know that,
λm=ck
where
λm = molar conductivity
k = conductivity
c = concentration
So, when concentration decreases molar conductivity increases.
So, we can say S2 is correct.

2 sin x = sin y
D
2 |sin x | = 3 sin y
Official Correct Answer:Option (A)
Step-by-Step Solution:
2sin2x−2sinx+5≤22sin2y
⇒sin2x−2sinx+5≤2sin2y
⇒(sinx−1)2+4≤2sin2y
it is true when sinx = 1, |siny| = 1
so sinx = |siny|

If a > 0 and z = a−i(1+i)2, has magnitude 52, then z is equal to :
A
−51+53i
B
−51−53i
C
51−53i
D
−53−51i
Official Correct Answer:Option (B)
Step-by-Step Solution:
z=a−i(1+i)2×a+ia+i
⇒z=a2+1(1−1+2i)(a+i)=a2+12ai−2
⇒∣z∣=(a2+1−2)2+(a2+12a)2=(a2+1)24+4a2
⇒(a2+1)24(1+a2)=a2+12.... (i)
Now given ∣z∣=52
so 52=1+a22 from equation (i)
By squaring both sides
⇒52=1+a24
⇒1+a2=10
a2 = 9
⇒ a = ± 3
∵ (a > 0) then a = 3
Now z=3+i(1−i)2
= 3+i(1+i2−2i)
= (3+i)(3−i)(1+i2−2i)(3−i)
= (9−i2)(−2i)(3−i)
= 10(−2i)(3−i)
= 10−6i+2i2
= 10−6i−2
= −51−53i

Tr=(2r+1)(2r(r+1))2×r(r+1)(2r+1)6
Tr=23r(r+1)
Now, S=r=1∑10Tr=23r=1∑10(r2+r)
⇒23{610×(10+1)(2×10+1)+210×11}

Official Correct Answer:Option (B)
Step-by-Step Solution:
Equation of tangent at (3,−29) to a2x2+b2y2=1 is
a23x−2b2y9=1 which is equivalent to x – 2y = 12
a23=2b2(−2)−9=121 (On comparing)
a2=3×12 and b2=49×12

following statements is not true ?
A
g(f(S)) = S
B
f(g(S)) = S
C
f(g(S)) = f(S)
D
g(f(S)) = g(S)
Official Correct Answer:Option (D)
Step-by-Step Solution:
f(x) = x2 x ∈ R
g(A) = {x ∈ R : f(x) ∈ A} S ≡ [0, 4]
g(S) = {x ∈ R : f(x) ∈ S}
= {x ∈ R : 0 ≤ x2≤ 4}
= {x ∈ R : –2 ≤ x ≤ 2}
∴ g(S) = S
∴ f(g(S)) = f(S)
g(f(S)) = {x ∈ R : f(x) ∈ f(S)}
= {x ∈ R : x2∈ S2}
= {x ∈ R : 0 ≤ x2≤ 16}
= {x ∈ R : –4 ≤ x ≤ 4}
∴ g(f(S)) = g(S)
∴ g(f(S)) = g(S) is incorrect
