Q 2PhysicsSection A • MCQsimple harmonic motion
+4 / -1
A mass M is suspended from a spring of negligible mass. The spring is pulled a little and then released so that the mass executes SHM of time period T. If the mass is increased by m. the time period becomes 35T. Then the ratio of Mm is
A
53
B
925
C
916
D
35
Official Correct Answer:Option (C)
Step-by-Step Solution:
The time period of a simple harmonic motion (SHM) performed by a mass-spring system is given by the formula:
T=2πkM
where:
T is the time period,
M is the mass of the object, and
k is the spring constant.
We know that if the mass is increased by m, the time period becomes 35T. We can set up an equation for this new scenario:
35T=2πkM+m
Since we know that T=2πkM, we can substitute T in the equation above:
35⋅2πkM=2πkM+m
Squaring both sides of the equation to eliminate the square root, we get:
925⋅kM=kM+m
Solving for Mm, we get:
Mm=925−1=916

A
2.5R
B
4.5R
C

D
1.5R
Official Correct Answer:Option (C)
Step-by-Step Solution:
Let t be the time taken for the two masses to collide and x5M,xM be the distance travelled by the mass 5M and M respectively.
The gravitational force acting between two sphere when the distance between them (12R - x) where x is a variable,
F=(12R−x)2GM×5M
Acceleration of mass M, aM=(12R−x)2G×5M
Acceleration of mass 5M, a5M=(12R−x)2GM
For mass 5M
u=0,S=x5M,t=t,a=a5M
S=ut+21at2
∴x5M=21a5Mt2...(i)
For mass M
u=0,s=xM,t=t,a=aM
∴s=ut+21at2⇒
xM=21aMt2...(ii)
Dividing (ii) by (iii)
xMx5M=21aMt221a5Mt2
=aMa5M=51
∴5x5M=xM...(iii)
From the figure,
x5M+xM=12R−2R−R=9R...(iv)
From (iii) and (iv)
5xM+xM=9R
∴6xM=45R
∴xM=645R=7.5R
So two sphere collide when the sphere of mass M covered the distance of 7.5R.

Consider the following two statements :
A. Linear momentum of a system of particles is zero
B. Kinetic energy of a system of particles is zero.
then
A
A does not imply B and B does not imply A
B
A implies B but B does not imply A
C
A does not imply B but B implies A
D
A implies B and B implies A
Official Correct Answer:Option (A)
Step-by-Step Solution:
The correct answer is Option A : A does not imply B and B does not imply A.
Here's why :
Statement A: The linear momentum of a system of particles being zero does not mean that the kinetic energy is also zero. For example, consider two equal mass particles moving with the same speed but in opposite directions. The linear momentum of the system will be zero because momentum is a vector quantity and the two momenta will cancel out. However, kinetic energy is a scalar quantity and does not cancel out in this way. Each particle has kinetic energy due to its motion, so the total kinetic energy of the system is not zero.
Statement B: The kinetic energy of a system of particles being zero also does not imply that the linear momentum is zero. If the kinetic energy is zero, it means that all the particles are at rest (since kinetic energy is associated with motion). However, the linear momentum will also be zero in this case because momentum depends on both mass and velocity, and the velocity of each particle is zero.
But remember that zero linear momentum doesn't exclusively mean all particles are at rest. As explained above, it could be the scenario where particles have equal and opposite momenta, thereby cancelling each other. Hence, B doesn't imply A.
So, neither statement implies the other. Hence, Option A is correct.

The atomic numbers of Vanadium (V), Chromium (cr), Manganese (Mn) and Iron (Fe), respectively, 23,24,2523,24,2523,24,25 and 262626. Which one of these may be expected to have the higher second ionization enthalpy?
A
Cr
B
Mn
C
Fe
D
V
Official Correct Answer:Option (A)
Step-by-Step Solution:
Ionization enthalpy is the energy required to remove the electron from the outer most orbit.
After first ionization enthalpy the electronic configuration will be,
\eqalign{
& \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,V\left( {23} \right) = \left[ {Ar} \right]\,\,\,3{d^3}\,\,\,4{S^1} \cr
& \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,Cr\left( {24} \right) = \left[ {Ar} \right]\,\,\,3{d^5} \cr
& \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,Mn\left( {25} \right) = \left[ {Ar} \right]\,\,\,3{d^5}\,\,\,4{S^1} \cr
& \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,Fe\left( {26} \right) = \left[ {Ar} \right]\,\,\,3{d^6}\,\,\,4{S^1} \cr}
Now in 2nd ionization enthalpy one more electron will be removed. And after second ionization enthalpy electronic configuration will be,
\eqalign{
& \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,V\left( {23} \right) = \left[ {Ar} \right]\,\,\,3{d^3} \cr
& \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,Cr\left( {24} \right) = \left[ {Ar} \right]\,\,\,3{d^4} \cr
& \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,Mn\left( {25} \right) = \left[ {Ar} \right]\,\,\,3{d^5} \cr
& \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,Fe\left( {26} \right) = \left[ {Ar} \right]\,\,\,3{d^6} \cr}
For V(23),Mn(25)V(23), Mn (25)V(23),Mn(25) and Fe(26)Fe (26)Fe(26) electron is removed from 4S4S4S orbital but for Cr(24)Cr (24)Cr(24) electron is removed from 3d3d3d orbital.
We know distance of 4S>3d4S\,\, > \,\,3d4S>3d from the nucleus. So, the attraction on the electrons of 454545 shell is less compared to 3d3d3d shell by the nucleus. So, the removed of electron will be easier for the electrons of 4S4S4S shell than 3d3d3d shell.
So, for Cr(24)Cr(24)Cr(24) second ionization is more than other as electron is removed from 3d3d3d shell.
And for Cr(24)Cr(24)Cr(24) outer most shell ′′3d′′''3d''′′3d′′ was half filled after 1st1st1st ionization enthalpy, so 3d3d3d shell was stable. So removal of electron will be difficult from stable shell. That is why also 2nd2nd2nd ionization enthalpy of Cr(24)Cr(24)Cr(24) is higher compare to other given atoms.

Graphite is a soft solid lubricant extremely difficult to melt. The reason for this anomalous behaviour is that
graphite :
A
is an allotropic form of diamond
B
has molecules of variable molecular masses like polymers
C
has carbon atoms arranged in large plates of rings of strongly bound carbon atoms with weak interplate bonds
D
is a non-crystalline substance
Official Correct Answer:Option (C)
Step-by-Step Solution:
In graphite, carbon is sp2s{p^2}sp2 hybridized. Each carbon is thus linked to three other carbon atoms forming hexagonal rings. Since only three electrons of each carbon are used in making hexagonal ring, fourth electron of each carbon is free to move. This makes graphite a good conductors of heat and electricity. Further graphite has a two dimensional sheet like structure. These various sheets are held together by weak van der Waal's force of attraction. due to these weak forces of attraction, one layer can slip over the other. This makes graphite soft and a good lubricating agent.

What may be expected to happen when phosphine gas is mixed with chlorine gas?
A
PCI3 and HCI are formed and the mixture warms up
B
PCI5 and HCI are formed and the mixture cools down
C
PH3.Cl2 is formed with warming up
D
The mixture only cools down
Official Correct Answer:Option (A)
Step-by-Step Solution:
When phosphine gas (PH₃) is mixed with chlorine gas (Cl₂), the reaction between them depends on the conditions and the proportions of the reactants. Let's consider the options :
Option A : PCl₃ and HCl are formed and the mixture warms up.
When phosphine gas reacts with chlorine gas, one of the possible products is phosphorus trichloride (PCl₃) along with hydrogen chloride (HCl). This reaction is exothermic, meaning it releases heat and causes the mixture to warm up.
Option B : PCl₅ and HCl are formed and the mixture cools down.
Phosphorus pentachloride (PCl₅) can be formed if an excess of chlorine is used, but this reaction is also exothermic. The formation of PCl₅ is less likely with PH₃ as it requires a higher proportion of chlorine and controlled conditions.
Option C : PH₃·Cl₂ is formed with warming up.
There is no known stable compound like PH₃·Cl₂ formed directly from the reaction of phosphine and chlorine gas. This option does not represent a typical chemical reaction product.
Option D : The mixture only cools down.
Chemical reactions between phosphine and chlorine are exothermic, so this statement is incorrect.
Based on this analysis, the most likely and correct reaction is described in Option A : PCl₃ and HCl are formed, and the mixture warms up. This reaction is feasible and aligns with the known chemistry of phosphine and chlorine gases.

(1) \,\,\, alcohol will be CH3CH2 OH
(2) \,\,\, ether will be CH3−-− O −-− CH3
In Alcohol there is hydrogen bond and in Ether there is Van der walls force of attraction.
We know that H bond is stronger bond than van der walls force of attraction as the atoms of alcohol are strongly attached with each other by hydrogen bonding so tendency of vaporization of alcohol is less compared to ether.
In alcohol inter-molecular hydrogen bonding look like this -

The reduction in atomic size with increase in atomic number is a characteristic of elements of
A
ddd - block
B
fff - block
C
Radioactive series
D
High atomic masses.
Official Correct Answer:Option (D)
Step-by-Step Solution:
This can't be fff - block elements as fff block means only lanthanides and actinides but we know lanthanide contraction happens on the elements before lantanidine elements also. So, radius also decrease for those element when increase the atomic number.
Radioactive Series starts from atomic number 848484 ( Polonium ) and affer that all are radioactive. But we know before 848484 atomic number also the atomic size decrease with increase in atomic number. So, only radioactive series don't show this characteristic.
So, correct answer should be high atomic mass.

Which one of the following compounds has the smallest bond angle in its molecule?
A
OH2
B
SH2
C
NH3
D
SO2
Official Correct Answer:Option (B)
Step-by-Step Solution:
(a) H2O is sp3 hybridized, and oxygen atom has 2 bond pair and 2 lone pair. So the angle between two O −-− H bond is 104.5o
(b) In H2S molecule, central atom S is a 3rd period element and according to Dragos rule, when a 3rd period or higher period element overlap with a small element whose electronegetivity is low then that over lapping cannot be a effective overlapping, because of higher size of 3rd or higher periods element and smaller size of low electronegative element.
Here in H2S, H atom has very low electronegativity and smaller in size so it create more negative charge around sulphur(s) atom and size of S−-−2 ion increases, because of this higher size difference efficiency overlapping is not possible. So, any hybridization do not happen in between S and H atom. Lone pair electrons of S atom is present in the pure orbital like s, px, py, pz and it look like this :
As we know the angle between and py is 90o, so bond angle is 90o.
(c) NH3 has sp3 hybridization and N atom has 3 bond pair and one lone pair so bond angle is 107o
(d) SO2 is sp2 hybridized and bond angle is 117o.

When argument of a complex number is π2{\pi \over 2}2π, it means it is making an angle of π2{\pi \over 2}2π with the real axis in the counterclockwise, so it is along the imaginary axis and positive side of imaginary axis.
So, zω{{z \over \omega }}ωz is a purely imaginary number that means there is no real part in this complex number.
So we can assume,

Official Correct Answer:Option (B)
Step-by-Step Solution:
f(x)=ax2+bx+cf\left( x \right) = a{x^2} + bx + cf(x)=ax2+bx+c
⇒a+b+c=a−b+c\Rightarrow a + b + c = a - b + c⇒a+b+c=a−b+c
or b=0b = 0b=0
∴\therefore∴f(x)=ax2+cf\left( x \right) = a{x^2} + cf(x)=ax2+c
or f′(x)=2axf'\left( x \right) = 2axf′(x)=2ax
Now f′(a);f′(b);f'\left( a \right);f'\left( b \right);f′(a);f′(b);
and f′(c)f'\left( c \right)f′(c) are 2a(a);2a(b);2a(c)2a\left( a \right);2a\left( b \right);2a\left( c \right)2a(a);2a(b);2a(c)
i.e.2a2,2ab,2ac.\,2{a^2},\,2ab,\,2ac.2a2,2ab,2ac.
⇒\Rightarrow⇒ If a,b,ca,b,ca,b,c are in A.P.A.P.A.P. then
f′(a);f′(b)f'\left( a \right);f'\left( b \right)f′(a);f′(b) and

C
a2=2b{a^2} = 2ba2=2b
D
a2=3b{a^2} = 3ba2=3b
Official Correct Answer:Option (D)
Step-by-Step Solution:
Given quadratic equation,
Z2+aZ+b=0{Z^2} + aZ + b = 0Z2+aZ+b=0 and two roots are Z1{Z_1}Z1 and Z2{Z_2}Z2.
∴\therefore∴Z1{Z_1}Z1 + Z2{Z_2}Z2 = −a-a−a and Z1{Z_1}Z1Z2{Z_2}Z2 = bbb
Question says,
There are three complex numbers:
1. Origin (0)
2. Z1{Z_1}Z1 3. Z2{Z_2}Z2 and they form an equilateral triangle. So They are the vertices of the triangle.
[ Important Point : If Z1{Z_1}Z1, Z2{Z_2}Z2 and Z3{Z_3}Z3 are the vertices of an equilateral triangle then -
Z12Z_1^2Z12 + Z22Z_2^2Z22 + Z32Z_3^2Z32 = Z1Z2{Z_1}{Z_2}Z1Z2 + Z2Z3{Z_2}{Z_3}Z2Z3 + Z3Z1{Z_3}{Z_1}Z3Z1 ]
In this question,
Z1{Z_1}Z1 = 0, Z2{Z_2}Z2 = Z1{Z_1}Z1 and Z3{Z_3}Z3 = Z2{Z_2}Z2
[ Note : This question is asked to check if you know the following formula -

Official Correct Answer:Option (D)
Step-by-Step Solution:
We have f:N→If:N \to If:N→I
If xxx and yyy are two even natural numbers,
then f(x)=f(y)⇒−x2=−y2⇒x=yf\left( x \right) = f\left( y \right) \Rightarrow {{ - x} \over 2} = {{ - y} \over 2} \Rightarrow x = yf(x)=f(y)⇒2−x=2−y⇒x=y
Again if xxx and yyy are two odd natural numbers then
f(x)=f(y)⇒x−12=y−12⇒x=yf\left( x \right) = f\left( y \right) \Rightarrow {{x - 1} \over 2} = {{y - 1} \over 2} \Rightarrow x = yf(x)=f(y)⇒2x−1=2y−1⇒x=y
∴\therefore∴fff is onto.
Also each negative integer is an image of even natural number and each positive integer is an image of odd natural number.
∴\therefore∴fff is onto.
Hence fff is one one and onto both.
