We know S = d / t = 40 / 2.5 = 16 m/s
Uncertainty in speed = (uncertainty in distance + uncertainty in time) x speed
--------"--------------- = ( (0.1/40 ) + (0.05/2.5) ) x 16 = 0.36 ≈ 0.4 (1dp) = C

For projectile motion, the vertical acceleration is the same throughout and is equal to g. There is no component of acceleration in the horizontal direction, so horizontal velocity is unchanged. But vertical speed changes due to which the resultant velocity changes.

L is moved further to the right, so there is a bigger clockwise moment, meaning there need to be a bigger anticlockwise moment to counter it.
note the system is in equilibrium so there must be no net force and no net torque
immediately eliminate A and B because there is a horizontal H force that is unbalanced
now the logic comes for C, D.
for D, the reaction is shifted closer to the right (you can consider centre of mass shifted closer to right), so clockwise moment decreases, anticlockwise moment increases. Thus balances the system. so D is correct

We know that E is inversely proportional to the area, and directly proportional to the length.
Now, when we increase the length to 3L, the extension also increases 3 times → 3x.
But becoz we increase the diameter to 2D, we have increased the area by 4 times. A = π(d/2)^2 → A is now 4A.
And since extension is INVERSELY proportional to area, the extension now falls → x/4

So, the new wire's extension = 3x/4
Ans = B

Use formula :
0.5 * F * extension
0.5 * F * ((40) - (40*5)) ≈ 1.3 J

F = qV / D
F = [(1.6 x 10^-19) x (80)] / (5*10^-2) ≈ 2.6 x 10^-16

I = V / R

The wires are connected in parallel - that's the first thing you need to notice, and the best way of noticing this is looking at the arrangement - none of the wires are connected directly to each other, but each one of them has the same starting point and the same ending point. This usually means they have the same potential difference applied across their ends, which means they are connected in parallel.

So each cable has a resistance as a function of length, and for 1.0 km, we need to calculate the overall resistance.
The resistance formula for multiple resistances connected in parallel to each other is

1/R(equivalent) = 1/R₁ + 1/R₂ + 1/R₃ + 1/R₄ + 1/R₅ + 1/R₆.........

So we have 1 resistance of 100Ω (the steel core) and 6 resistances of 10Ω (the copper wires). Let's put this into the equation:

1/R(equivalent) = 1/100 + 1/10 + 1/10 + 1/10 + 1/10 + 1/10 + 1/10
= 1/100 + 6/10
= 1/100 + 60/100
= 61/100
= 0.61
So since 1/R(equivalent) = 0.61, R(equivalent) = 1/0.61 = 1.63Ω = 1.6Ω = B.

D,
as From the law of conservation OF momentum we will get the final speed when objects combine, that is 2 ms^-1,
Now,
final kinetic of the system is (.5)(1+2)(2)^2= 6 J
Initial K.E= .5(2)(3^2)= 9J
By subtracting we will get change that is 3 J

Let's take one second. A column of air 10 meters long and with an area of 2000 m² or a volume of 20000 m³ moves past the blades. That has a mass of
20000 m³ x 1.3 kg/m³ or 26e4 kg

KE of that air is ½mV² = ½(26e4)(10)² = 1.3e7 J
50% of that is 6.5e6 J
since this is every second, the power is 6.5e6 J/s or 6.5 MW

Take the load on the right-hand side string. Since that load is in equilibrium, the tension force on it has to be equal to it's weight, which we are given is 100 Newtons.

Now take the scale on the right. The scale will tell us how hard the string is pulling on it, which is the definition of the tension in the string. So the tension in the left-hand string is given to us by the reading on the scale. Since this is 20 Newtons, the tension in the left-hand side string is also 20 Newtons.

Whenever the disc rotates a little, it loses energy because the tension in the string does a little work on the disc - take the right-hand string. The disc rotates in an anti-clockwise direction, such that the point of contact with the right-hand string moves upwards (Imagine it - the disc rotates, so the point on the right moves a little bit up). Since the force of tension acts downwards, the work done by the force is negative (because force and displacement are in the opposite direction, F.s becomes negative).

The work done by the force in 1 second is the (Magnitude of Force) * (distance traveled). The distance traveled by the point where the string contacts the disc is equal to 50 revolutions (every second, it goes around 50 times). This distance = 50 * 2πr.
We are told that circumference = 0.30 meters. Since circumference = 2πr, we can say that 2πr = 0.3 meters.
So distance = 50 * 0.3 = 15 meters.

Therefore, the work done by this 100 Newton force = - 100 * 15 = - 1500 Joules per Second. = -1500 Watts.

On the other side, the tension in the left-hand side string does positive work (because it acts downwards, and the point in contact with the string also moves downwards with the rotation). The distance traveled is the same, 15 meters, but the work done is positive because both the distance and force are in the same direction (downwards).

This work = + 20 Newtons * 15 meters = 300 Joules per Second = 300 Watts.

Therefore, the net power by external force = -1500 + 300 = -1200 Watts.
Since the disc keeps spinning at a constant rate and is not slowing down, the motor has to provide this much power per second to counter the effects of the external force. Therefore, the power of the motor is 1200 Watts = 1.2 kW = B.

Pressure=height*density*gravitational pull
pressure is already given which is due to BOTH the liquids
if the height for oil is x then for water it is 2000-x
17.5*10^6=(pressure of oil)+(pressure of water)
17.5*10^6=(830*x*9.81)+(1000*(2000-x)*9.81)
17.5*10^6=8142.3x+19620000-9810x
-2120000/-1667.6=x

What you dont get ?
Force will be same thorough out the distance... Why will it vary ?

Find lost volts..
V = E - Ir
I = E / (R +r)
I = 0.8A
V = 12 - (0.8 * 2)
V = 10.4V
Now P = VI
P = 10.4 * 0.8 = 8.3W

35)
v1 = 600 / (600+3000/7) * 3 = 1.75V
v2 = 3000/7 / ( 3000/7 +600) * 3 = 1.25V
v = v1 - v2 = 0.5V

Here R = V/I
so, as R increase, V increases and I decreases...
So here Variable resistor is connected in series with other resistor, so its resistance would decrease hence V decreases
And Ammeter readings will be unchanged as it is in parallel... :)

Force = mass times acceleration
total mass = 4m so,
F=4ma
a=F/4m
F(Y)=3m x F/4m = 3F/4

Ok..This is Tricky But involves Math Skills..!!
Look Proton Has Charge of (+)1.! We need to end Up at One Using Values of Up quark and Down Quark.!

If U Take 2 UpQuarks = (+)(2/3) * 2 = (+)(4/3)
And One Down Quark = (-)(1/3) * 1 = (-)(1/3)
When You add them Together..
(+)(4/3) + (-)(1/3)= (+)1
