For q. 26:

equation for doppler effect:

[Speed of sound X Frequency of source]/[Speed of sound + or - speed of source]

so just put in the values and subtract when speed of sound - speed of source (approaching) from speed of sound + speed of source (Receding) ANS= C

for q. 25

for the length of wavelength: I used d = S X T

so wavelenght = 330 X 500 X 10^-6 = 0.165 m

so a translation of 0.165m means shift the graph by 1 lambda or 2 pi or 360 degrees

so basically it will be the same graph ANS= D

hope that helps :)
Thankyou!!

que 34 anyone ?
Resistance of 1st Lamp = 960 (Power = 60W)
Resistance of 2nd Lamp = 40 (Power = 2.5W)

When Connected in series, PD across 1st lamp = (960/1000) * 250 = 240
PD across 2nd lamp = (40/1000) * 250 = 10
Since resistance is constant, Power Dissipated across 1st lamp = 60 W and Power Dissipated across 2nd lamp = 2.5 W.

Hence both lamps light normally.

Can anyone give some advice regarding estimation and approximation in the mcqs?
How to prepare for it?
There were questions on estimating resistance of copper and on estimating young modulus of metals.. how would you approximate such a value without calculation..?

A giant squid of length 20.0m is vertical in seawater, with the top of the squid at a depth of
8.00m. The density of seawater is 1050kgm–3.
What is the difference in pressure between the top and the bottom of the squid?
A 82000Pa B 206000Pa C 288000Pa D 389000Pa
Anyone?

use the pressure formula= density*g*depth
use depth as 20m

Q19.
Ans=C
first find the power produced by the engine itself. so using force*velocity=power hence 30000/25=1200N
notice the car maintains 25m/s therefore forces are balanced and there is no net force.
we need to calculate the weight down the slope.
so 1400*g*sin(2)=479.3.....N
the car has to overcome this force to maintain a constant velocity and it does this by producing an extra output power of 479.3....N*25=12000watts
so total output power= 12000+30000=42000
