- Blocks of mass 2 kg and 3 kg are in contact on a frictionless horizontal surface. A horizontal force of 10 N is applied to the 2 kg block. The contact force between the blocks is Answer: C. 6 N a=10/5=2 m/s²; force on 3 kg block =3×2=6 N. 1
- A ball of mass 0.15 kg moving at 20 m/s is hit straight back with the same speed. If the contact lasts 0.01 s, the average force on the ball is Answer: C. 600 N Δ p=0.15×40=6 N s; F=6/0.01=600 N. 1
- A planet has the same mean density as the earth but twice its radius. If the escape speed on earth is 11.2 km/s, the escape speed on the planet is Answer: A. 22.4 km/s v_e=√(2GM/R)=R√(8π Gρ/3)∝ R for equal density, so 2×11.2=22.4 km/s. 1
- At what height above the earth's surface does the acceleration due to gravity become one-fourth of its value on the surface? (R = 6400 km) Answer: A. 6400 km g/4=g/(1+h/R)²⇒1+h/R=2⇒ h=R . 1
- 100 g of water at 80 °C is mixed with 200 g of water at 20 °C. Neglecting heat losses, the final temperature is Answer: D. 40 °C 100(80-T)=200(T-20)⇒ T=40 °C. 1
- A source of frequency 900 Hz moves towards a stationary observer at 34 m/s. If the speed of sound is 340 m/s, the frequency heard is Answer: A. 1000 Hz n'=nv/v-v_s=900×340/306=1000 Hz. 1
- A convex lens of focal length 20 cm is placed in contact with a concave lens of focal length 40 cm. The combination behaves as a Answer: D. convex lens of focal length 40 cm 1/F=frac120-frac140=frac140 ; positive, so converging, F = 40 cm. 1
- The critical angle for light going from glass (\(\mu=1.5\)) to air is Answer: B. sin⁻¹(2/3) sin C=frac1μ=2/3 . 1
- A wire of resistance R is stretched uniformly until its length is doubled. Its new resistance is Answer: C. 4R Volume constant: A→ A/2 . R=ρl/A→ρ2l/A/2=4R . 1
- The packing efficiency of a body-centred cubic (bcc) unit cell is Answer: C. 68% In bcc, 4r=sqrt3a ; two atoms occupy 2·4/3π r³/a³≈0.68 of the cell. 1
- An element with molar mass 60 g mol-1 forms an fcc lattice with edge length 400 pm. Its density is approximately (\(N_A=6.022\times10^{23}\)) Answer: D. 6.23 g cm-3 ρ=ZM/a³N_A=frac4×60(4×10⁻⁸)³×6.022×10²³=240/38.54≈6.23 g cm⁻³. 1
- In a cubic solid, atoms A occupy the corners and atoms B occupy the face centres. If one A atom is missing from one corner of each unit cell, the formula of the compound is Answer: D. A7B24 A =7×1/8=7/8 , B =6×1/2=3 . Ratio 7/8:3=7:24 . 1
- Which of the following defects does NOT change the density of an ionic crystal? Answer: D. Frenkel defect In a Frenkel defect an ion only shifts to an interstitial site, so mass and volume stay the same. 1
- 1.8 g of glucose (molar mass 180 g mol-1) is dissolved in 100 g of water. The elevation in boiling point is (\(K_b=0.52\) K kg mol-1) Answer: D. 0.052 K m=0.01/0.1=0.1 mol kg⁻¹; Δ T_b=0.52×0.1=0.052 K. 1
- The osmotic pressure of a 0.1 M aqueous solution of a non-electrolyte at 300 K is (R = 0.082 L atm K-1 mol-1) Answer: C. 2.46 atm π=CRT=0.1×0.082×300=2.46 atm. 1
- Which of the following liquid pairs shows a negative deviation from Raoult's law? Answer: C. Acetone + chloroform Acetone and chloroform form hydrogen bonds with each other, so the A–B attraction is stronger than A–A and B... 1
- The pH of 0.1 M acetic acid (\(K_a=1.8\times10^{-5}\)) is approximately Answer: B. 2.87 [H^+]=√(K_aC)=sqrt1.8×10⁻⁶=1.34×10⁻³ M; pH ≈2.87 . 1
