Anirban Shah answered
A photocell is a practical application of the phenomenon of photoelectric effect. When light of frequency greater than the threshold frequency of the cathode material falls on the cathode, photoelectrons are emitted. These electrons are collected by the anode and an electric current starts flowing in the external circuit. The current increases with the increase in the intensity of light. The current would stop, if the light does not fall on the cathode.

Discovery of Radioactivity

Radioactivity is the property of certain elements to emit radiation spontaneously without any external influence. The discovery of radioactivity is a significant event in the history of science. It is the result of the cumulative efforts of many scientists over the years.

Henri Becquerel

Henri Becquerel was a French physicist who discovered radioactivity in 1896. He was the first person to observe the phenomenon of natural radioactivity. He was carrying out experiments with uranium salts, which he believed to emit light when exposed to sunlight. He wrapped the salts in black paper and placed them on top of photographic plates. When he developed the plates, he found that they had been exposed to some kind of radiation, even though they had not been exposed to light.

Further Contributions

Becquerel's discovery of radioactivity paved the way for further research into the phenomenon. Marie Curie, a Polish-born French physicist, and her husband Pierre Curie conducted extensive research on radioactivity, which led to the discovery of two new elements, radium, and polonium.

Conclusion

In conclusion, Henri Becquerel is credited with the discovery of radioactivity. His discovery opened up a new field of research in physics and chemistry and led to many important discoveries in the field of nuclear science. Today, radioactivity has many practical applications, including in medical imaging and cancer treatment.

Geetika Shah answered
  • Propulsion is the act of moving or pushing an object forward. A propulsion system is an engine that produces thrust to push an object, such as an airplane or rocket, forward.
  • The propulsion of all rockets is explained by the same physical principle: Newton’s third law of motion.
  • It states that all forces exist in pairs: if one object A exerts a force FA on a second object B, then B simultaneously exerts a force FB on A, and the two forces are equal and opposite: FA = −FB.
  • A rocket’s acceleration depends on three major factors: the exhaust velocity, the rate the exhaust is ejected, and the mass of the rocket.
  • To achieve the high speeds needed to hop continents, obtain orbit, or escape Earth’s gravity altogether, the mass of the rocket other than fuel must be as small as possible.

  • d)

Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Rahul Bansal answered
The electromagnetic force is a long range force which acts of charged particles. Like charges repel and unlike charges attract.

The colour force binds quarks together. It binds three quarks to make a baryon such as a proton or neutron. It binds two quarks to make a meson. The strong nuclear force is actually a residual effect of the colour force where quarks in a proton or neutron get bound to quarks in adjacent protons and neutrons. This effectively binds protons and neutrons to make a nucleus.

The weak nuclear force is responsible for radioactive beta decay. It can convert a proton into a neutron, a positron and an electron neutrino. It can also convert a neutron into a proton, an electron and an electron antineutrino.

The strong nuclear force is very short range and can only bind adjacent protons and neutrons. The electromagnetic force is long range. Thus every proton in a nucleus repels every other proton. This is which heavy elements are unstable.

For motion under an external conservative force
  • a)
    the mechanical energy i.e. the potential energy of a body is a constant
  • b)
    the total mechanical energy i.e. the sum of kinetic and potential energy of a body is a constant only if there is no motion
  • c)
    the total mechanical energy i.e. the sum of kinetic and potential energy of a body is a constant
  • d)
    the mechanical energy i.e. the kinetic energy of a body is a constant
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Megha Desai answered
Explanation:

Motion under an external conservative force is a type of motion in which the force acting on the body is conservative, i.e., it can be derived from a potential energy function.

Total Mechanical Energy:

The total mechanical energy of a body is the sum of its kinetic energy and potential energy.

- Kinetic Energy: The energy possessed by a body due to its motion is called kinetic energy. It is given by the formula KE = 1/2mv², where m is the mass of the body and v is its velocity.
- Potential Energy: The energy possessed by a body due to its position or configuration is called potential energy. It is given by the formula PE = mgh, where m is the mass of the body, g is the acceleration due to gravity, and h is the height of the body above a reference level.

Conservation of Mechanical Energy:

In motion under an external conservative force, the total mechanical energy of a body is conserved, i.e., it remains constant throughout the motion.

This can be explained by the principle of conservation of energy, which states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed, but can only be transferred from one form to another.

Since the force acting on the body is conservative, the work done by it is independent of the path taken by the body. Therefore, the work done by the force can be expressed as the difference between the initial and final potential energies of the body.

If the body is moving, then its kinetic energy is also changing. However, the total mechanical energy of the body remains constant, as the increase in kinetic energy is compensated by the decrease in potential energy, and vice versa.

Therefore, the correct option is (c) The total mechanical energy i.e. the sum of kinetic and potential energy of a body is a constant.

Pooja Mehta answered
The weak nuclear force is one of the four fundamental forces of physics through which particles interact with each other, together with the strong force, gravity, and electromagnetism. Compared to both electromagnetism and the strong nuclear force, the weak nuclear force has a much weaker intensity, which is why it has the name weak nuclear force. The theory of the weak force was first proposed by Enrico Fermi in 1933, and was known at that time as Fermi's interaction. The weak force is mediated by two types of gauge bosons: the Z boson and W boson.

Scientific method is a process of investigating phenomena, acquiring new knowledge, or correcting and integrating previous knowledge. It involves a number of steps that include making observations, formulating a hypothesis, and conducting scientific experiments. The correct answer is option 'C'. Let's discuss each step in detail:

1. Making observations: The first step in the scientific method is to make observations of the natural world. These observations can be made through direct or indirect means, and can involve any of the five senses.

2. Formulating a hypothesis: After making observations, scientists formulate a hypothesis or tentative explanation that can account for the observations. A hypothesis is a testable statement that can be supported or refuted through experimentation.

3. Conducting scientific experiments: Once a hypothesis has been formulated, scientists conduct experiments to test the hypothesis. Experiments are designed to isolate the effect of a single variable on the phenomenon being studied, while all other variables are held constant.

4. Analyzing results: After conducting experiments, scientists analyze the results to determine whether they support or refute the hypothesis. This involves statistical analysis and comparing the results to previous studies.

5. Drawing conclusions: Based on the results of the experiments, scientists draw conclusions about the validity of the hypothesis. If the hypothesis is supported, it may be accepted as a scientific theory or law.

In summary, the scientific method involves making observations, formulating a hypothesis, conducting scientific experiments, analyzing results, and drawing conclusions.

  • b)
    Weak nuclear force
  • c)
    Strong nuclear force
  • d)
    Electromagnetic force
Correct answer is 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Nandini Patel answered
The universe has a lot of forces, a lot of pushes and pulls. We're always pushing or pulling something, even if only the ground. But it turns out that in physics, there are really only four fundamental forces from which everything else is derived: the strong force, the weak force, the electromagnetic force, and the gravitational force.

The gravitational force is a force that attracts any two objects with mass. We call the gravitational force attractive because it always tries to pull masses together, it never pushes them apart. In fact, every object, including you, is pulling on every other object in the entire universe! This is called Newton's Universal Law of Gravitation. Admittedly, you don't have a very large mass and so, you're not pulling on those other objects much. And objects that are really far apart from each other don't pull on each other noticeably either. But the force is there and we can calculate it

Which force is weakest of all fundamental forces?
