A quantity of a substance in a closed system is made to undergo a reversible process from an initial volume of 3 m^(3) and initial pressure 10^(5) N//m^(2) to a final volume of 5m^(3) . If the pressure is proportional to the square of the volume (i.e,P=AV^(2)) , the work done by the substance will be

According to the principle of conservation of linear momentum, if the external force acting on the system is zero, the linear momentum of the system will remain conserved. It means if the centre of mass of a system is initially at rest, it will remain, at rest in the absence of external force, that is, the displacement of centre of mass will be zero. Two blocks of masses 'm' and '2m' are placed as shown in Fig. There is no friction anywhere. A spring of force constant k is attached to the bigger block. Mass 'm' is kept in touch with the spring but not attached to it. 'A' and 'B' are two supports attached to '2m' . Now m is moved towards left so that spring is compressed by distance 'x' and then the system is released from rest. Find the relative velocity of the blocks after 'm' leaves contact with the spring.

In the figure shown, blocks P and Q are in contact but do not stick to each other. The lower face of P behaves as a plane mirror. The springs are in their natural lengths. The system is released from rest. Then the distance between P and Q when Q is at the lowest point first time will be

Read the following statements carefully : (1) Gap junction facilitates the cells to communicate with each other by connecting the cytoplasm of two adjoining cells to cytoplasm of two adjoining cells . (2) Adhering junctions help to stop substances from leaking across a tissue . (3) compound epithelium covers the dry surface of the skin only and provides protection against chemical and mechanical stresses. (4) most of the bones in vertebrates embryos are replaced by cartilages in adults. How many of the above statement is/are correct ?

How many of the following statement(s) is/are true regarding plant water relations? A. A mature corn plant absorbs almost three litres of water in three hours only while a mustard plant absorbs water equal to its own weight in about five hours. B.Diffusion is a slow process and is dependent on a 'living system'. C.When a plant cell is placed in a hypertonic solution, water moves out first from the cytoplasm and then from the vacuole. D. All solutions have a higher water potential than pure water due to dissolution of solutes.
