It is very commonly thought that the sciences and humanities are producing two cultures which are opposed to each other. Science is even accused of not being sympathetic to the well-being of society. All this is due to the debatable use made by some scientists of their discoveries. However, science has now become increasingly aware of its responsibility towards society. Consequently, many scientists are of the opinion that science should be defined in humanistic terms. According, I.I. Rabi defines science as follows : "Science is an adventure of the whole human race to learn to live in and perhaps to love the universe in which they are. To be a part of it is to understand it, to understand oneself, to begin to feel that there is a capacity within man far beyond that he felt he had, of an infinite extension of human possibilities - not just on the material side..." Rabi proposes that science be taught “with a certain historical understanding, with a certain philosophical understanding, with a social understanding and a human understanding". At the moment, we are dealing with physics and one might well ask if we can define physics also in humanistic terms. Gerald Halton provides us with a relevant definition of physics. According to him : "Physics is a sequence of related ideas whose pursuit provides one with the cumulative effect of an even higher vantage point and a more encompassing view of the working of nature. Physics is neither an isolated bloodless body of facts and theories with mere vocational usefulness, nor a glorious entertainment restricted to an elite of specalists. Rather students of physics may leave them unprepared for their own time. They can be neither participants nor even intelligent spectators in one of the great adventures”. It will be no exaggeration if we say that the fate of society is linked to physics as whatever is thought or discovered in physics immediately affects the society. Our intellegence lies in applying physics to solve the pressing problems that the society faces and not to annihilate it. According to I.I Rabi

The horizontal range of a projectile is R and the maximum height attained by it is H. A strong wind now beings to blow in the direction of horizontal motion of projectile, giving to constant horizontal acceleration equal to g. Under the same conditions of projections , the new range will be (g = acceleration due to gravity)

Read the following statements regarding euglenoids and select the incorrect ones. (i) These are mostly freshwater organisms found in stagnant water. (ii) Their body is covered by a protein rich layer called pellicle which makes their body flexible. (iii) They are photosynthetic in the presence of sunlight but become heterotrophs in the absence of sunlight. (iv) They usually prosses tow flagella, one long and one short. (v) Euglenoids are multicellular ciliate protists

A body moving along a straight line traversed one third of the total distance with a velocity 4 m//sec in the first stretch. In the second stretch, the remaining distance is covered with a velocity 2 m//sec for some time t_(0) and with 4 m//s for the remaining time. If the average velocity is 3 m//sec , find the time for which body moves with velocity 4 m//sec in second stretch:

Strong acid versus strong base: The principle of conductometric titrations is based on the fact that during the titration, one of the ions is replaced by the other and invariable these two ions differ in the ionic conductivity with the result that thhe conductivity of the solution varies during the course of the titration. take, for example, the titration between a strong acid, say HCl, and a string base, say NaOH before NaOH is added, the conductance of HCl solution has a high value due to the presence of highly mobile hydrogen ions. As NaOH is added, H^(+) ions are replaced by relatively slower moving Na^(+) ions. consequently the conductance of the solution decreases and this continues right upto the equivalence point where the solution contains only NaCl. Beyond the equivalence point, if more of NaOH is added, then the solution contains a excess of the fast moving OH^(-) ions with the result that its conductance is increased ad it condinues to increase as more and more of NaOH is added. If we plot the conductance value versus the amount of NaOH added, we get a curve of the type shown in Fig. The descending portion AB represents the conductances before the equivalence point (solution contains a mixture of acid HCl and the salt NaCl) and the ascending portion CD represents the conductances after the equivalence point (solution contains the salt NaCl and the excess of NaOH). The point E which represent the minium conductance is due to the solution containing only NaCl with no free acid or alkali and thus represents the equivalence point. this point can, however, be obtained by the extrapolation of the lines AB and DC, and therefore, one is not very particular in locating this point expermentally as it is in the case of ordinary acid-base titrations involving the acid-base indicators. Weak acid versus strong base: Let us take specific example of acetic acid being titrated against NaOH . Before the addition of alkali, the solution shows poor conductance due to feeble ionization of acetic acid. Initially the addition of alkali causes not only the replacement of H^(+) by Na^(+) but also suppresses the dissociation of acetic acid due to the common ion Ac^(-) and thus the conductance of the solution decreases in the beginning. but very soon the conductance start increasing as addition of NaOH neutralizes the undissociated HAc to Na^(+)Ac^(-) thus causing the replacement of non-conducting HAc with Strong-conducting electrolyte Na^(+)Ac^(-) . the increase in conductance continuous right up to the equivalence point. Beyond this point conductance increases more rapidly with the addition of NaOH due to the highly conducting OH^(-) ions, the graph near the equivalence point is curved due to the hydrolysis of the salt NaAc . The actual equivalence point can, as usual, be obtained by the extrapolation method. In all these graphs it has been assumed that the volume change due addition of solution from burrette is negnigible, hence volume change of the solution in beaker the conductance of which is measured is almost constant throughout the measurement. Q. The nature of curve obtained for the titration between weak acid versus strong base as described in the above passage will be:

The vector difference between the absolute velocities of two bodies is called their relative velocity. The concept of relative velocity enables us to treat one body as being at rest while the other is in motion with the relative velocity. This jormalism greatly simplifies many problems. If vecv_(A) is the absolute velocity of a body A and vec_(B) that of another body B then the relative velocity of A in relation to B is vec_(AD)=vecV_(A)-vecv_(B) and vecv_(BA)=vecv_(B) - vecv_(A) . The principle follows here is that the relative velocity of two bodies remains unchaged if the same additional velocity is imparted to both the bodies. A simple way of carrying out this operation is to be represent the velocities in magnitude and direction from a common point. Then the line joining the tips of the vectors represents the relative velocity Q A train A moves to the east with velocity of 40 km/hr and a train B moves due north with velocity of 30 km/hr. The relative velocity of A w.rt. B is
