743 children from the United States, aged 6 through 11, were tested to see if they were overweight . The data are shown in the table below. In 2014 the total population of children between 6 and 11 years old, inclusive , in the United States was about 74.3 million. If the test results are used to estimate information about children across the country, which of the following is the best estimate of the total number of children between 9 and 11 years old in the United States who were overweight in 2014 ?

There are two blocks of masses m_(1) and m_(2) , m_(1) is placed on m_(2) on a table which is rotating with an angular velocity omega about the vertical axis . The coefficent of friction between the block is mu_(1) and between m_(2) and table is mu_(2) (mu_(1) lt mu_(2)) if block are placed at distance R from the axis of ratation , for relative sliding between the surface in contact , find the a. friction force at the contacting surface b. maximum angular speed omega

Looking at deteriorating air quality because of air pollution in many cities of the country the citizen are very much worried and concerned about their helath .The doctors have declared health emergency in the cities where the air quality is very severley poor. (a) Mention any two major cuses of air pollution (b) Write any two harmful effect of air pollution to plants and humans.

Two masses m_(1) and m_(2) are placed at a distance r from each other. Find out the moment of inertia of system about an axis passing through their centre of mass.

A botanist is cultivating a rare species of plant in a controlled environment and currently has 3000 of these plants. The population of this species that the botanist expects to grow next year, N_("next year") , can be estimated from the number of plants this year, N_("this year") , by the equation below. N_("next year")=N_("this year")+0.2(N_("this year"))(1-(N_("this year"))/(K)) The constant K in this formula is the number of plants the environment is able to support. According to the formula, what will be the number of plants two years from now if K = 4000 ? (Round your answer to the nearest whole number.)

India plays two matches each with West Indies and Australia. In any match the probabilities of India getting points 0, 1 and 2 are 0.45, 0.05 and 0.50 respectively. Assuming that the outcomes are independent, the probability of India getting at least 7 points is (a) 0.8750 (b) 0.0875 (c) 0.0625 (d) 0.0250

A well-watered healthy potted plant with variegated leaves was kept in darkness for about 24 hours. It was then set-up as shown in the diagram below and exposed to light for about 12 hours. At the end of this time, leaf X and leal y were tested for starch. Study the diagram and answer the questions that follow The experiment with leaf Y shows that photosynthesis requires the presence of certain factors. Mention any one factor.

Consider Galileo's method of measuring the speed of light using two lanterns. To get an accuracy of about 10%, the time taken by the experimenter in closing or opening the shutter should be about one tenth of the time taken by the light in going from one experimenter to the other. Assume that it takes 1/100 second for an experimenter to close or open the shutter. How far should the two experimenters be to get a 10% accuracy ? What are the difficulties in having this separation ?

(a). Predict the polarity of capacitor C as shown in Fig. 3.26 when poles S and N of two identical magnets approach the coil from opposote sides with equal velocity. The plane of the loop containing the capacitor is perpendicualr to the plane of the paper. (b). A magnetic field perpendicular to the plane of a rectangular frame of wire is concentrated about O . If the field decreases, will there be any emf induced in loop 1 ? What about loop 2 ? Explain why.
