Assertion : If we perform an experiment in our laboratory today and repeat the same experiment on the same objects under identical conditions after a year, the results are found to be the same .
Reason : The laws of nature do not change with time.

A

a) If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.

B

b) If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.

C

c) If assertion is true but reason is false.

D

d) If both assertion and reason are false.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Laws of nature like law of conservation of energy do not change with time. So reason is the correct explanation of assertion.

Assertion : A stone and a feather dropped from the same height do not reach the ground at the same time. Reason : Acceleration due to gravity is dependent on the mass of the object.

Two vessels separately contain two ideal gases A and B at the same temperature, the pressure of A being twice that of B. Under such conditions, the density of A is found to be 1.5 times the density of B. The ratio of molecular weights of A and B is :

Read the following paragraph carefully and answer the following question . If the heat is exchanged between a hot and cold object,the temperature of the cold object goes on increasing due to gain of energy and the temperature of the hot object goes on decreasing due to loss of energy . The change in temperature continues till the tempertaures of both the object attain the same value . In the process, the cold object gains heat energy and the hot object lose heat energy . If the system of both the object is isolated form the environment by keeping it inside a heat resistance box ( meaning that the energy exchange takes place between the two object only), then no energy can flow from inside the box or come into the box. Which principle do we learn about from this process ?

Reaction time : When a situation demands our immediate action, it takes some time before we really respond. Reaction time is the time a person takes to observe, think and act. For example, if a person is driving and suddenly a boy appears on the road, then the time elapsed before he slams the brakes of the car is the reaction time. Reaction time depends on complexity of the situation and on an individual. You can measure your reaction time by a simple experiment. Take a ruler and ask your friend to drop it vertically through the gap between your thumb and forefinger (Fig.). After you catch it, find the distance d travelled by the ruler. In a particular case, d was found to be 21.0 cm. Estimate reaction time.

Consider a tank which initially holds V_(0) liter of brine that contains a lb of salt. Another brine solution, containing b lb of salt per liter is poured into the tank at the rate of eL//"min" . The problem is to find the amount of salt in the tank at any time t. Let Q denote the amount of salt in the tank at any time. The time rate of change of Q, (dQ)/(dt) , equals the rate at which salt enters the tank at the rate at which salt leaves the tank. Salt enters the tank at the rate of be lb/min. To determine the rate at which salt leaves the tank, we first calculate the volume of brine in the tank at any time t, which is the initial volume V_(0) plus the volume of brine added et minus the volume of brine removed ft. Thus, the volume of brine at any time is V_(0)+et-ft The concentration of salt in the tank at any time is Q//(V_(0)+et-ft) , from which it follows that salt leaves the tank at the rate of f(Q/(V_(0)+et-ft)) lb/min. Thus, (dQ)/(dt)=be-f(Q/(V_(0)+et-ft))Q=be A tank initially holds 100 L of a brine solution containing 20 lb of salt. At t=0, fresh water is poured into the tank at the rate of 5 L/min, while the well-stirred mixture leaves the tank at the same rate. Then the amount of salt in the tank after 20 min.

While doing an experiment for the determination of focal length of a convex lens, Raja Suddenly dropped the lens. It got broken into two halves along the axis. If he continues his experiment with the same lens, Is there any change in the focal length ?

Lift an object up from the ground. Work done by the force exerted by you on the object moves it in upward direction. Thus the force applied is in the direction of displacement. However there exists a force of gravitation on the object at the same time • Which one of these forces is doing positive work? • Which one is doing negative work? • Give reasons

Take a small stone. Hold it in your hand. We know that the force gravity due to the earth acts on each and every object. When we were holding the stone in our hand, the stone was experiencing this force, but it was balanced by a force that we were applying on it in the opposite direction. As a result, the stone remained at rest. Once we release the stone from our hands the only force that acts on it is the gravitational force of the earth and the stone falls down under its influence. Whenever an object moves under the influence of the force of gravity alone, it is said to be falling freely. Thus the released stone is in a free fall. In free fall, the initial velocity of the object is zero and goes on increasing due to acceleration due to gravity of the earth. During free fall, the frictional force due to air opposes the motion of the object and a buoyant force also acts on the object. Thus, true free fall is possible only in vacuum. For a freely falling object, the velocity on reaching the earth and the time taken for it can be calculated by using Newton's equations of motion. For free fall the initial velocity u=0 and the acceleration a=g . Thus, we can write the equations as v="gt",s=1/2"gt"^(2),v^(2)=2gs For calculating the motion of an object thrown upwards, acceleration is negative, i.e. in a direction opposite to the velocity and is taken to be -g. The magnitude of g is the same but the velocity of the object decreases due to -ve acceleration. The moon and the artificial satellites are moving only under the influence of the gravitational field of the earth. Thus they are in free fall. Which force acts on the stone in free fall after you release it?
