You are standing with your bag in your handsd, on the ice n the middle of a pond. The ice is so slippery that it can offer no fricton. How can you come out of the ice?

A skier starts from rest at point A and slides donw the hill without turning or breaking. The friction coefficient is mu When he stops at point B, his horizontal displacement is S. whalt is the height difference between points A and B? (The velocity of the skier is small so that the additional pressure on the snow due to the curvature can vbe neglected. Neglect also the friction of air and the dependence of mu on the velocity of the skier)

Answer question numbers 3(a) - 3(d) on the basis of your understanding of the following paragraph and the related studied concepts: Around the year 1800, only 30 elements were known. Dobereiner in 1817 and Newlands in 1866 tried to arrange the then known elements and framed laws which were rejected by the scientists. Even after the ejection of the proposed laws, many scientists continued to search for a pattern that correlated the properties of elements with their atomic masses. The main credit for classifying elements goes to Mendeleev for his most important contribution to the early development of a Periodic table of elements wherein he arranged the elements on the basis of their fundamental property, the atomic mass and also on the similarity of chemical properties. The formula of their hydrides and oxides were treated as basic criteria for the classification of the elements. However, Mendeleev's classification also had some limitations as it could not assign the position to isotopes. He also left some gaps in the periodic table. 3(a) state Mendeleev's Periodic Law. 3(b) Why did Mendeleev leave some gaps in the Periodic table? 3(c) if the letter 'R' was used to represent any of the elements in the group , then the hydride and oxide of carbon would respectively be represented as (i) RH_4 , RO (ii) RH_4 , RO_2 (iii) RH_2 , RO_2 (iv) RH_2 , RO 3(d) isotopes are (i) atoms of an element with similar chemical properties but different atomic masses. (ii) atoms of different elements with similar chemical properties but different atomic masses. (iii) atoms of an element with different chemical properties but same atomic masses. (iv) atoms of different elements with different chemical properties but same atomic masses.

Out of three states of matter, only the gases have most of the physical properties common. They have neither definite shapes nor definite volume. In addition to this, the gases obey different gas laws such as Boyles's law. Charles law, Dalton's law of partial pressures etc. Based upon these gas laws, ideal gas equation PV = nRT has been derived. Answer the following questions on the basis of above paragraph. (i) what is Dalton's law of partial pressures ? (ii) Derive ideal gas equation on the basis of all gas laws.

Let C_1, C_2, ,C_n be a sequence of concentric circle. The nth circle has the radius n and it has n openings. A points P starts travelling on the smallest circle C_1 and leaves it at an opening along the normal at the point of opening to reach the next circle C_2 . Then it moves on the second circle C_2 and leaves it likewise to reach the third circle C_3 and so on. Find the total number of different path in which the point can come out of nth circle.

A gaseous sample is generally allowed to do only expansion // compression type work against its surroundings The work done in case of an irreversible expansion ( in the intermediate stages of expansion // compression the states of gases are not defined). The work done can be calculated using dw= -P_(ext)dV while in case of reversible process the work done can be calculated using dw= -PdV where P is pressure of gas at some intermediate stages. Like for an isothermal reversible process. Since P=(nRT)/(V) , so w=intdW= - underset(v_(i))overset(v_(f))int(nRT)/(V).dV= -nRT ln(V_(f)/(V_(i))) Since dw= PdV so magnitude of work done can also be calculated by calculating the area under the PV curve of the reversible process in PV diagram. If four identical samples of an ideal gas initially at similar state (P_(0),V_(0),T_(0)) are allowed to expand to double their volumes by four different process. I: by isothermal irreversible process II: by reversible process having equation P^(2)V= constant III. by reversible adiabatic process IV. by irreversible adiabatic expansion against constant external pressure. Then, in the graph shown in the final state is represented by four different points then, the correct match can be
