MCQ
$A$ disc is rotating with constant angular velocity about an axis passing through centre $C$ and perpendicular to the plane of disc. An insect is moving over the disc along radial direction with constant velocity with respect to the disc. Acceleration of the insect at the instant when its distance from centre is $r$, will be :-
  • A
    $rw^2$ towards the centre
  • B
    $rw^2$ away from the centre
  • C
    Less than $rw^2$ in magnitude
  • Greater than $rw^2$ in magnitude

Answer

Correct option: D.
Greater than $rw^2$ in magnitude
d
As insect moves outwards its tangential speed (in ground frame) increases.

A metallic rod of cross-sectional area $9.0\,\,cm^2$ and length $0.54 \,\,m$, with the surface insulated to prevent heat loss, has one end immersed in boiling water and the other in ice-water mixture. The heat conducted through the rod melts the ice at the rate of $1 \,\,gm$ for every $33 \,\,sec$. The thermal conductivity of the rod is ....... $ Wm^{-1} K^{-1}$
As shown in the figure,$P$ and $Q$ are two coaxial conducting loops separated by some distance. When the switch $S$ is closed, a clockwise current ${I_P}$ flows in $P$ (as seen by $E$) and an induced current ${I_{{Q_1}}}$ flows in $Q.$ The switch remains closed for a long time. When $S$ is opened, a current ${I_{{Q_2}}}$ flows in $Q$. Then the directions of ${I_{{Q_1}}}$ and ${I_{{Q_2}}}$ (as seen by $E$) are    
An ideal gas, initially in state $\left( P _{12}, V _1, T _1\right)$ is expanded isobarically to $\left( P _{12}, V _2, T _2\right)$, then adiabatically $\left( P _{34}, V _3, T _3\right)$. It is then contracted isobarically to $\left( P _{34}, V _4, T _4\right)$ and finally adiabatically back to the initial state. The efficiency of this cycle is
