MCQ
A stretched rubber has
  • A
    Increased kinetic energy
  • Increased potential energy
  • C
    Decreased kinetic energy
  • D
    Decreased potential energy

Answer

Correct option: B.
Increased potential energy
b
(b) Due to stretching, a potential energy is stored in the rubber band which is released on releasing the rubber. Thus, potential energy is increased.

A uniform circular disc of radius $50\, cm$ at rest is free to turn about an axis which is perpendicular to its plane and passes through its centre. It is subjected to a torque which produces a constant angular acceleration of $2.0\, rad \,s^{-2}$. Its net acceleration in $ms^{-2}$ at the end of $2.0\,s$  is approximately
Suppose, the electron in a hydrogen atom makes transition from n = 3 to n = 2 in 10-8s. The order of the torque acting on the electron in this period, using the relation between torque and angular momentum as discussed in the chapter on rotational mechanics is:
  1. 10-34Nm
  2. 10-24Nm
  3. 10-42Nm
  4. 10-8Nm
A cylindrical block of wood (density $= 650\, kg\, m^{-3}$), of base area $30\,cm^2$ and height $54\, cm$, floats in a liquid of density $900\, kg\, m^{-3}$ .

Thief's car is moving with a speed of $10\,m/s$. A police van chasing this car with a speed of $5\,m/s$ fires a bullet at the thief's car with muzzle velocity $72\,km/h$. Find the speed with which the bullet with hit the car.............$m/s$
A raindrop falls near the surface of the earth with almost uniform velocity because:
  1. Its weight is negligible.
  2. The force of surface tension balances its weight.
  3. The force of viscosity of air balances its weight.
  4. The drops are charged and atmospheric electric field balances its weight.
