MCQ
$Assertion :$ Two thin blankets put together are warmer than a single blanket of double the thickness.
$Reason :$ Thickness increases because of air layer enclosed between the two blankets.
  • A
    If both Assertion and Reason are correct and the Reason is a correct explanation of the Assertion.
  • B
    If both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not a correct explanation of the Assertion.
  • If the Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect.
  • D
    If both the Assertion and Reason are incorrect.

Answer

Correct option: C.
If the Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect.
c
Two thin blankets put together are more warm because an insulating layer of air (as air is good insulator of heat) is enclosed between two blankets due to which it gives more warmness.

A body is at rest at $x=0$. At $t=0$, it starts moving in the positive $x-$ direction with a constant acceleration. At the same instant another body passes through $x=0$ moving in the positive $x$ direction with a constant speed. The position of the first body is given by $x_{1} (t)$ after time $t$ and that of the second body by $x_{2}(t)$ after the same time interval. Which of the following graphs correctly describe $\left(x_{1}-x_{2}\right)$ as a function of time $t$?

A constant torque is applied to a rigid body, whose moment of inertia is 4kg−m2 around the axis of rotation. If the wheel starts from rest and attains an angular velocity of 20 rad/ s in 10s, what is the applied torque:
A circular platform is free to rotate in a horizontal plane about a vertical axis passing through its center. A tortoise is sitting at the edge of the platform. Now, the platform is given an angular velocity $\omega_0$. When the tortoise moves along a chord of the platform with a constant velocity (with respect to the platform), the angular velocity of the platform $w (t)$ will vary with time $t$ as
