MCQ
The relation between root mean square speed $\left( v _{ rms }\right)$ and most probable speed $\left( v _{ p }\right)$ for the molar mass $M$ of oxygen gas molecule at the temperature of $300\, K$ will be
  • A
    $v _{ rms }=\sqrt{\frac{2}{3}} v _{ p }$
  • $v _{ rms }=\sqrt{\frac{3}{2}} v _{ p }$
  • C
    $v _{ rms }= v _{ p }$
  • D
    $v _{ rms }=\sqrt{\frac{1}{3}} v _{ p }$

Answer

Correct option: B.
$v _{ rms }=\sqrt{\frac{3}{2}} v _{ p }$
b
$v _{ rms }=\sqrt{\frac{3 RT }{ M }} \text { and } v _{ mp }=\sqrt{\frac{2 RT }{ M }}$

Thus $v _{ rms }=\sqrt{\frac{3}{2}} v _{ mp }$

A circular table is rotating with an angular velocity of $\omega \mathrm{rad} / \mathrm{s}$ about its axis (see figure). There is a smooth groove along a radial direction on the table. A steel ball is gently placed at a distance of $1 \mathrm{~m}$ on the groove. All the surface are smooth. If the radius of the table is $3 \mathrm{~m}$, the radial velocity of the ball w.r.t. the table at the time ball leaves the table is $x \sqrt{2} \omega \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}$, where the value of $x$ is............

Consider a Vernier callipers in which each $1 \ cm$ on the main scale is divided into $8$ equal divisions and a screw gauge with $100$ divisions on its circular scale. In the Vernier callipers, $5$ divisions of the Vernier scale coincide with $4$ divisions on the main scale and in the screw gauge, one complete rotation of the circular scale moves it by two divisions on the linear scale. Then:

$(A)$ If the pitch of the screw gauge is twice the least count of the Vernier callipers, the least count of the screw gauge is $0.01 \ mm$.

$(B)$ If the pitch of the screw gauge is twice the least count of the Vernier callipers, the least count of the screw gauge is $0.005 \ mm$.

$(C)$ If the least count of the linear scale of the screw gauge is twice the least count of the Vernier callipers, the least count of the screw gauge is $0.01 \ mm$.

$(D)$ If the least count of the linear scale of the screw gauge is twice the least count of the Vernier callipers, the least count of the screw gauge is $0.005 \ mm$.
