Figure below shows two paths that may be taken by a gas to go from a state $A$ to a state $C.$ In process $AB,$ $400 \,J$ of heat is added to the system and in process $BC,$ $100\, J$ of heat is added to the system. The heat absorbed by the system in the process $AC$ will be ...... $J$
A girl standing at point $P$ on a beach wishes to reach a point $Q$ in the sea as quickly as possible. She can run at $6 \,kmh ^{-1}$ on the beach and swim at $4 \,kmh ^{-1}$ in the sea. She should take the path
Different points in earth are at slightly different distances from the sun and hence experience different forces due to gravitation. For a rigid body, we know that if various forces act at various points in it, the resultant motion is as if a net force acts on the c.m. (centre of mass) causing translation and a net torque at the c.m. causing rotation around an axis through the c.m. For the earthsun system (approximating the earth as a uniform density sphere).

At a given point of time the value of displacement of a simple harmonic oscillator is given as $y = A \cos \left(30^{\circ}\right)$. If amplitude is $40\,cm$ and kinetic energy at that time is $200\, J$, the value of force constant is $1.0 \times 10^{ x }\,Nm ^{-1}$. The value of $x$ is ......
