Question
Write two differences between charge and mass.
✓
Answer
(1) Charge can be zero, positive or negative but mass is always positive.
(ii) Electric charge does not depend on the velocity of motion of the particle whereas mass also depends on the velocity of motion of the particle.

Three sources of sound S1, S2 and S3 of equal intensity are placed in a straight line with S1S2 = S2S3 figure. At a point P, far away from the sources, the wave coming from S is 120° ahead in phase of that from S1. Also, the wave coming from S3 is 120° ahead of that from S2. What would be the resultant intensity of sound at P?
A barometer is constructed with its tube having radius 1.0mm. Assume that the surface of mercury in the tube is spherical in shape. If the atmospheric pressure is equal to 76cm of mercury, what will be the height raised in the barometer tube.
