Questions
Choose the wrong statement.
- Viscous force always supports the motion.
- A denser fluid always more viscous than a less dense fluid.
- Any object cannot have a velocity after a sufficient long time more than its terminal velocity in a given fluid.
- If a body is at rest in a fluid then the viscous force on it is zero.
The velocity of falling rain drops attains limited value because of :
- surface tension
- upthrust due to air
- viscous force exerted by air
- air current
Clouds appear to float in air due to:
- low density.
- air current.
- viscosity of air.
- buoyancy.
The quality of fountain-pen ink depends largely on:
- Surface tension of the liquid
- Viscosity of ink
- impurities in ink
- Density of ink
Two identical lead shots are dropped at the same time in two glass jars containing water and glycerine. The lead shot dropped in glycerine descends slowly because:
- Viscous force is more in water than in glycerine
- Viscous force is more in glycerine than in water
- Surface tension is more in water
- Surface tension is more in glycerine
After the storm, the sea water waves subside due to:
- Surface tension of sea-water
- Disapperance of heavy currents
- The viscosity of sea water
- Gravitational pull of the storm
A good lubricant must have:
- high viscosity
- low viscosity
- high density
- low surface tension
When stirring of a liquid is stopped, the liquid comes to rest due to:
- surface tension
- gravity
- viscosity
- buoyancy
Coefficient of viscosity of a gas:
- increases with increase of temperature.
- decreases with increase of temperature.
- remains constant with increase of temperature.
- may increase or decrease with increase of temperature.
Viscosity of water at constant temperature is:
- more in deep water
- more in shallow waters
- less in deep water
- same in both deep water and shallow waters
Hot syrup flows faster because:
- Surface tension increases when temperature is increased.
- Viscosity decreases when temperature is increased.
- Viscosity increases when temperature is increased.
- Surface tension decreases when temperature is increased.
Assertion : Water flows faster than honey.
Reason: The coefficient of viscosity of water is less than honey.
- Both assertion and reason are true and reason is correct explanation of assertion.
- Both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.
- Assertion is true but reason is false.
- Both assertion and reason are false.
With increase in temperature, the viscosity of:
- gases decreases and liquid increases
- gases increases and liquid decreases
- both gases and liquid increases
- both gases and liquid decreases
A spaceship entering the earth's atmosphere is likely to catch fire. This is due to:
- The surface tension of air
- Air Friction
- The high temperature of upper atmosphere
- The greater portion of oxygen in the atmosphere at greater height.
When an object is dropped into a fluid, the extent of splash, due to buoyant force of fluid, depends on:
- sliding friction
- rolling friction
- fluid friction
- static friction
If a toy boat in a tan sinks, the level of water will.
- Fluctuate
- Decrease
- Increase
- Remain the same
Vehicles are streamlined to reduce
- Static friction
- Kinetic friction
- Fluid friction
- Slidingfriction
A good lubricant should be highly
- viscous and velocity
- non-viscous volatile
- viscous and non-volatile
- transparent
Two spheres $A$ and $B$ fall through the same viscous fluid. $A$ and $B$ have the same density and $B$ has the larger radius.
Then,
- A has the larger terminal velocity
- A and B have the same terminal velocity
- B has the larger terminal velocity
- Insufficient information is given to reach a conclusion.
Ball pen and fountain pen depends respectively on principle of:-
- Surface tension and viscosity
- Surface tension and gravity
- Gravitation and Surface tension
- Surface tension and Surface tension
More viscous oil is used in summer than in winter in motors due to
- rise in temperature in summer, the viscosity of oil increases.
- rise in temperature in summer, the viscosity of oil decreases.
- surface tension of oil decreases.
- surface tension of oil increases.
With the increasing molecular mass of a liquid, the viscosity .
- decreases
- increases
- no effect
- all wrong
When cooking oil is heated in a frying pan, the oil moves around in the pan more easily when it is hot. The main reason for this is that with rise in temperature, there is a decrease in
- density
- surface tension
- viscosity
- angle of contact
