Multiple choice physics world of sounds sound produced by humans propagation of sound production and propagation of sound

When we hear a sound, we can identify it source from

  1. The frequency of the sound

  2. The amplitude of the sound

  3. The wavelength of the sound

  4. The overtones present in the sound
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

Frequency of the sound is the characteristic of sound waves that helps us to distinguish between two different sounds. For example, sound produced by man generally have low frequency (i.e. low pitch) whereas that produced by woman have higher frequency (i.e. sharp tone). Thus we can distinguish between two sounds by hearing the frequency (pitch).

Multiple choice physics kinematics motion around us motion and rest moving things around us

When a body is at rest, it is obeying :

  1. Principle of conservation of energy

  2. Newton's first law

  3. Ohm's law

  4. Newton's second law
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

Newton's first law states that; "An object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force".Thus, body continues in it's state of rest as there is no external force on it,

So, option B is correct.

Multiple choice physics kinematics motion around us motion and rest moving things around us

If a body does not change its position with respect to its surroundings, the body is said to be at rest.

  1. True

  2. False
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

The body when considered in frame of reference of surroundings, then zero relative velocity means it is at rest. So. statement is true.

Multiple choice physics kinematics motion around us motion and rest moving things around us

In which of the following cases , the net force is zero?
I) A ball freely falling from a certain height
II) A cork floating on the surface of water
III) An object floating in air

  1. I and II only

  2. II and III only

  3. III and I only

  4. I, II and III
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

A freely falling object has a net force equal to its weight (gravity), so it is not zero. A cork floating on water and an object floating in air (like a balloon) are in equilibrium where the upward buoyant force equals the downward gravitational force, resulting in a net force of zero.

Multiple choice physics kinematics motion around us motion and rest moving things around us

In the state of equilibrium
I) Net force is zero
II) Body at rest will continue to be in its state of rest
III) Body moving with uniform velocity will continue to be in its state of uniform velocity
IV) Body with linear momentum $\vec{p}$ will continue to have the same momentum $\vec{p}$.

  1. all are correct

  2. I, II, III are correct

  3. II, III, IV are correct

  4. None of these
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

In a state of equilibrium, the net force is zero, which implies no acceleration. By Newton's first law, an object at rest stays at rest, and an object in uniform motion continues at that velocity (constant momentum), making all statements correct.

Multiple choice physics kinematics motion around us motion and rest moving things around us

At the starts of a motion along a line the initial velocity is u and acceleration is at. The final velocity v is 

  1. v=u+at

  2. v=u+$at^{2}$

  3. $v=u+\frac{1}{2}at^{2}$

  4. v=$at^{2}$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

Let us assume a body that has a mass “m” and initial velocity “u”. Let after time “t” its final velocity becomes “v” due to uniform acceleration “a”. Now we know that:

Acceleration = Change in velocity/Time Taken

Therefore,  Acceleration = (Final Velocity-Initial Velocity) / Time Taken

Hence, a = v-u /t or at = v-u

Therefore, we have: v = u + at

Symmetry of the laws of nature with respect to translation in time give rise to

  1. Conservation of linear momentum

  2. Conservation of angular momentum

  3. Conservation of cahrge

  4. Conservation of energy
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

Time translation symmetry gives rise to the conservation of energy.

Space translation symmetry gives rise to conservation of momentum.

Rotational symmetry gives rise to conservation of angular momentum.

The conservation law associated with this symmetry is the conservation of electrical charge.

White colour of the cloud is due to ___________________.

  1. reflection of seven colors of light

  2. refraction of seven colors of light

  3. scattering of seven colors of light

  4. absorption of seven colors of light
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

Large dust particles and water droplets scatter all wavelength almost equally. Hence clouds appears white.
