Assertion:  Liquid molecules have greater potential energy at the melting point.

Reason:  Intermolecular spacing between molecules increases at melting point.

• If assertion is true but reason is false.

• If both assertion and reason are false.

Assertion: A needle placed carefully on the surface of water may float, whereas a ball of the same material will always sink.

Result: The buoyancy of an object depends both on the material and shape of the object.

In old age arteries carrying blood in the human body become narrow resulting in an increase in the blood pressure. This follows from

• Pascal's law

• Stoke's law

• Bernoulli's principle

• Archimede's principle

Which of the following physical quantities do not have same dimensions?

• pressure and stress

• tension and surface tension

• strain and angle

• energy and work

Work of 3.0 × 10^-4 joule is required to be done in increasing the size of a soap film from 10 cm ×  6 cm to 10 cm ×  11 cm. The surface tension of the film is

• 5 ×  10^-2 N/m

• 3 ×  10^-2 N/m

• 1.5 ×  10^-2 N/m

• 1.2 ×  10^-2 N/m

If the water falls from a dam into a turbine wheel 19.6 n below, then the velocity of water ar turbines  is ( Take g = 9.8 m/s )

• 9.8 m/s

• 19.6 m/s

• 39.2 m/s

• 98.6 m/s

Assertion: Machine parts are jammed in winter. 

Reason:  The viscosity of lubricant used in machine parts increase at low temperatures.

• If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion

• If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion

• If assertion is true but reason is false

• If both assertion and reason are false

Assertion: Use of ball bearings between two moving parts of a machine is a common practice. 

Reason:  Ball bearings reduce vibrations and provide good stability.

• If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of the assertion

• If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion

• If assertion is true, but reason is false

• Both assertion and reason are false statements

Assertion: A thin stainless steel needle can lay floating on a still water surface. 

Reason:  Any object floats when the buoyancy force balances the weight of the object.

• If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of the assertion

• If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion

• If assertion is true, but reason is false

• Both assertion and reason are false statements

A candle of diameter d is floating on a liquid in a cylindrical container of diameter D ( D >> d ) as shown in figure. If it is burning at the rate of 2 cm/hour then the top of the candle will

• remain at the same height

• fall at the rate of 1 cm/hour

• fall at the rate of 2 cm/hour

• go up at the rate of 1 cm/hour
