A brass ball is hanging from a stiff cotton thread. Draw a neat labelled diagram showing the forces acting on the brass ball and cotton thread.
The distance between two bodies is doubled. How is the magnitude of the gravitational force between them affected?
Why is the base of a cooking pan generally made thick?
The base is made up of metal, which is a good conductor of heat. By making the base of a cooking pan thick, its thermal capacity becomes large and it imparts sufficient heat energy at a low temperature to the food for proper cooking.
A solid of mass 50 g at 150°C is placed in 100 g of water at 11°C, when the final temperature recorded is 20°C. Find the specific heat capacity of the solid. (specific heat capacity of water = 4.2 J/g°C)
How is the refractive index of a material related to:
(i) real and apparent depth?
(ii) velocity of light in vacuum or air and the velocity of light in a given medium?
