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?
Define heat capacity and state its SI unit.
Heat capacity is defined as the total amount of heat required to raise the temperature of a body by 10 C. It is represented by S.
Its SI unit is JK-1.
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?
