Fluid Mechanics

Physics

SI unit of the coefficient of viscosity is__________?

A
Kg.m.S-1
B
Kg m-1.S-1
C
Kg.m.S
D
Kg-1.m-1.S-1
Explanation and memory cue

The coefficient of viscosity (dynamic viscosity) in SI units is expressed as Pascal-second (Pa·s), which is equivalent to kg·m⁻¹·s⁻¹. Option B correctly represents this unit.

Dimensional Analysis

easy
Physics

Which equation is not dimensionally correct?

A
E=mc^2
B
Vf=Vi+at
C
S=Vt^2
D
S=1/2 at^2
Explanation and memory cue

Option C, S = Vt2, is dimensionally incorrect because displacement (S) has dimensions of length [L], velocity (V) has dimensions [L T^-1], and time squared (t^2) has dimensions [T^2]. Multiplying velocity by time squared gives dimensions [L T^-1][T^2] = [L T], which is not length. The correct kinematic equation is S = Vt or S = 1/2 at^2, both dimensionally consistent.

Radioactivity

easy
Physics

The unit of radioactivity, curie, is equal to__________?

A
3.7 x 10^10 disintegrations per second
B
3.70 x 10^10 disintegrations per second
C
3.55 x 10^10 disintegrations per second
D
3.60 x 10^10 disintegrations per second
Explanation and memory cue

The curie (Ci) is defined as 3.7 × 10^10 disintegrations per second, which is the standard unit of radioactivity. Option A is the closest and correctly formatted value (3.74 × 10^9 is a typo and should be 3.7 × 10^10). The other options have incorrect values or exponents.

Nuclear Reactions

easy
Physics

If one or more of the neutrons emitted during fission can be used to build up further fission, then the reaction is self-sustained and is known as__________?

A
Fission reaction
B
Fusion reaction
C
Chain reaction
D
Chemical reaction
Explanation and memory cue

A self-sustained nuclear reaction where neutrons from one fission event cause further fission events is called a chain reaction. This is fundamental to how nuclear reactors and atomic bombs operate.

Vector Operations

easy
Physics

An angle between two vectors A and B can be determined by__________?

A
Their dot product
B
Their cross product
C
Head to tail rule
D
Right-hand rule
Explanation and memory cue

The angle between two vectors A and B can be determined using their dot product formula: A · B = |A||B|cosθ, where θ is the angle between the vectors. This relationship allows calculation of the angle by rearranging to θ = cos⁻¹((A · B)/(|A||B|)).

Nuclear Fission

medium
Physics

The energy liberated when one atom of U-235 undergoes a fission reaction is __________?

A
200MeV
B
40MeV
C
30MeV
D
20MeV
Explanation and memory cue

When one atom of U-235 undergoes fission, approximately 200 MeV of energy is released due to the splitting of the nucleus into smaller fragments and the release of neutrons and gamma radiation.

Radioactivity

easy
Physics

Radioactive materials can be identified by measuring their __________?

A
Hardness
B
Density
C
Mass
D
Half life
Explanation and memory cue

Radioactive materials are identified by measuring their half-life, which is the time it takes for half of the radioactive atoms to decay. This property is unique to each radioactive isotope and helps in their identification.

Physics

CFC is used in __________?

A
Refrigeration
B
Aerosol spray
C
Plastic foam industry
D
All of the above
Explanation and memory cue

Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) have been widely used in refrigeration, aerosol sprays, and the plastic foam industry due to their stability and non-flammability. Therefore, all the options listed are correct uses of CFCs.

Radioactivity

easy
Physics

Strontium-90 is used as a __________?

A
α-particle source
B
β-particle source
C
γ-rays source
D
Neutron source
Explanation and memory cue

Strontium-90 is a radioactive isotope that primarily emits beta (β) particles during its decay process, making it a beta-particle source rather than an alpha, gamma, or neutron source.

Physics

One pico stands for__________?

A
10 raised to power -15
B
10 raised to power -12
C
10 raised to power -9
D
10 raised to power -6
Explanation and memory cue

The prefix 'pico' denotes a factor of 10 to the power of -12, which means one pico equals 10^-12 of the unit.
