Q:

# A stone floor feels cold to the bare feet but a carpet on the same floor feels warm. This is because

 A) the floor and carpet are at different temperatures B) the stone conveys the heat away from the feet more rapidly than the carpet C) the carpet is a better conductor of heat than the stone D) the human body maintains a constant temperature

Answer:   B) the stone conveys the heat away from the feet more rapidly than the carpet

Explanation:

Both the floor and the carpet have the same temperature as both are exposed to the same atmosphere. But the former conducts away the heat from the feet better than the carpet as the latter is a non-conductor. So the feet losing more heat, the floor appears cooler to the feet.

Q:

A disk and a sphere of same radius but different masses roll on two inclined planes of the same altitude and length. Which one of the two objects gets to the bottom of the plane first ?

 A) Depends on their masses B) Sphere C) Disk D) Both reach at the same time

Explanation:

Time does not depend on mass, else

$\inline \fn_jvn T \prec \sqrt{\left ( 1 +\frac{k^{2}}{R^{2}} \right )}$

$\inline \fn_jvn \frac{k^{2}}{R^{2}}$  => is least for 'sphere' and

hence least time is taken by sphere.
