Q:

# The base of an electric iron is brightly polished mainly

 A) to make it smooth and frictionless B) to make it rust-proof C) to reduce heat loss by radiation D) to make it more durable

Answer:   C) to reduce heat loss by radiation

Explanation:

Polished surfaces are poor radiators of heat. So loss of heat on that account is reduced and the electric iron remains hotter than otherwise.

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

Answer & Explanation Answer: B) Sphere

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.
