Physics Questions

In dealing with a coil spring the spring constant will depend on the stiffness of the spring material, the thicknessof the wire from which the spring is wound and, diameterof the turns of the coil, the number of turns per unit length and the overall length of the spring.

Long sightedness is a common vision condition in which nearby objects are blurry.

In this situation, the person with this condition of the eye where the curvature of the cornea is flat or the axial length of the eyeball is short. When light enters the eye, it does not focus directly on the retina, but focuses beyond the retina. This causes near images to appear out of focus and blurred.

Long sightedness is also called hyperopia, and sometimes presbyopia.

The land breeze is a coastal breeze at night blowing from the land to the ocean. It is caused by the difference in the rates of cooling of the land and of the ocean. Once again, the bigger the difference in temperature between the two, the stronger the wind.

Electrostatic precipitator is used to control Air pollution. An electrostatic precipitator is a filtration device that removes fine particles, like dust and smoke, from a flowing gas using the force of an induced electrostatic charge minimally impeding the flow of gases through the unit.

without this centripetal force, circular motion is not possible. It acts radially towards the centre and if this force is removed there will be no circular motion but the revolving body will fly off at a tangent.

C1= capacitance of gold plates

C2=   capacitance   of   aluminium plates

rg= Gold’s resistivity

ra= Aluminium’s resistivity

As the capacitance depends on the shape,  size  &  geometrical  placing of  the  conductors  &  the  medium between them, hence, the value of capacitance  will  be  independent  of resistivity. Therefore, C1= C2

The temperature at which water boils depends mainly on air pressure.

The capacity of a water heater is measured in Gallons or Liters. In the USA, it is measured in Gallons and in India, we measure it in Liters.

Hence, if the capacity of the water heater is 15 gallons or 15 liters, then it says that it can hold 15 gallons or 15 liters of water.
