Q:

A ball is thrown vertically upward from the ground. It crosses a point at the height of 25 m twice at an interval of 4 seconds. The ball was thrown with the velocity of

A) 18 m/s B) 25 m/s
C) 30 m/s D) 36 m/s
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 30 m/s

Explanation:

The interval between object pass the same point is 4 sec.

That means in 2 sec, object reaches the top and in next 2 sec, it again reaches the same point.

By the info given, we can find the velocity of that point by using : v=u+(-gt)

0= u - 10×2

u = 20

Then the velocity at 25m is 20m/sec.

so the initial velocity is


-v2 = u2 + (-2gh)400 = u2 - 2x 10 x 25u2 = 900 => u = 30 m/s

Q:

Velocitation is the tendency to

A) be traveling at a speed that is faster than perceived B) be traveling at a speed that is slower than perceived
C) Both A & B D) None of the above
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) be traveling at a speed that is faster than perceived

Explanation:

Velocitation is a phenomenon caused by driving for long periods at high speeds. A driver may experience velocitation when coming off of the highway; the change in speed makes him or her think that the car is going much slower than it actually is.

 

Velocitation is the tendency to be traveling at a speed that is faster than perceived.

Q:

When one enters a dark room after being in bright light one is not able to see anything clearly for a while because

A) the retina of the eye moves forward B) the retina of the eye moves backward
C) the iris is unable to dilate the pupil immediately to be able to see things D) the eye has no power of accommodation
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) the iris is unable to dilate the pupil immediately to be able to see things

Explanation:

The size of the pupil of the eye automatically adjusts itself  according to the intensity of light passing through it;if the intensity is more , the size is less, if less, it is more. So in our case the pupil should dilate i.e, increase in size to be able to see in the dark . This switchover takes sometime. But here the entry into the dark room is immediate . So the eye has no time to adjust itself and hence is not able to see at all for a while.
