Hints and Solutions

Physics

(1) Answer : (1)

Solution:
M1L1 + M1 × s(ΔT)1 = M2s(ΔT)2
M1 × 540 + M1 × 20 = 20 × 1 × 70
20×70
M1 =
560

1400
=
560

= 2.5
Total mass of water
= M1 + M2 = 2.5 + 20 = 22.5 g

(2) Answer : (3)

Solution:
As per Wein’s displacement law :
λT = constant
Thus as T increases, λ decreases.

(3) Answer : (1)

Hint:
Heat lost = Heat gained
Solution:
S(water) = 2S(ice)

Heat required to bring ice to 0°C = 20 × (20) × Sice

= 400 S(ice)
Heat released to bringing water to 0°C
= 20 × 10 × 2 Sice
= 400 × S(ice)
∴ Amount of water = 20 g (at 0°C)

(4) Answer : (2)

Hint:
T −T0
ln ( ) = −bt
T1 − T0

Solution:
T – T0 = θ
T1 – T0 = θ0
θ
ln ( ) = −bt
θ0

θ −b t
( ) = e
θ0

θ = θ0 e–bt

(5) Answer : (4)

Solution:
T1 − T0
As, ln (
T2 − T0
) = Kt

∴ ln (
100−T0

80−T0
) = 10 K ... (I)
80−T0
Similarly, ln (
70−T0
) = 10 K ... (II)
From (I) and (II)
We get T0 = 60°C

(7) Answer : (2)

Hint:
Thermal stress = Y α Δθ
Solution:
Since thermal stress is equal (given)
Y1α1 Δθ = Y2α2 Δθ
Y1 α2
=
Y2 α1

(8) Answer : (2)

Hint:

Solution:
PV = μRT

Solution:
Equivalent circuit will be as (R : thermal resistance of each rod)

Temperature difference between A and B is 240°C which is equally divided in all resistances.
Hence
TA − TC = 80°

TC = TA − 80 = 300 − 80°

= 220°C

AIATS Practice Test For AIATS 04

For ice, Q1 = 20 × 0.5 × 20 + 20 × 80 + 20 × 1 × (T – 0°)

⇒ Q1 = 200 + 1600 + 20T
⇒ Q1 = 1800 + 20T
For water, Q2 = 40 × 1 × (50 – T)
By the principle of calorimetry, Q1 = Q2
⇒ 1800 + 20T = 2000 – 40T
⇒ 60T = 200

∴ T =

= 3.3 ºC

(23) Answer : (3)

Solution:
Heat loss = Heat gain
m1S1ΔT1 = m2S2ΔT2 + M1Lf
Heat required to melt whole ice is more than the heat lost by water, hence final temperature will be 0°C.

(24) Answer : (1)

Solution:
Heat released by water = 16 × 1 × (50 – 0) = 800 cal
Ice melted = m × 80 = 800
m = 10 gm

(103)Answer : (4)
Solution:
During chemiosmosis, the proton gradient is broken down due to the movement of protons across the membrane to the
stroma through the transmembrane channel of the CF0 of the ATP synthase. The breakdown of the gradient provides
enough energy to cause a conformational change in the CF1 particle of the ATP synthase, which makes the enzyme
synthesise several molecules of energy packed ATP.
