The student was provided with a thermometer, a stopwatch and a beaker.

Stopwatch can be used to note the TIME
Thermometer can be used to get a reading of the TEMPERATURE
While the beaker is good for nothing :p

A consists of "Mass" and "Volume
B consists of "Mass" and "Temperature"
C consists of "Volume" and "Time"
D consists of "Temperature" and "Time" and so is the right answer :) (as we can only measure the TIME and TEMPERATURE accurately)
this was not the question I asked

Sorry my bad :p

The labels fell off two bottles each containing a colorless solution, one of which was sodium
carbonate solution and the other was sodium chloride solution.
The addition of which solution to a sample from each bottle would most readily enable the bottles
to be correctly relabelled?
A ammonia
B hydrochloric acid
C lead(II) nitrate
D sodium hydroxide

A: Ammonia (as per the syllabus) will not react with either one and so is out of the question.
B: HCl will immediately react with Na2CO3 releasing CO2 and while it won't react with NaCl (therefore, is the right answer)
C: It can also distinguish between the 2 compounds by producing a white precipitate with the NaCl but is not as fast and readily available in comparison with HCl
D: I can't differentiate between them as both contain the same cation "Na"

-whats a diode?
-at high voltage, whats more safer? AC current or DC current?
-are transmission line thinner with lower current?

diode allows current to flow in only one direction.
at high voltage, both AC and DC are dangerous
yes, transmission lines can be made thinner with lower current
(C) 60 degrees. this is because we know that the current is same in series circuit. and if voltage in V is 2V, voltage across 3000 ohm will be 4V. we can calculate current by V/R = 4/3000 = 0.00133. then we will divide 2V by 0.00133 to get 1500 ohm. match the value of 1500 from graph to 60 degrees

in dry cell battery energy is converted from chemical ----->electrical ????
in light emission diode energy is converted from light ----> electrical ????
in microphone from sound -----> electrical ????
and what's conversion of energy in photo-emissive cell . please confirm above to me !
@battery.. yes
@LED... its electrical -----> light (led stands for light EMITTING diode)
@microphone... yes..

BIOLOGY!

Please tell me the exact way of how to find magnification?
(The exact way means how we have to write in exams)

Take Actual length=6mm
And Drawing length=12mm

Take Actual length=6mm
And Drawing length=12mm

write --> Image (drawn) length/actual length = 12/6 = x2
dont forget to write the times symbol (x) before magnification.
if the actual image is already magnified, eg. x500, then you will have to do like this -->(12/6) * 500 = x1000

both are dangerous at high voltage but i think at high voltage AC is safer...:D

WHAT IS INTERNAL ENERGY ?? IM VERY CONFUSED WHEN IM READING THE MARKING SCHEMES OF THE QUESTIONS IN WHICH WE HAVE TO DESCRIBE THE TOTAL ENERGY CONVERSION, MOST OF THE TIME THE ENERGIES END UP AS INTERNAL ENERGY .. PLEASE EXPLAIN HOW AND WHEN DOES THIS HAPPEN ... GIVE AN EXAMPLE IF YOU CAN .. THANKS

Kinetic Energy + Potential Energy = Internal Energy

Example :
When a Solids heated . The Particles gain kinetic energy and move more vigorously . Therefore their kinetic energy increases . The constant collision with neighboring particles increases the separation between them (potential energy increases ). As both Kinetic and Potential increase their sum (internal energy) also increases.

So when the Marking scheme says internal energy it refers to either kinetic or potential energy .

Hope this helped

YEAH IT HELPED A LOT THANKS ... :)

SO IF A CAR GOES UP FROM REST A HILL AND DOWN AND STOPS, WHAT WILL BE THE TOTAL ENERGY CHANGE ?

kinetic ----> potential ----> kinetic----> heat and sound

in short : internal energy ----> heat and sound
