A small stone of mass m = 200 g is held under water in a tall jar and is allowed to fall as shown in the figure. The free body diagram of the stone is also shown:

 

i) What do F2 and m1 represent?

ii) Calculate the net force acting on the stone and

iii) its acceleration as it falls through water. (Neglect the force due to viscosity. Take the volume of the stone as 80 cm3, density of water as 1.0 g/cm3 and acceleration due to gravity, g = 10 m/s2

A thermos flask of negligible heat capacity contains 100 g of ice and 30 g of water.

i) Calculate:

1. the mass of steam of 1000 C needed to condense in the flask so as to just melt the ice.

2. the amount of water in the flask after condensation.

(Specific latent heat of vaporisation of the steam = 2260 J/g

Specific latent heat of fusion of ice = 336 J/ g

Specific heat capacity of water = 4.2 J.g0C)

ii) Is it possible to condense the water formed, back to ice by adding ice at 0C? Explain giving a suitable reason to justify your answer.

An electric bulb rated 220 V, 60 W is working at full efficiency.

i) State the resistance of the coil of the bulb.

ii) Another identical bulb is connected in series with the first one and the system is connected across the mains as shown alongside:

  1. State the rate of conversion of energy in each bulb.
  2. Calculate the total power.
What will be the total power if the bulbs are connected in parallel? 


Power, P = 60 W

Potential, V = 220 V

i ) Resistance, R = V squared over P equals space 220 squared over 60 italic equals italic 806 italic. italic 7 italic space o h m italic space

ii) 

1. When they are connected in series then total resistance of the two is,

 RS = R1 + R2 = 806.7 + 806.7 = 1613.4 ohm

 Therefore, 

Error converting from MathML to accessible text.

Power of each bulb, P = I2R = (0.136)2x 806.7 = 14.92 W 

2. Total power, PS = fraction numerator straight P subscript 1 straight P subscript 2 over denominator straight P subscript 1 space plus space straight P subscript 2 end fraction space equals space fraction numerator 60 space cross times 60 over denominator 60 space plus 60 end fraction space equals space 3600 over 120 space equals space 30 space W

3. When the bulbs are connected in parallel, 

Total power, PP = P1 + P2 = 60 + 60 = 120 W
