A body of mass m = 10^–2 kg is moving in a medium and experiences a frictional force F = –kv². Its initial speed is v₀ = 10 ms^–1. If, after 10 s, its energy is $${1 \over 8}mv_0^2$$, the value of k will be:

A copper ball of mass 100 gm is at a temperature T. It is dropped in a copper calorimeter of mass 100 gm, filled with 170 gm of water at room temperature. Subsequently, the temperature of the system is found to be 75^oC. T is given by: (Given : room temperature = 30^oC, specific heat of copper = 0.1 cal/gm^oC)

The variation of acceleration due to gravity $$g$$ with distance d from centre of the earth is best represented by (R = Earth’s radius):

The temperature of an open room of volume 30 m³ increases from 17^oC to 27^oC due to the sunshine. The atmospheric pressure in the room remains 1 $$ \times $$ 10⁵ Pa. If N_i and N_f are the number of molecules in the room before and after heating, then N_f – N_i will be :
