Physics Questions

A Mixture is a material made up of two or more different substances which are mixed.

Mixtures can be either homogeneous or heterogeneous.

* A homogeneous mixture is a type of mixture in which the composition is uniform and every part of the solution has the same properties.

* A heterogeneous mixture is a type of mixture in which the components can be seen, as there are two or more phases present.

Air is a homogeneous mixture of the gaseous substances nitrogen, oxygen, and smaller amounts of other substances.

Before transferring the fish, the position is the man with the fish and the bucket of water. After transferring the position is: the man without the fish, but the fish inside the water in the bucket. Thus to know  whether there is any change in weight, it is enough to consider whether there is any change in weight when the fish in air is transferred into the water. The answer is there is no change as when in water though it loses weight due to upthrust of water on it, the level of water increases and exerts an equal force at the bottom.So, (c) is correct.

1 atm: It was originally defined as the pressure exerted by 760 mm of mercury at 0 °C and standard gravity (g = 9.80665 m/s2).

The usual cause of sea breeze is the difference in specific heat capacity between land and water Land heats and cools more quickly than water.

What is the cause of a sea breeze?

The air over the land is warmed and rises, to a greater temperature than that over the sea. This produces a convection current, with cooler air flowing in from over the sea to replace that rising from the land. At night the land cools more than the sea, so the action reverses to produce a land-breeze, blowing off the land.
