Raindrops falling down attain limited value of velocity because of

A voltmeter can read up to $V$ volt. When the series resistance used in the voltmeter is doubled, range of voltmeter is

A train is moving slowly on a straight track with a constant speed of $2\, ms^{-1}$ passenger in that train starts walking at a steady speed of $2\, ms^{-1}$ to the back of the train in the opposite direction of the motion of the train. So to an observer standing on the platform directly in front of that passenger, the velocity of the passenger appears to be

A lead bullet of unknown mass is fired with a speed of 180 ms-1 into a tree in which it stops. Assuming that in this process two-third of heat produced goes into the bullet and one- third into wood. The temperature of the bullet rises by (Specific heat of lead $ =\text{ }0.120\text{ }J{{g}^{-1}}{{C}^{-1}} $ )

In sine wave, minimum distance between $ 2 $ particles always having same speed is

A block of mass $m$ is in contact with the cart $C$ as shown in the figure. The coefficient of static friction between the block and the cart is $\mu$. The acceleration $\alpha$ of the cart that will prevent the block from falling satisfies

A particle moves in $x-y$ plane according to rule $x = a\,\sin\omega t$ and $y = a \,\cos\omega t$. The particle follows

A vibration magnetometer placed in magnetic meridian has a small bar magnet. The magnet executes oscillations with a time period of $2$ sec in earth's horizontal magnetic field of $24$ microtesla. When a horizontal field of $18$ microtesla is produced opposite to the earth's field by placing a current carrying wire, the new time period of magnet will be

A common emitter amplifier has a voltage gain of $50$ , an input impedance of $100 \Omega$ and an output impedance of $200 \Omega$ The power gain of the amplifier is

A tuning fork of frequency $512\, Hz$ makes $4$ beats per second with the vibrating string of a piano. The beat frequency decreases to $2$ beats per sec when the tension in the piano string is slightly increased. The frequency of the piano string before increasing the tension was

A cylindrical metallic rod in thermal contact with two reservoirs of heat at its two ends conducts an amount of heat $Q$ in time $t$. The metallic rod is melted and the material is formed into a rod of half the radius of the original rod. What is the amount of heat conducted by the new rod when placed in thermal contact with the two reservoirs in time $t$ ?
