A bob of heavy mass \(m\) is suspended by a light string of length \(l\). The bob is given a horizontal velocity \(v_0\) as shown in figure. If the string gets slack at some point P making an angle \( \theta \) from the horizontal, the ratio of the speed \(v\) of the bob at point P to its initial speed \(v_0\) is :

- The plates of a parallel plate capacitor are separated by d. Two slabs of different dielectric constant \(K_1\) and \(K_2\) with thickness \(d/2\) and \(d/2\) respectively are inserted in the capacitor. Due to this, the capacitance becomes two times larger than when there is nothing between the plates. If \(K_1 = 1.25 K_2\), the value of \(K_2\) is :

Alkenes
Alkenes
In organic chemistry, an alkene is a hydrocarbon containing a carbon-carbon double bond.[1]
Alkene is often used as synonym of olefin, that is, any hydrocarbon containing one or more double bonds.

IUPAC Nomenclature of Alkenes
- An alkene or cycloalkene is indicated by the suffix (ending) ene.
- For the root name, the longest chain must include both carbon atoms of the double bond.
- The root chain must be numbered beginning at the end closest to a double bond carbon atom. If the double bond is in the chain's centre, the nearest substituent rule is used to determine where the numbering begins.
- If the compound contains more than one double bond, it is named with a diene, triene, or equivalent prefix indicating the number of double bonds, and each double bond is assigned a locator number.
