Solution
The radioisotope \( ^{235}_{92}U \) decays by emitting two alpha particles, three beta particles and a gamma ray. What is the mass and atomic number of the resulting element?
A
215 and 88
B
91 and 227
C
227 and 91
D
92 and 238
E
No correct option
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option C
Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
- Alpha radiation consists of helium- He\(^{4}_{2}\)
2 Alpha decay --> 2 X He\(^{4}_{2}\) = Element\(^{8}_{4}\)
- Beta particles are high energy electrons- e\(^{0}_{-1}\)
3 Beta particles --> 3 X e\(^{0}_{-1}\) = Element\(^{0}_{-3}\)
- Gamma rays are waves of electromagnetic energy, or photons.
the mass and atomic number of the resulting element = U\(^{235}_{92}\) - Elements( \(^{8}_{4}\) + \(^{0}_{-3}\) )
--> Element\(^{227}_{91}\)

Solution
If a container is filled with ice to the brim, what happens to the level of water when the ice completely melts?
A
the level of water goes up
B
the water in the glass outflows
C
the level of water remains unchanged
D
the level of water drops
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option D
Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
The container is filled 'only with ice' to the brim (no liquid water mentioned).
Ice is less dense than water (it expands when freezing).
When the ice melts, the same mass turns into water that occupies less volume.
Result: The water level drops below the brim.

Solution
THe velocity of sound in air at 16oC is 340ms-1. What will it be when the pressure is doubled and its temperature raised to 127ºC?
A
400 ms-1
B
4,000 ms-1
C
8,000 ms-1
D
160,000 ms-1
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option A
Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
The velocity of sound in air, V∝\(\sqrt{T}\), where T is the absolute temperature
Thus V = K\(\sqrt{T}\) or K = \(\frac{\text{V}}{\sqrt{T}}\)
V is independent of pressure and density at a fixed temperature.
∴ \(\frac{V_1}{\sqrt{T_1}}\) = \(\frac{V_2}{\sqrt{T_2}}\)
T\(_1\) = 16 + 273 = 289K, V\(_1\) = 340ms\(^{-1}\)
T\(_2\) = 127 + 273 = 400K, V\(_2\) = ?
\(\frac{340}{\sqrt{289}}\) = \(\frac{V_2}{\sqrt{400}}\)
∴ V\(_2\) = \(\frac{340 \sqrt{400}}{\sqrt{289}}\) = 400m/s

medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option C
Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
1/R = 1/8 + 1/8 = 2/8
∴ R = 4Ω
l/l1 = R/R1
(x)/(100-x) = 4/8
4(100-x) = 8x
400-4x = 8x
400 = 8x + 4x = 12x
x = 400/12 = 33.3cm
