When a man moves toward a plane mirror at a speed of 6m/s, the distance the man and his image increased at a speed of?
A
2 m/s
B
4 m/s
C
12 m/s
D
14 m/s
correct option: c
d = y, s = 6 m/s (The Man & Plane Mirror)

d – δy, s = (5 – ;6) m/s (The Man and Image)

d2 ÷ s1 = d2 ÷ s2, y ÷ 6 = 2y ÷ s + 6

Y (s + 6) = 2y × 6

s + 6 = 12

So = 12 – 6 = 6

Since S + 6 = 0

Then, S = 6 (substitute the value of S i.e S = 6)

Into S + 6 = 0

∴So = S + 6 = 6 + 6 = 12 m/s

∴ S = 12 m/s

If the volume of a gas is recoded as 76cm3 at a temperature of 27°C with a pressure of 800mmHg. What will be the volume of the gas at S.T.P?
A
36.2cm3
B
25.7cm3
C
72.8cm3
D
24.3cm3
correct option: c
General formular of Gas laws

(P1V1) ÷ T1= (P2V2) ÷ T2

P1 = 800mmHg, V, = 76cm3, Tr = 273 + 27 = 300k

P2 = 760mmHg, V2 = ? T2= 273 + 0 = 273 + 6 = 277k

(800 × 76) ÷ 300 = (760 × V2) ÷ 273

V2 = (300 × 76 × 273) ÷ (300 × 760) = 72.8 cm3

The volume of gas as S.T.P = 72.8 cm3
