Physics Questions

The working principle of a washing machine is centrifugation.

Centrifugation is a separation process which uses the action of centrifugal force to promote accelerated settling of particles in a solid-liquid mixture.

The washing machine consists of centrifuge for this purpose. A centrifuge is a piece of equipment that puts an object in rotation around a fixed axis, applying a force perpendicular to the axis of spin that can be very strong.

Nuclear sizes are expressed in a unit called "Fermi" which is a unit of length equal to 10⁻¹⁵ metre (one femtometre), used in nuclear physics. It is similar to the diameter of a proton.

A vector quantity is a quantity which has both magnitude and direction. Here in the given options, speed is a scalar quantity but not the vector quantity.

Resistances of both the bulbs are

R1=V^2/P1 = 220^2/25

R2 = V^2/P2 = 220^2/100

Hence  R1gt ; R2

When connected in series, the voltages divide in them in the ratio of their resistances. The voltage of 440 V devides in such a way that voltage across 25 w bulb will be more than 220 V. Hence 25 w bulb will fuse.
