A bimetallic strip is made of aluminium and steel $\left({\mathrm{\alpha }}_{\mathrm{Al}}>{\mathrm{\alpha }}_{\mathrm{steel}}\right)$. On heating, the strip will

1. remain straight

2. get twisted

3. will bend with aluminium on the concave side

4. will bend with steel on the concave side

A uniform metallic rod rotates about its perpendicular bisector with the constant angular speed. If it is heated uniformly to raise its temperature slightly,

1. its speed of rotation increases

2. its speed of rotation decreases

3. its speed of rotation remains the same

4. its speed increases because its moment of inertia increases

The graph between two temperature scales A and B is shown in the figure. Between upper fixed and lower fixed points, there are 150 equal divisions on scale A and 100 on scale B. The relationship for conversion between the two scales is given by 

1. $\frac{t_A-180}{100}=\frac{t_B}{150}$

2. $\frac{t_A-30}{150}=\frac{t_B}{100}$

3. $\frac{t_B-180}{150}=\frac{t_A}{100}$

4. $\frac{t_B-40}{100}=\frac{t_A}{180}$

An aluminium sphere is dipped into the water. Which of the following is true?

1. Buoyancy will be less in water at 0°C than that in water at 4°C

2. Buoyancy will be more in water at 0°C than that in water at 4°C

3. Buoyancy in water at 0°C will be the same as that in water at 4°C

4. Buoyancy may be more or less in water at 4°C depending on the radius of the sphere

Heat is associated with:

1. kinetic energy of random motion of molecules

2. kinetic energy of orderly motion of molecules

3. total kinetic energy of random and orderly motion of molecules

4. kinetic energy of random motion in some cases and kinetic energy of orderly motion in other

The radius of a metal sphere at room temperature T is R and the coefficient of linear expansion of the metal is $\alpha$. The sphere heated a little by a temperature $∆$T so that its new temperature is T+$∆$T. The increase in the volume of the sphere is approximately:

1. $2\mathrm{\pi R\alpha }∆\mathrm{T}$

2. ${\mathrm{\pi R}}^2\mathrm{\alpha }∆\mathrm{T}$

3. $4{\mathrm{\pi R}}^3\mathrm{\alpha }∆\mathrm{T}/3$

4. $4{\mathrm{\pi R}}^3\mathrm{\alpha }∆\mathrm{T}$

A sphere, a cube and a thin circular plate, all of the same material and same mass are initially heated to the same high temperature.

1. Plate will cool fastest and cube the slowest

2. Sphere will cool fastest and cube the slowest

3. Plate will cool fastest and sphere the slowest

4. Cube will cool fastest and plate the slowest

Gulab Jamuns (assumed to be spherical) are to be heated in an oven. They are available in two sizes, one twice bigger (in radius) than the other. Pizzas (assumed to be discs) are also to be heated in the oven. They are also in two sizes, one twice bigger (in radius) than the other. All four are put together to be heated to oven temperature.

(a) Both size gulab jamuns will get heated in the same time.

(b) Smaller gulab jamuns are heated before bigger ones.

(c) Smaller pizzas are heated before bigger ones.

(d) Bigger pizzas are heated before smaller ones.
