Viscosity is the measure of the resistance of fluid towards the shear stress when it is applied for fluid to flow or deformation. Viscosity describes the internal friction within a fluid. A fluid with high viscosity has more internal friction and hence it resists motion. If one pours water and honey, honey flows slower because it has higher viscosity. This affects the ease of a fluid with which it moves, higher viscosity means slow flow due to greater resistance.

A fluid's viscosity can be influenced by various factors. It mostly decreases with increasing temperature as the intermolecular forces are weakened by the increased kinetic ene

Are there numerical in physics class 11?

Vikash Kumar Vishwakarma

Yes, there are many numerical problems in class 11 Physics. All important formulas must be on figure tips.

What is chapter 11 physics name?

Vikash Kumar Vishwakarma

Class 11 Physics Chapter 11 is Thermodynamics. It is one of the most important topic in Physics.

Which are thermodynamics processes according to Class 11 Physics Thermodynamics?

Pallavi Pathak

There are three main processes Isothermal, adiabatic and cyclic process. In isothermal, the system is thermally conductive and the temperature remains constant. In adiabatic process, the system is thermally isolated and there is no change in heat temperature. The system returns to its initial stage in the cyclic process.

What is weightage of Class 11 Physics Chapter 11 Thermodynamics in NEET and JEE Main exams?

Pallavi Pathak

In NEET entrance test, the weightage of Class 11 Physics Chapter 11 Thermodynamics is around 7%. Students should thoroughly understand the thermodynamic laws and internal energy. The medical entrance test includes theory and numerically-based questions. For JEE Main, the chapter has more significance, and it has nearly 15% weightage of the total Physics syllabus.

Let us consider a vector $\overset{?}{P}$ . The equation can be written as

Px = Py = 1 $|\overset{?}{P}|$ = $\sqrt (P_{x}^{2} + P_{y}^{2})$ $|\overset{?}{P}|$ = $\sqrt (1^{2} + 1^{2}) |\overset{?}{P}|$ = $\sqrt{2}$ …….(i)

So the magnitude of vector $\overset{?}{i}$ + $\overset{?}{j}$ = $\sqrt{2}$

Let $θ$ be the angle made by vector $\overset{?}{P}$ , with the x axis as given in the above figure

$\tan ? θ$ = $(P x / P y) θ$ = $\tan^{- 1} ? (1 / 1)$ , $θ$ = 45 $°$ with the x axis

Let $\overset{?}{Q}$ = $\overset{?}{i}$ - $\overset{?}{j}$

$\overset{?}{Q_{x}} \overset{?}{i}$ – $\overset{?}{Q_{y}}$ $\overset{?}{j}$ = ( $\overset{?}{i}$ – $\overset{?}{j})$

$\overset{?}{Q_{x}}$ = $\overset{?}{Q_{y}}$ = 1

$|\overset{?}{Q}|$ = $\sqrt{{Q_{x}}^{2} + {Q_{y}}^{2}}$ = $\sqrt 2$

Hence $|\overset{?}{Q}|$ = $\sqrt 2$ . Therefore the magnitude of ( $\overset{?}{i}$ + $\overset{?}{j})$ = $\sqrt 2$

Let $θ$

$\tan ? θ$ = $(P x / P y) θ$ = $\tan^{- 1} ? (1 / 1)$ , $θ$ = 45 $°$ with the x axis

Let $\overset{?}{Q}$ = $\overset{?}{i}$ - $\overset{?}{j}$

$\overset{?}{Q_{x}} \overset{?}{i}$ – $\overset{?}{Q_{y}}$ $\overset{?}{j}$ = ( $\overset{?}{i}$ – $\overset{?}{j})$

$\overset{?}{Q_{x}}$ = $\overset{?}{Q_{y}}$ = 1

$|\overset{?}{Q}|$ = $\sqrt{{Q_{x}}^{2} + {Q_{y}}^{2}}$ = $\sqrt 2$

Hence $|\overset{?}{Q}|$ = $\sqrt 2$ . Therefore the magnitude of ( $\overset{?}{i}$ + $\overset{?}{j})$ = $\sqrt 2$

Let $θ$ be the angle made by vector $\overset{?}{Q}$ , with the x axis as given in the above figure

$\tan ? θ$ = $(Q x / Q y) θ$ = ${- \tan}^{- 1} ? (1 / 1)$ , $θ$ = - 45 $°$ with the x axis

It is given that $\overset{?}{A}$ = 2 $\overset{?}{i}$ + 3 $\overset{?}{j}$ . We can write Ax $\overset{?}{i}$ + Ay $\overset{?}{j}$ = 2 $\overset{?}{i}$ + 3 $\overset{?}{j}$

Comparing the components on both sides, we get

Ax =2 and Ay = 3

$|\overset{?}{A}|$ = $\sqrt{{(2}^{2}} + 3^{2}$ ) = $\sqrt 13$

Let $\overset{?}{A_{x}}$ make an angle $θ$ with the x axis, then

$\tan ? θ$ = (Ax / Ay), $θ$ = $\tan^{- 1} (? 3 / 2)$ = 56.31 $°$

So the angle between (2 $\overset{?}{i}$ + 3 $\overset{?}{j}$ ) and ( $\overset{?}{i}$ + $\overset{?}{j}$ )

$θ'$ = 56.31 – 45 = 11.31 $°$

Component of vector $\overset{?}{A}$ , along the direction of $\overset{?}{P}$ , making an angle $θ$

= ( A cos $θ'$ ) $\overset{?}{P}$

= ( A cos 11.31) $\frac{(\overset{?}{i} + \overset{?}{j})}{\sqrt{2}}$

= $\sqrt{13}$ $\times \frac{0.9806}{\sqrt{2}}$ ( $\overset{?}{i}$ + $\overset{?}{j}$ )

= 2.5 $\times$ $\sqrt{2}$

= $\frac{5}{\sqrt{2}}$

Let $θ'$ be the angle between the vectors (2 $\overset{?}{i}$ + 3 $\overset{?}{j}$ ) and ( $\overset{?}{i}$ - $\overset{?}{j})$

$θ " = 45 + 56.31 = 101.31 °$

Component of vector $\overset{?}{A}$ , along the direction of $\overset{?}{Q}$ , making an angle $θ$

= (A cos $θ "$ ) $\frac{(\overset{?}{i} - \overset{?}{j})}{\sqrt{2}}$

= $\sqrt{13}$ cos ( $101.31 °) \frac{(\overset{?}{i} - \overset{?}{j})}{\sqrt{2}}$

= -0.5( $\overset{?}{i}$ - $\overset{?}{j})$

= $- \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$
