Which statement about viruses is NOT true?
Viruses cannot replicate on their own; they require a host cell's machinery. They contain either DNA or RNA, can infect bacteria (bacteriophages), and are subcellular (acellular).
A ball is thrown vertically upward with initial speed $u$. The distance covered during the last $t$ seconds of its ascent is:
By time-reversal symmetry: the last $t$ seconds of ascent is equivalent to free fall from rest for $t$ seconds.
Distance $= \dfrac{1}{2}gt^2$
- The diameter of the dispersed particles is not much smaller than the wavelength of light used.
- The refractive indices of the dispersed phase and the dispersion medium differ greatly in magnitude.
A particle's position (in metres) is $(2,3)$ at $t=0$, $(6,7)$ at $t=2\text{ s}$, and $(13,14)$ at $t=5\text{ s}$. The average velocity vector from $t=0$ to $t=5\text{ s}$ is:
Displacement: $\Delta\vec{r} = (13-2)\hat{i} + (14-3)\hat{j} = 11\hat{i}+11\hat{j}$
Average velocity $= \dfrac{\Delta\vec{r}}{\Delta t} = \dfrac{11\hat{i}+11\hat{j}}{5} = \mathbf{\dfrac{11}{5}(\hat{i}+\hat{j})}$
