Question
In what respects does a true solution differ from a colloidal solution?

Answer

A true solution does not scatter a beam of light passing through it but a colloidal solution scatters a beam of light passing through it and renders its path visible. A true solution is a homogeneous mixture of two or more substances whereas a colloidal solution is a kind of solution in which the size of solute particles is intermediate between those in true solutions and those in suspensions and is a heterogeneous mixture.

A driver of a car travelling at $52km/ h^{−1}$ applies the brakes and accelerates uniformly in the opposite direction. The car stops in $5s$. Another driver going at $3km/ h^{−1}$ in another car applies his brakes slowly and stops in $10s$. On the same graph paper, plot the speed versus time graphs for the two cars. Which of the two cars travelled farther after the brakes were applied?

An automobile engine propels a $1,000 \ kg$ car $A$ along a levelled road at a speed of $36 \ km\ h ^{-1}$. Find the power if the opposing frictional force is $100 N$ . Now, suppose after travelling a distance of $200 m ,$ this car collides with another stationary car $B$ of same mass and comes to rest. Let its engine also stop at the same time. Now, car $B$ starts moving on the same level road without getting its engine started. Find the speed of the car $B$ just after the collision.
