A light object and a heavy object have the same momentum. Which of these has more kinetic energy?
A.
B.
C.
D.
Answer & Solution
Answer:
Light objectSince momenta of heavy body and light body are same, the velocity of lighter object is greater than that of heavier. Kinetic energy is proportional to the square of velocity. Hence lighter object has greater Kinetic energy.

What is the reason for swing of a ball in the Table tennis?
A.
B.
C.
D.
Answer & Solution
Answer:
Pressure created above and below the ballSwing of ball is an art that can be explained through
aerodynamics. The swing of the ball is ultimately caused by the asymmetric air
flow on either side of the ball and the pressure exerted on the ball with the
upper portion on the table.

What type of engine is a Jet Engine?
A.
B.
C.
D.
Answer & Solution
Answer:
Re-actionA Jet Engine is a re-action engine -an engine which provides
propulsion or thrust by expelling a reaction mass - and works according to
Newton's third rule of motion: "For every action there is an equal and
opposite reaction".
14
As a result of rotation of the earth, why don’t we fall?
A.
B.
C.
D.
Answer & Solution
Answer:
For the force of gravityWe don't fall because of the force of gravity that pulls us
towards the middle of the earth, rotating at a constant rate, and keep our feet
firmly on the surface of the earth.
15
The weight of objects on the moon is the same as weight of the earth .......................?
A.
B.
C.
D.
Answer & Solution
Answer:
one sixthDue to force of gravity, the value of acceleration on the
moon is one-sixth of its value on the earth. Because of this rule the weight of
an object on the moon will be the one-sixth than on the earth.

What is the device for measuring the purity of milk?
A.
B.
C.
D.
Answer & Solution
Answer:
LactometerA lactometer is a little glass
instrument that is used to check for the purity of milk by measuring its
density or to find out the content of the water in the milk or to test the
richness of the milk. It works on the principle of the specific gravity-the
more the amount of water in milk, the more the lactometer will sink in milk.
Whereas, the more the milk with cream, the less the lactometer will float.

What is the name of the instrument for measuring the depth of the sea?
A.
B.
C.
D.
Answer & Solution
Answer:
Fathometer Fathometer is an instrument that is often used for
measuring the depth of the sea. It is generally attached beneath a ship or boat
and sends echoes and sound waves to the basin of the sea and measures how long
it takes for an echo to return for measuring the depth.
