What is the tension between the earth and its nearest objects?
A.
B.
C.
D.
Answer & Solution
Answer:
GravityLiterally tension is the force that is transmitted through
any object when it is pulled on both sides. In this perspective momenta is the
tension between earth and its nearest objects.
22
Where is the gravitational acceleration is maximum?
A.
B.
C.
D.
Answer & Solution
Answer:
At the center of gravityAt the center of the earth the acceleration due to gravity
is zero. Consequently, gravitational acceleration is greatest at earth's
surface. Practically the maximum point of acceleration is in the Arctic Ocean,
nearer to the coast of Greenland.
23
How is the atmosphere is rotating with the earth?
A.
B.
C.
D.
Answer & Solution
Answer:
Being attracted by the earth's centripetal attractionBound to the earth by gravity and due to friction with the
earth surface and viscosity of multiple layers of air, atmosphere rotates with
the earth constantly.
24
If one of the two objects is the earth, then what is the attraction between them called?
A.
B.
C.
D.
Answer & Solution
Answer:
GravityThe attraction or fundamental interaction between the earth
and an object or any two objects in the earth is known as Gravity.
25
Where is the weight of an object zero?
A.
B.
C.
D.
Answer & Solution
Answer:
At the center of gravityThe weight of
an object is zero at the center
of the Earth because the gravitational force from all
directions cancels out. At this point, the gravitational acceleration (g) is
zero, meaning the object would experience no net gravitational force. At the
Earth's surface, the value of 'g' is maximum, and the object experiences its full
weight.
26
What is the main task of lubrication system?
A.
B.
C.
D.
Answer & Solution
Answer:
Reduce temperature caused by friction between sliding or rolling parts.Lubrication system first used by Wright Brothers. This
system is considered to reduce temperature caused by friction between sliding
or rolling parts, give a flow to the clean oil at the accurate temperature,
with appropriate pressure to each part of the engine.
27
Why do we lean forward while climbing the mountain up?
A.
B.
C.
D.
Answer & Solution
Answer:
To maintain equilibrium position of our body.As the mountain slope is inclined at an angle from the
normal ground, our body leans forward so that center of gravity becomes low in
order to maintain the equilibrium position, provided that we don’t fall on our
back.
28
Why do astronauts feel weightless while orbiting the earth?
A.
B.
C.
D.
Answer & Solution
Answer:
The astronauts have a mean acceleration equal to “g”.Astronauts, orbiting the earth, do feel weightless as there
is no ground or any other force to counteract the force of gravity; i.e. the
astronauts orbiting the earth have acceleration equal to gravity.
29
Where is the weight of an object is the most?
A.
B.
C.
D.
Answer & Solution
Answer:
In the polar regionThe weight of an object is greatest in the polar region because the
Earth is slightly flattened at the poles and bulges at the equator due to its
rotation. This means the distance from the Earth's center to the poles is
shorter than at the equator. Since gravitational force is stronger when objects
are closer to the Earth's center, an object weighs more at the poles than at
the equator.

If an object is taken to the moon, its weight .............................. .
A.
B.
C.
D.
Answer & Solution
Answer:
will decreaseThe weight of an object on the earth is equal to
multiplication of its mass and gravitational acceleration of the earth. The
moon has one-sixth the acceleration than the earth. Hence, if an object is
taken to moon, its weight will be reduced to one-sixth of the earth.
