Q:

# For accurate scientific work, temperatures are often measured by

 A) mercury thermometers B) alcohol thermometers C) platinum resistance thermometers D) thermoelectric thermometers

Explanation:

The resistance of metallic conductors e.g, platinum, increases with rise of  temperature . The increase in temperature results in a decrease of current which can be recorded in a galvanometer if the conductor is included in an electrical circuit. Thus the temperature can be known; platinum resistance thermometer is used generally for accurate scientific work. When two dissimilar metals are joined at the ends, and these ends are subjected to a difference of temperature, a current flows through the metals. Greater the difference of temperature , greater the current. So the curent strength can form the basis for measuring the difference in temperature. And when one of these temperatures is known, we can calculate the other.

Q:

The rate of change of linear momentum of a body falling freely under gravity is equal to it's ____ ?

 A) Kinetic Energy B) Weight C) Potential Energy D) Impulse

Explanation:

Rate of change of impulse equals the force . In case of freely falling body the only force is the weight.

Q:

A disk and a sphere of same radius but different masses roll on two inclined planes of the same altitude and length. Which one of the two objects gets to the bottom of the plane first ?

 A) Depends on their masses B) Sphere C) Disk D) Both reach at the same time

Explanation:

Time does not depend on mass, else

$\inline \fn_jvn T \prec \sqrt{\left ( 1 +\frac{k^{2}}{R^{2}} \right )}$

$\inline \fn_jvn \frac{k^{2}}{R^{2}}$  => is least for 'sphere' and

hence least time is taken by sphere.
