Q:

Where should a boat compass be mounted?

A) near magnet B) near iron
C) away from electrical wiring D) All the above
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) away from electrical wiring

Explanation:

A compass, which is used to assist in navigation, is an instrument that shows magnetic north. You must apply a correction to determine the direction of true north. The ability to steer a boat by a compass is useful if land is out of sight, visibility is reduced, or the boat operator is disoriented.

 

Mount a boat compass away from iron, magnets, and electrical wiring and equipment.

Q:

In very cold countries alcohol is used as a thermometric liquid because 

A) alcohol is a poor conductor of heat B) alcohol can be coloured for its level to be seen easily
C) its freezing point is very low D) it will not stick to the glass tube
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) its freezing point is very low

Explanation:

Alcohol has a freezing point as low as -117oC. So it won't freeze even in very cold countries.

Q:

A ball is thrown vertically upward from the ground. It crosses a point at the height of 25 m twice at an interval of 4 seconds. The ball was thrown with the velocity of

A) 18 m/s B) 25 m/s
C) 30 m/s D) 36 m/s
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 30 m/s

Explanation:

The interval between object pass the same point is 4 sec.

That means in 2 sec, object reaches the top and in next 2 sec, it again reaches the same point.

By the info given, we can find the velocity of that point by using : v=u+(-gt)

0= u - 10×2

u = 20

Then the velocity at 25m is 20m/sec.

so the initial velocity is


-v2 = u2 + (-2gh)400 = u2 - 2x 10 x 25u2 = 900 => u = 30 m/s

How it works:


It allows the engine of the vehicle to shut off or to be turned off immediately as it is to prevent further complications to happen as this is being used when an emergency is launched


 


Where it is used:


Most powerboats and PWCs come equipped by the manufacturer with an emergency engine cut-off switch.

RYB (an abbreviation of red–yellow–blue) is a historical set of colors used in subtractive color mixing and is one commonly used set of primary colors. It is primarily used in art and design education, particularly painting.

RYB predates modern scientific color theory, which has determined that cyan, magenta, and yellow are the best set of three colorants to combine, for the widest range of high-chroma colors.
