Q:

The cover of a solar coker is made of glass because 

A) it absorbs sun's rays B) it reflects sun's rays
C) it retains the heat inside by the green house effect D) it rediates heat better than metals
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) it retains the heat inside by the green house effect

Explanation:

As the inside of the cooker is painted black, heat absorption is more producing heat waves of longer wavelength which cannot escape through glass and hence are trapped inside. Thus the food is cooked.

Q:

If a barometric reading is falling, this usually indicates what

A) Increasing pressure B) Decreasing pressure
C) No pressure D) None
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) Decreasing pressure

A barometer is a tool that measures air pressure

A rising barometer indicates increasing air pressure, a falling barometer indicates decreasing air pressure.

In space, there is a nearly complete vacuum, so the air pressure is zero.

Q:

what is the source of energy for the water cycle?

A) Rain water B) Sun
C) Clouds D) Animals
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) Sun

Explanation:

The water cycle is a term for the movement of water between the Earth's surface, the sky and underground. Water evaporates due to heat from the sun. Hence, the water cycle is driven primarily by the energy from the sun.

This solar energy drives the cycle by evaporating water from the oceans, lakes, rivers, and even the soil. Other water moves from plants to the atmosphere through the process of transpiration.

Q:

At what temperature do the Fahrenheit and celcius scales give the same reading?

A) 212 degrees B) 32 degreees
C) -40 degreees D) 0 degreees
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) -40 degreees

Explanation:

We want the temperature when F=C.

We know that, F = C x 95 + 32

So substituting C For F, we have C = -40o

Therefore,  C = -40. 

Thus when C = -40, we have C = F

Q:

A doppler effect occurs when a source of sound moves

A) away from you B) towards you
C) Both A & B D) None of the above
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) Both A & B

Explanation:

The Doppler effect or Doppler shift is the change in frequency or wavelength of a wave in relation to an observer who is moving relative to the wave source.
