Q:

Hot water is poured simultaneously in four metallic tumblers painted outside with different points. After some time the water will be found to have cooled most in the tumbler painted.

A) rough white B) rough black
C) shining white D) shining black
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) rough black

Explanation:

Black  surfaces are good emitters of heat ( They are also good absorbers of heat). If the black surface is rough too, the emitting will be better. So (b) is the correct answer. Shining surfaces reflect back radiation. So if the black surface is also shining the effectiveness of emitting heat is lessened.

Q:

The amount of water vapor in the air is

A) Hot air B) Humidity
C) Dew D) Foam
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) Humidity

Explanation:

The amount of water vapor ranges from a trace amount up to 4% of the mass of air. Water vapor exists as an invisible gas in the air.

 

The amount of water vapor in the air is called absolute humidity. The amount of water vapor in the air as compared with the amount of water that the air could hold is called relative humidity.

The maximum amount of water vapor that can be in the air depends on the air temperature.

Q:

Which lenses should be used to correct the defect of astigmatism?

A) Convex lens B) Bifocal lens
C) Concave lens D) Cylindrical lens
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) Cylindrical lens

Explanation:

Astigmatism is a common vision condition that causes blurred vision. It occurs when the cornea is irregularly shaped or sometimes because of the curvature of the lens inside the eye.

Q:

A man stands on the pan of a balance holding a fish in his right hand and bucket of water in his left hand. If he transfers the fish into the bucket, the total weight on the pan

A) increases B) decreases
C) remains the same D) first increases and then decreases
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) remains the same

Explanation:

Before transferring the fish, the position is the man with the fish and the bucket of water. After transferring the position is : the man without the fish, but the fish inside the water in the bucket. Thus to know whether there is any change in weight, it is enough to consider whether there is any change in weight when the fish in air is transferred into the water. The answer is there is no change as when in water though it loses weight due to upthrust of water on it, the level of water increases and exerts an equal force at the bottom

Answer & Explanation Answer: C) iron

Explanation:

A magnetic domain is a region within a magnetic material in which the magnetization is in a uniform direction. This means that the individual magnetic moments of the atoms are aligned with one another and they point in the same direction.

Q:

The spring constant of a spring depends on its

A) length only B) material only
C) length and its diameter D) thickness, its diameter and its material
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) thickness, its diameter and its material

Explanation:

In dealing with a coil spring the spring constant will depend on the stiffness of the spring material, the thicknessof the wire from which the spring is wound and, diameterof the turns of the coil, the number of turns per unit length and the overall length of the spring.
