Q:

Improve the given sentence if necessary.

We can go out whenever we choose to, isn’t it?

A) can’t we B) are we not
C) don’t we D) No improvement
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) can’t we

Explanation:

The question tag ‘isn’t it’ needs to be replaced with ‘can’t we’. This is because the sentence and the question tag must be in the same tense and the same pronoun is to be used in the question tag. Thus, the correct formation would be, ‘we can go out whenever we choose to, can’t we?’

There are two conditions that must be met for an object to be in equilibrium. The first condition is that the net force on the object must be zero for the object to be in equilibrium. If net force is zero, then net force along any direction is zero.

Kinetic energy (KE) is the energy of motion, and kinetic energy is not always conserved in a collision

Energy and momentum are always conserved.

Q:

Which one of the following is applicable to collision-coalescence process of precipitation?

 

A) Clouds which do not extend beyond the freezing level B) Clouds which extend beyond the freezing level
C) All types of clouds D) Cirrocumulus cloud
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) Clouds which do not extend beyond the freezing level

Explanation:

In colder clouds: droplets formed by Bergeron mechanism. But, in many parts of the world the air is too warm for ice crystals to form. This being the case, rain and snow cannot develop following the Bergeron Process. Instead, tiny droplets form as they collide into one another creating larger and larger droplet, this is known as collision-coalescence process. So, warmer clouds are associated with this keyword.
