General Knowledge Questions

Every object has two typea of energies. They are ::

Potential energy

Kinetic energy

If the object is in motion, then it has Kinetic energy (KE). Potential energy (PE) is energy that is "stored" because of the position and/or arrangement of the object.

Hence, another name for energy of motion is called Kinetic energy.

Galton's whistle is also called as Dogs whistle or silent whistle, is a type of whistle that emits sound in the ultrasonic range, which people cannot hear but some other animals can, including dogs and domestic cats, and is used in their training.

Electric current produces a magnetic field. This magnetic field can be visualized as a pattern of circular field lines surrounding a wire.

without this centripetal force, circular motion is not possible. It acts radially towards the centre and if this force is removed there will be no circular motion but the revolving body will fly off at a tangent.

A mixture is made from different substances that are not chemically joined.Compound:

•Two or more elements combine together chemically to form a new substance called compound.

•The different elements are chemically joined together.•Compounds are homogeneous, i.e. their properties are the same throughout

•The compound has properties different from the elements it contains.

•It can only be separated into its elements using chemical reactions. (not using physical methods)

•During the formation of a compound from its elements, a certain amount of energy in the form of heat, light, electricity is either absorbed or evolved

The mesosphere lies above the stratosphere and extends to an altitude of about 85 km. This is layer is often referred to as the cold layer, as the lowest readings in the atmosphere are found here.

Temperature decreases with height, reaching a minimum average value of -90 ºC at the top of the layer.
