Q:

Which law relates to the ideal gas law?

A) P1T1 = P2T2 B) P1/V1 = P2/V2
C) P1V1 = P2V2 D) T1/V1 = T2/V2
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) P1V1 = P2V2

Explanation:

Ideal Gas Law ::

The Combined gas law or General Gas Equation is obtained by combining Boyle's Law, Charles' Law, and Gay-Lussac's Law. It shows the relationship between the pressure, volume, and temperature for a fixed mass (quantity) of gas:

P1V1T1 = P2V2T2

 

Hence, the Boyle's law P1V1 = P2T2, relates to ideal gas equation.

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.

Q:

Buoyancy depends on

A) the mass of the liquid displaced B) the mass of the body
C) the depth to which the body is immersed D) the shaped of the body
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) the mass of the liquid displaced

Explanation:

Buoyancy or Upthrust, is an upward force exerted by a fluid that opposes the weight of an immersed object.

In a column of fluid, pressure increases with depth as a result of the weight of the overlying fluid.

Q:

A man stands in a lift which accelerates upwards. The resultant reaction force on the floor of the lift is 

A) greater than the weight of the man B) less than the weight of the man
C) Same as the weight of the man D) Zero
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) greater than the weight of the man

Explanation:

The weight of the man mg is acting on the floor. As the lift is moving up with an acceleration, say a, the man too in it is having this acceleration. The force producing this acceleration is ma. By Newton's third law, this force will have an equal reaction pressing the floor equal to ma. Therefore the total resultant reaction on the floor is mg+ma = m(g+a) which is mg, the weight of the man. So (a) is correct.

Q:

Nuclear Fission is caused by the impact of

A) Electron B) Neutron
C) Proton D) Deutron
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) Neutron

Explanation:

In nuclear physics, nuclear fission is either a nuclear reaction or a radioactive decay process in which the nucleus of an atom splits into smaller parts (lighter nuclei). The fission process often produces free neutrons and releases a very large amount of energy.

 

Thus, The Nuclear Fission is caused by the impact of Neutrons.

Q:

Sound travels fastest in

A) Vacuum B) Air
C) Glass D) Water
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) Glass

Explanation:

Sound is a mechanical vibration and needs a medium for propagation. The higher the density of the medium, the faster the sound travels. So, sound cannot travel through vacuum.

 

As the sound travels faster in solids than liquids and gases, sound travels faster in the glass than Air and water.

Q:

If a band is played on the moon the sound will 

A) reverberate B) be heard by us faintly
C) be heard upto 10 km from it D) not be heard at any distance at all from it
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) not be heard at any distance at all from it

Explanation:

As there is no atmosphere surrounding the moon, the second from any band that is played there cannot travel outwards there is no material medium surrounding if for its propagation.
