Q:

The Hooke's law is valid for

A) only proportional region of the stress strain curve B) entire stress strain curve
C) entire elastic region of the stress strain curve D) elastic as well as plastic region of the stress strain curve
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) only proportional region of the stress strain curve

Explanation:

Hooke's law states that within the elastic limit, stress developed is directly proportional to the strain produced in a body.Hooke’s law is valid only in the linear part of stress-strain curve. Hence, statement 1 is correct.

Q:

Which phase change is an example of an exothermic process?

A) Liquid to Solid B) Gas to Solid
C) Gas to Liquid D) All the above
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) All the above

Explanation:

Processes that require or give off heat will be limited to changes of state, known as phase changes, and changes in chemical constitution, or chemical reactions. Changes of state involve a solid melting, a liquid freezing, a liquid boiling or a gas condensing.

 

An exothermic process is one that gives off heat, which is transferred to the surroundings. An endothermic process is a reaction which heat has to be supplied to the system from the surroundings.

 

Here in all the given options, heat is taken away from them to change there phase. 

Liquid to Solid --- Freezing

Gas to Liquid --- Condensation

Gas to Solid --- Deposition 

are all examples of exothermic processes.

Q:

Which is an example of Phototropism?

A) roots of a plant following water B) plant bending toward the light
C) roots growing into the soil D) a venus flytrap capturing a fly
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) plant bending toward the light

Explanation:

Phototropism is the ability of a photosynthesizing organism, to grow directionally in response to a light source. It is very common in plants, but can also occur in other organisms such as fungi.

Example :: Sunflower
