Q:

Rocket works on the principle of conservation of

 

A) Momentum B) Mass
C) Velocity D) Energy
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) Momentum

Explanation:

Rocket works on the principle of conservation of momentum. The rockets gain momentum equal to the momentum of the gas expelled from the engine, but in the opposite direction.

Q:

The base of an electric iron is brightly polished mainly

A) to make it smooth and frictionless B) to make it rust-proof
C) to reduce heat loss by radiation D) to make it more durable
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) to reduce heat loss by radiation

Explanation:

Polished surfaces are poor radiators of heat. So loss of heat on that account is reduced and the electric iron remains hotter than otherwise.

Q:

Consider the following statements :

1. There is no net moment on a body which is in equilibrium.

2. The momentum of a body is always conserved.

3. The kinetic energy of an object is always conserved.

Which of the statements given above is/are correct?

A) 1, 2 and 3 B) 2 and 3 only
C) 1 and 2 only D) 1 only
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 1 and 2 only

Explanation:

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.
