Q:

Kilohertz is a unit which measures

A) Electromagnetic radio wave frequencies B) Electric resistance
C) Power used by a current of one ampere D) Voltage
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) Electromagnetic radio wave frequencies

Explanation:

The hertz (Hz) is defined as one cycle per second and is a SI unit of frequency. Here kilohertz is also a unit of frequency of waves and is defined as 1000 cycles per second. Radio waves are measured in kilohertz (KHz).

Q:

A capillary tube is partially dipped vertically in a vessel containing water. Due to capillarity water rises in the tube. The height of water rise in the tube can be increased by 

A) decreasing the radius of the capillary tube B) increasing the radius of the capillary tube
C) increasing the height of water in the vessel D) None of these
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) decreasing the radius of the capillary tube

Explanation:

The water rise in a capillary tube dipped in water is such that the weight of water in the tube above the surface of water in the vessel is equal to  the upward force due to surface tension. So it is clear that if the bore to the tube is decreased , the height of the water column in it  must be greater.

Q:

A cyclist leans inwards when he is negotiating a curve so that

A) he may increase his speed B) his weight may be reduced
C) necessary centripetal force may be available from the horizontal component of the normal reaction due to the track to maintain the curved motion. D) no frictional force may be produced between the wheels and the axle
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) necessary centripetal force may be available from the horizontal component of the normal reaction due to the track to maintain the curved motion.

Explanation:

No circular or curved motion is possible without providing the necessary centripetal force. (C) provides this and so is the answer.

Q:

Which of these is not a simple machine?

A) a pair of scissors B) a lever
C) a ramp D) the pulley
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) a pair of scissors

Explanation:

Any of the basic mechanical devices for applying a force are called simple machines.

There are 6 basic simple machines; the lever, the wheel and axle, the inclined plane, the wedge, the pulley, and the screw. Several of these simple machines are related to each other. But, each has a specific purpose in the world of doing work.
