Q:

Gasoline is useful in cars because it has

A) chemical potential energy B) electrical potential energy
C) gravitational potential energy D) kinetic energy
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) chemical potential energy

Explanation:

Gasoline is a colorless petroleum-derived flammable liquid that is used primarily as a fuel in spark-ignited internal combustion engines. It consists mostly of organic compounds obtained by the fractional distillation of petroleum, enhanced with a variety of additives. It is also called as Petrol. It has chemical potential energy, in combustion it is turned into light, sound, heat and kinetic energy.

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:

The cover of a solar coker is made of glass because 

A) it absorbs sun's rays B) it reflects sun's rays
C) it retains the heat inside by the green house effect D) it rediates heat better than metals
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) it retains the heat inside by the green house effect

Explanation:

As the inside of the cooker is painted black, heat absorption is more producing heat waves of longer wavelength which cannot escape through glass and hence are trapped inside. Thus the food is cooked.

Q:

Which must be true for metamorphism to occur?

A) The parent rock must be in solid form. B) Tons of pressure must be applied.
C) The process must take place underground. D) All the above
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) All the above

Explanation:

Metamorphism is the change of minerals or geologic texture in pre-existing rocks, without the protolith melting into liquid magma. The change occurs primarily due to heat, pressure, and the introduction of chemically active fluids.

 

The parent rock must be in solid form. Tons of pressure must be applied for metamorphism to happen. The process must take place underground.
