Q:

Lightning is produced when 

A) Similar charges of electricity rush towards each other and then get repelled B) clouds strike against impurities in air and the friction burns up these impurities
C) strong opposite charges in different clouds break down the resistance offered by the intervening air D) water vapour produces electricity in the clouds
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) strong opposite charges in different clouds break down the resistance offered by the intervening air

Explanation:

When the resistance of the air between breaks down the current flows from the positive cloud to the negative cloud in a flash which we call lightning . The difference of potential involves is very high.

Q:

Is rusting a physical or chemical change?

Answer

In chemistry rusting is called as oxidation. Oxidation is a chemical process where metal gains oxygen and become oxide. In rusting the Iron ore make a chemical reaction with the oxygen in the presence of water and environmental or atmospheric moisture to produce an Iron oxide. Iron oxide is otherwise called as rust.


The rusting of iron is a chemical change because it is two substances reacting together to make a new substance. 


 


Rusting would only be a physical change if iron molecules remained pure iron throughout the process.

A) Sukhoi-29 MKI B) Sukhoi-32 MKI
C) Sukhoi-31 MKI D) Sukhoi-30 MKI
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) Sukhoi-30 MKI

Explanation:

Brahmos, the world’s fastest supersonic cruise missile created history on today after it was successfully flight- tested for the first time from the IAF’s frontline fighter aircraft Sukhoi-30MKI against a sea-based target in the Bay of Bengal.


The armed forces are now capable of launching the Brahmos, which has a strike range of around 290 km and is described as the world’s fastest supersonic cruise missile, from land, sea and air, completing the tactical cruise missile triad for the country.

Q:

What do lines of latitude measure?

A) east-west position between the poles B) north-south position between the poles
C) north-east position between the poles D) south-west position between the poles
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) north-south position between the poles

Explanation:

Lines of latitude measure north-south position between the poles.

 

Lines of latitude are imaginary reference lines that describe how far north or south a location on the Earth is from the Equator. The equator is defined as 0 degrees, the North Pole is 90 degrees north, and the South Pole is 90 degrees south. Lines of latitude are all parallel to each other, thus they are often referred to as parallels.
