Q:

In general, which is the cause of a sea breeze?

A) Pressure B) Specific heat
C) Heat D) All the above
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) Specific heat

Explanation:

The usual cause of sea breeze is the difference in specific heat capacity between land and water Land heats and cools more quickly than water.

 

What is the cause of a sea breeze?

The air over the land is warmed and rises, to a greater temperature than that over the sea. This produces a convection current, with cooler air flowing in from over the sea to replace that rising from the land. At night the land cools more than the sea, so the action reverses to produce a land-breeze, blowing off the land.

Q:

Why are manhole covers round?

Answer

A number of possible explanations for why manhole covers are round include :


 


1. A round manhole cover cannot fall through its circular opening, whereas a square, rectangular, or oval manhole cover could fall in if it were inserted diagonally in the hole.


2. Circular covers don’t need to be rotated or precisely aligned when placing them on the opening.


3. A round manhole cover is easily moved and rolled.


4. Human beings have a roughly circular cross-section.


5. Round tubes are the strongest shape against the compression of the earth around them, so the cover of the tube would naturally be round as well.


6. It’s easier to dig a circular hole.

Q:

Basophils increase in number when parasitic invasion occurs.

A) TRUE B) FALSE
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) FALSE

Explanation:

FALSE. Basophils number will not be increased when parasitic invasion occurs.


 


Basophils are a type of white blood cell. Although they're produced in the bone marrow, they're found in many tissues throughout your body. They're part of your immune system and play a role in its proper function.


 


Basophils appear in many specific kinds of inflammatory reactions, particularly those that cause allergic symptoms. If your basophil level is low, it may be due to a severe allergic reaction.


 


Basophils contain anticoagulant heparin, which prevents blood from clotting too quickly. They also contain the vasodilator histamine, which promotes blood flow to tissues.

Q:

Which of the following is not an intensive property?

A) Weight B) Density
C) Refractive index D) Melting point
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) Weight

Explanation:

An intensive property is a physical quantity whose value does not depend on the amount of the substance for which it is measured. For example, the temperature of a system in thermal equilibrium is the same as the temperature of any part of it. If the system is divided the temperature of each subsystem is identical. The same applies to the density of a homogeneous system, if the system is divided in half, the mass and the volume change in the identical ratio and the density remains unchanged. Additionally, the boiling point of a substance is another example of an intensive property. For example, the boiling point for water is 100 °C at a pressure of one atmosphere, a fact which remains true regardless of quantity.
