A seconds pendulum is a pendulum whose period is precisely two seconds i.e, one second for a swing in one direction and one second for the return swing.

This is a different way of asking your age. It can be how long you have been living in days weeks months and years since your birth date.

Polarity :: 

The polarity of a molecule defines its other physical properties such as melting point, boiling point, surface tension, vapor pressure etc... Simply, polarity occurs when the electron distribution in a molecule is asymmetric. This results in a net dipole moment in the molecule. One end of the molecule is charged negative while the other gets a positive charge.

The polarization of a molecule greatly depends on the shape of the molecule. A diatomic molecule like HF mentioned above has no issue of shape. The net dipole moment is only due to the uneven distribution of electrons between the two atoms. However, when there are more than two atoms involved in making a bond, there are many complexities.

The water molecule is of bent shape. Therefore, when the two pair of electrons shared by oxygen with two hydrogen atoms is pulled towards oxygen, the net dipole moment results in the direction of the oxygen atom. There is no other force to cancel out the resultant dipole moment. Hence, the water molecule is highly polar.

Ammonia molecule is of a pyramid shape and the electronegative N atom pulls the electrons towards itself. The three N-H bonds are not in the same plane; hence the dipole moments created do not get canceled out. This makes ammonia a polar molecule.

However, the dipole moments sometimes get canceled due to the shape of the molecules, making the molecule non-polar. Carbon dioxide is such a molecule.

As in the given statement, India is already endowed with tourist spots. Therefore, the existing potential should be exploited.

In 2019, the Budgetary allocation to the Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana was Rs 19,000 Crores.

If an object moves with some velocity that means the magnitude and direction of the object changes i.e, the object moves with some acceleration. Hence, if the object moves with constant velocity, no change in direction and magnitude of speed i.e, no acceleration = 0 acceleration.

Demand is said to be inelastic, when the demand for the good doesn't change much or it is negotiable when the price of the good changed.
