Q:

Consider the following statements :

1. There is no net moment on a body which is in equilibrium.

2. The momentum of a body is always conserved.

3. The kinetic energy of an object is always conserved.

Which of the statements given above is/are correct?

A) 1, 2 and 3 B) 2 and 3 only
C) 1 and 2 only D) 1 only
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 1 and 2 only

Explanation:

There are two conditions that must be met for an object to be in equilibrium. The first condition is that the net force on the object must be zero for the object to be in equilibrium. If net force is zero, then net force along any direction is zero.

Kinetic energy (KE) is the energy of motion, and kinetic energy is not always conserved in a collision

Energy and momentum are always conserved.

how_tall_is_the_table1542200476.jpg image

A) 40 cm B) 150 cm
C) 120 cm D) 45 cm
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 150 cm

Explanation:

Let the heights of Cat, Table and Turtle be C, T & R respectively.

 

From the above given figure,

 

C + T - R = 170 ......(a)

 

R + T - C = 130 ......(b)

 

Adding above eqns (a) & (b), we get

 

2T = 300

 

T = 150 cm

 

Hence, the height of the table is 150 cm.

Q:

Read the passage carefully and choose the best answer to each question out of the four alternatives.

 

The flora and fauna of Cubbon Park captures our attention more than anything else. But when you take time to look closely at the statue, you will marvel at its sheer grandeur. Sculpted by Sir Thomas Brock, the 11 feet high marble statue is larger than life. It brings out the personality of Queen Victoria, who had been the Monarch of Great Britain from 1837 till 1901, depicting a rather proud, stern person with pronounced features.

In 1906, the statue was unveiled in the city by George Frederick Ernest Albert, Prince of Wales and Duke of Cornwall and York, making it stand in all its glory in its 111th year. Even though there is a wealth of history to the statue, and it was made to appear imposing, the busy Bengalureans would probably refer to it as just another landmark. As the workers are busy in discussion on the instructions given to them, life continues as usual in the Park.


How many people unveiled the Queen Victoria statue at Cubbon Park?

A) 1 B) 6
C) 4 D) 2
