Q:

A solid ball of metal has a spherical cavity inside it. When the ball is heated the volume of the cavity will

A) increase B) decrease
C) remain unaffected D) have its shape changed
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) increase

Explanation:

The metal ball can be considered  to be made up of several layers of thinner ones. On heating each of these layers will increase in radius. As the inner most layer also increases its radius, the volume inside it i.e, the volume of the hollow portion will also increase.

Q:

Rain drops acquire spherical shape due to 

A) viscosity B) surface tension
C) friction D) elasticity
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) surface tension

Explanation:

The Surface tension pulls the surface of the drop equally at all points thus produces the spherical shape having the minimum surface area. This surface tension is the "skin" of a body of water that makes the molecules stick together.
