Q:

Which of the following is Not a form of Energy?

A) Heat B) Sound
C) Motion D) Pressure
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) Pressure

Explanation:

Pressure is Not a form of Energy.

 

Energy : It is defined as the ability to do work.

Energy comes in two basic forms. They are :

1. Potential Energy

2. Kinetic Energy

 

Potential Energy is any type of stored energy. It can be chemical, nuclear, gravitational, or mechanical.

Kinetic Energy is found in movement. An airplane flying or a meteor plummeting each have kinetic energy. Even the tiniest things have kinetic energy, like atoms vibrating when they are hot or when they transmit sound waves. Electricity is the kinetic energy of flowing electrons between atoms.

Q:

A spring is an example of which of these

A) Newton's 3rd law B) Hooke's law
C) Newton's 1st law D) Conservation of mass law
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) Hooke's law

Explanation:

When you compress or stretch a spring, as soon as the stress is relieved, the spring attains its normal shape instantly. Its Elastic potential energy helps it do so. Generally, these elastic substances follow the Hooke’s law.

 

According to this Law, the force needed to change the shape of spring is proportional to the displacement of the spring. The displacement referred here is how far the spring is compressed or stretched from its normal shape. Mathematically, Hook’s Law can be summarised as F= – k x. Here ‘k’ is the spring constant and ‘x’ is the displacement.

Q:

Hot water is poured simultaneously in four metallic tumblers painted outside with different points. After some time the water will be found to have cooled most in the tumbler painted.

A) rough white B) rough black
C) shining white D) shining black
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) rough black

Explanation:

Black  surfaces are good emitters of heat ( They are also good absorbers of heat). If the black surface is rough too, the emitting will be better. So (b) is the correct answer. Shining surfaces reflect back radiation. So if the black surface is also shining the effectiveness of emitting heat is lessened.

Q:

Which statement best describes an igneous intrusion?

A) Igneous intrusion for when ice crystals splash into lava B) Magma is injected into surrounding rock forming an igneous intrusive
C) Magma is exported to an open area and forms iron D) Magma explodes to the surface and forms a smooth outer layer of rock
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) Magma is injected into surrounding rock forming an igneous intrusive

Explanation:

Magma is injected into surrounding rock forming an igneous intrusive.

 

Actually it is a plutonic formation in which magma present beneath Earth surface deforms the shape of rocks present above it
