- Question 12 of 50
12. Question
The spoon dropped by an astronaut in a satellite will:
Hint
The spoon dropped by an astronaut in a satellite will continue to follow the motion of the satellite. The reason that an object (spoon) will maintain its orbit, regardless of its position in the orbit, is because the gravitational force from the larger object (earth) will constantly act upon the smaller object, thereby pulling the smaller object towards the larger object.
- Question 13 of 50
13. Question
A colour-blind person cannot:
Hint
A colour-blind person cannot distinguish between certain colours. Color blindness often happens when someone cannot distinguish between certain colors. This usually happens between greens and reds, and occasionally blues.
- Question 14 of 50
14. Question
Pipelines in cold countries often burst in winter, because:
Hint
Water pipes in hilly areas often burst on a cold frosty night, because water in the pipes freezes and on freezing water expands in its volume, causing a significant amount of pressure buildup, so pipes break.
- Question 15 of 50
15. Question
When a body is taken from earth to moon:
Hint
When a body is taken from earth to moon, weight changes but mass remains same. An object’s weight is dependent on its mass and how strongly gravity pulls on it. The strength of gravity depends on how far away one object is from another. That’s why the same object weighs different amounts on different planets.
- Question 16 of 50
16. Question
A mirage occurs because of:
Hint
A mirage occurs because of total internal reflection by layers of air. When the ground is very hot and the air is cool. The hot ground warms a layer of air just above the ground. When the light moves through the cold air and into the layer of hot air it is refracted (bent). A layer of very warm air near the ground refracts the light from the sky nearly into a U-shaped bend.
- Question 17 of 50
17. Question
Atomic power plant works on the principle of:
Hint
Nuclear reactors operate on the principle of nuclear fission, the process in which a heavy atomic nucleus splits into two smaller fragments. The nuclear fragments are in very excited states and emit neutrons, other subatomic particles, and photons.
- Question 18 of 50
18. Question

19. Question
A person is hurt on kicking a stone due to:
Hint
Newton’s third law states that when two bodies interact, they apply forces to one another that are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction. The third law is also known as the law of action and reaction. When we kick the stone, the stone exerts an equal and opposite force on the leg which hurts us.

The modulus of rigidity, also known as shear modulus, is the ratio of shearing stress to shearing strain. It is the elastic coefficient when a shear force is applied resulting in lateral deformation.
- Question 32 of 50
32. Question
The propagation of sound waves in a gas involves:
Hint
The propagation of sound waves in a gas involves adiabatic compression and rarefaction. Sound waves travel very quickly through mediums in cycles of compression and rarefaction. Therefore the expansion and compression takes place very quickly, causing a localized variation in temperature. This is the reason why the propagation of sound waves is an adiabatic process.

33. Question
If input frequency of a full-wave rectifier be n, then output frequency would be:
Hint
A full-wave rectifier rectifies both the half cycles of the AC input i.e., it conducts twice during a cycle. Hence, output frequency would be double to that of input frequency. Thus, the output frequency of a full-wave rectifier would be 2n.

Hint
The freezing and melting point of water is 0°C. The liquid form of water starts to become solid (ice) and solid (ice) starts to become liquid (water) at this temperature. Hence, at 0°C water exists in both liquid (water) and solid (ice) states.

43. Question
A transformer works on the principle of:
Hint
A transformer works on the principle of mutual induction. The core of the transformer works to direct the path of the magnetic field between the primary and secondary coils to prevent wasted energy. Once the magnetic field reaches the secondary coil, it forces the electrons within it to move, creating an electric current via electromotive force (EMF).
- Question 44 of 50
44. Question

Hint
A communications satellite’s transponder is the series of interconnected units that form a communications channel between the receiving and the transmitting antennas. It is mainly used in communication satellite to receives signals from an earth station and transmits them to different directions.
- Question 46 of 50
46. Question
When a ship enters the sea from a river:
Hint
When a ship enters the sea from a river it rises a little because seawater has more density than river water. Due to the higher density of seawater, the upthrust produced by the seawater on the ship is greater as compared to that produced by river water.
- Question 47 of 50
47. Question
Two stones of unequal masses are thrown vertically up with the same velocity. Which of the following will happen?
Hint
When a body is thrown upward, the height attained by that body is independent of the mass and depends on the initial speed of the body and the value of g. So, two stones of unequal masses are thrown vertically up with the same velocity they will reach the same height.
- Question 48 of 50
48. Question
The centre of gravity of a sprinter during the race lies:
Hint
The centre of gravity of a sprinter during the race lies ahead of his feet. It is an imaginary point in a body of matter where the total weight of the body may be thought to be concentrated. Running with a lean allows gravity to pull the runner forward.
- Question 49 of 50
49. Question
Cloudy nights are warmer compared to clear nights, because clouds mainly:
Hint
Cloudy nights are warmer compared to clear nights because of radiation. On Cloudy nights, clouds warm the Earth by absorbing infrared radiation emitted from the surface and reradiating it back down.
- Question 50 of 50
50. Question
A metal plate with a circular hole at the centre is heated. What will happen to the area of the hole?
Hint
A metal plate with a circular hole at the centre is heated, then the hole will expand in the same ratio as the metal. This is because the metal plate does not expand radially from the hole, it expands along the circumference i.e. the circumference of the ring expands in the same ratio as the width of the plate.
