- Question
The rate of change of linear momentum of a body falling freely under gravity is equal to it's ____ ?
Options- A. Kinetic Energy
- B. Weight
- C. Potential Energy
- D. Impulse
- Correct Answer
- Weight
ExplanationRate of change of impulse equals the force . In case of freely falling body the only force is the weight.

Correct Answer: will increase
Explanation:
When the piece of iron is lowered into the water, the water level in the bucket increases. And so the pressure at the bottom of bucket also increases. Thus the total thrust at the botto also increases. Therefore the spring balance reading increases.
Correct Answer: solar mass
Correct Answer: Glass - wool
Explanation:
Materials that do not transfer mechanical energy well. These tend to be soft,flexible, low density, and with high surface area to linear area ratios.
Correct Answer: a magnetic field is used
Correct Answer: 3
Correct Answer: surface tension
Explanation:
The Camphor slowly dissolves in the water lowering the latter's surface tension in the immediate neighbourhood. The stronger pull exerted by the uncontaminated portion of water brings about a movement of the surface and the camphor particles are carried along with it. When after sometime the whole surface settles for the reduced tension, the movement of the camphor too short.
Correct Answer: its speed may or maynot change
Correct Answer: aluminium
Explanation:
Aluminium being a good conductor of heat conducts away the heat from the substance quite easily and causes quick freezing.
Correct Answer: the pressure on the ice due to skate melts the ice by lowering its melting point forming a thin film of water
Explanation:
Here is a case of lowering of melting point of ice with increase of pressure
Correct Answer: Refraction of light & Total Internal Reflection of light
