- Question
In a freezer ice cubes will be formed more quickly in trays made of
Options- A. rubber
- B. plastic
- C. aluminium
- D. wood
- Correct Answer
- aluminium
ExplanationAluminium being a good conductor of heat conducts away the heat from the substance quite easily and causes quick freezing.

- C. its direction always changes
- D. its speed may or maynot change Discuss
- 2. Pieces of camphor placed on water move about rapidly. This is because of
Options- A. diffusion
- B. viscosity
- C. surface tension
- D. capillarity Discuss
- 3. 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 Discuss
- 4. A bucket of water is hung from a spring balance. A piece of iron is suspended in the water without touching the sides or touching the bottom of the bucket. The reading of the spring balance
Options- A. will increase
- B. will decrease
- C. does not change
- D. varies with the increase of depth of the immersion of the iron piece Discuss
- 5. Masses of stars and galaxies are usually expressed in terms of
Options- A. neutron mass
- B. earth's mass
- C. solar mass
- D. lunar mass Discuss
- 6. Skating on ice is possible because
Options- A. the surface of ice is smooth
- B. ice is cold
- C. the pressure on the ice due to skate melts the ice by lowering its melting point forming a thin film of water
- D. the pressure on the ice due to skate raises its melting point Discuss

- B. Dispersion of light
- C. Total Internal Reflection
- D. Refraction of light & Total Internal Reflection of light Discuss
- 8. The base of an electric iron is brightly polished mainly
Options- A. to make it smooth and frictionless
- B. to make it rust-proof
- C. to reduce heat loss by radiation
- D. to make it more durable Discuss
- 9. A ball is thrown vertically upwards. Assuming the air resistance to be constant and cosiderable:
Options- A. the time of ascent < the time of descent
- B. the time of ascent > the time of descent
- C. the time of ascent = the time of descent
- D. none of these Discuss
- 10. Pick out the only scalar quantity
Options- A. power
- B. Electric field
- C. magnetic momentum
- D. average velocity Discuss

Correct Answer: its speed may or maynot change
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: Weight
Explanation:
Rate 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: 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
Correct Answer: to reduce heat loss by radiation
Explanation:
Polished surfaces are poor radiators of heat. So loss of heat on that account is reduced and the electric iron remains hotter than otherwise.
Correct Answer: the time of ascent < the time of descent
Correct Answer: power
