- Question
Where should a boat compass be mounted?
Options- A. near magnet
- B. near iron
- C. away from electrical wiring
- D. All the above
- Correct Answer
- away from electrical wiring
ExplanationA compass, which is used to assist in navigation, is an instrument that shows magnetic north. You must apply a correction to determine the direction of true north. The ability to steer a boat by a compass is useful if land is out of sight, visibility is reduced, or the boat operator is disoriented.
Mount a boat compass away from iron, magnets, and electrical wiring and equipment.

Correct Answer: 8 min
Explanation:
The light from the sun takes about 8 minutes to reach the Earth after it has been emitted from the sun's surface.
The time it takes for light to reach planets in our Solar System varies from about 3 minutes for Mercury to about 5.3 hours for Pluto.
Correct Answer: Red
Explanation:
The visible colors from Longest wavelength to Shortest wavelength are :: Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue and Violet.
Red > Orange > Yellow > Green > Blue > Violet.
1. Infrared radiation has a longer wavelength than visible Red light.
2. Ultraviolet radiation has a shorter wavelength than the visible violet light.
3. The white light is a mixture of the colors of the visible spectrum.
Correct Answer: its freezing point is very low
Explanation:
Alcohol has a freezing point as low as . So it won't freeze even in very cold countries.
Correct Answer: Energy
Explanation:
The kilowatt hour (kW?h) is a composite unit of energy equivalent to one kilowatt (1 kW) of power sustained for one hour.
One watt is equal to 1 J/s. One kilowatt hour is 3.6 megajoules.
Correct Answer: Sphere
Explanation:
Time does not depend on mass, else
=> is least for 'sphere' and
hence least time is taken by sphere.
Correct Answer: Thunder
Explanation:
The Sound Following the flash of lighting is because of Thunder.
Lightning is seen earlier than thunder because light travels much faster than sound.
The roar of thunder is the result of a shock wave produced when lightning super-heats the air through which it passes, causing that air to expand very rapidly. This rapid expansion of air creates a shock wave that travels outward at close to the speed of sound.
Correct Answer: remain the same
Explanation:
The submerged portion of the ice on melting shrinks a little in volume. so the level of water goes down a little.But this is just made up by the water added by the melting of upper portion. Addition is equal to the Shrinkage. Hence level is unchanged.
Correct Answer: inertia
Explanation:
Flows out of Newton's first law of motion.
Correct Answer: Planetary Motion
Explanation:
Kepler's laws of planetary motion are three scientific laws describing the motion of planets around the Sun.
(1) All planets move about the Sun in elliptical orbits, having the Sun as one of the foci.
(2) A radius vector joining any planet to the Sun sweeps out equal areas in equal lengths of time.
(3) The squares of the sidereal periods (of revolution) of the planets are directly proportional to the cubes of their mean distances from the Sun.
Correct Answer: intensity of sound
