- Question
A balloon filled with hydrogen will
Options- A. continue going upwards uninterrupted
- B. reach a particular height and remain floating
- C. burst after reaching some height
- D. reach a particular height and start coming down
- Correct Answer
- reach a particular height and remain floating
ExplanationIt will stop at a height where the weight of the balloon with contents is equal to the weight of air displaced by it, i.e , when the upthrust is equal to the downthrust. The question of bursting will depend on how much difference of pressure inside and outside , the material of the balloon can withstand. It is assumed the balloon is filled with a lighter than air gas like hydrogen or helium.

Correct Answer: the centripetal force
Explanation:
without this centripetal force, circular motion is not possible. It acts radially towards the centre and if this force is removed there will be no circular motion but the revolving body will fly off at a tangent.
Correct Answer: it will continue to travel along a tangent to the circle at the point the ball was at the time of snapping and finally fall down
Explanation:
The centripetal force having been removed the body cannot execute the curved path
Correct Answer: at a higher alevation than the bird
Explanation:
The trajectory of the bullet is a parabola
Correct Answer: it is defined as the ratio of speed of light in vacuum to the speed of light in the medium .
Correct Answer: Variable in magnitude but constant in direction
Correct Answer: conduction, convection and radiation
Explanation:
Part of the heat is conducted away by the metal table. Convection currents in air near the surface of the coffee are set up which accounts for some heat loss. Heat is also lost by radiation from the hot coffee to the surroundings. Most of the heat is lost by the last method.
Correct Answer: the stone conveys the heat away from the feet more rapidly than the carpet
Explanation:
Both the floor and the carpet have the same temperature as both are exposed to the same atmosphere. But the former conducts away the heat from the feet better than the carpet as the latter is a non-conductor. So the feet losing more heat, the floor appears cooler to the feet.
Correct Answer: beats
Explanation:
Beats means the periodic increase and decrease in loudness heard when two notes of nearly the same frequency are sounded simultaneously.
Correct Answer: the angle of emergence is equal to the angle of incidence
Correct Answer: Both A & B
Explanation:
The capacity of a water heater is measured in Gallons or Liters. In the USA, it is measured in Gallons and in India, we measure it in Liters.
Hence, if the capacity of the water heater is 15 gallons or 15 liters, then it says that it can hold 15 gallons or 15 liters of water.
