Correct Answer: newton second per square meter
Explanation:
coulomb is unit of Electric Charge,
watt per meter per degree celcius is unit of Thermal Conductivity,
joule per kilogram per Kelvin is unit of Specific Heat capacity.
Correct Answer: greater than the weight of the man
Explanation:
The weight of the man mg is acting on the floor. As the lift is moving up with an acceleration, say a, the man too in it is having this acceleration. The force producing this acceleration is ma. By Newton's third law, this force will have an equal reaction pressing the floor equal to ma. Therefore the total resultant reaction on the floor is mg+ma = m(g+a) which is mg, the weight of the man. So (a) is correct.
Correct Answer: magnetic flux
Correct Answer: a parabola
Explanation:
Parabola, because when the coin is dropped at a particular point, it has the same velocity as the running train. So by Newton's first law, it continues its motion horizontally with that velocity. But then, it is also pulled down by earth's gravity continuously. In this situation its horizontal motion gives way to the parabolic motion until it reaches the ground.
Correct Answer: Scattering of the sunlight by water molecules
Explanation:
Sea appears blue in colour due to the scattering of the rays when they hit water molecules
Correct Answer: 11.2 km/sec
Explanation:
This 11.2 km/s is also known as the escape velocity. It works out to roughly 25000miles per hour
Correct Answer: the opposite direction of the motion
Explanation:
It is to overcome this opposite frictional force , that we have to apply the needed force to make the body move
Correct Answer: the forces of cohesion are very large
Explanation:
Cohesion refers to attraction between molecules of the same kind while adhesion refers to attraction between different kinds of molecules
Correct Answer: decreasing the radius of the capillary tube
Explanation:
The water rise in a capillary tube dipped in water is such that the weight of water in the tube above the surface of water in the vessel is equal to the upward force due to surface tension. So it is clear that if the bore to the tube is decreased , the height of the water column in it must be greater.
Correct Answer: Bernoulli's principle
Explanation:
The rapid flow of air between the two moving ships causes a reducton of pressure (Bernoulli's principle) , so they (the ships) are drawn closer together
