Answer Key :
S1. Ans.(b)
Sol.Impulse is defined as the integral of a force with respect to time. In other, words the change in momentum is called Impulse, so impulse dimension is equivalent to momentum.
S2. Ans.(b)
Sol. There are 7 basic Fundamental Units- mass(kilogram-kg), length(meter-m), time(second-s), temperature(Kelvin-K), amount of substance(mole- mol), electric current(ampere-A), luminous intensity(candela-cd).
S3. Ans.(b)
Sol.Dynamite is an explosive made of nitroglycerin, sorbents (such as powdered shells or clay) and stabilizers. It was invented by the Swedish chemist and engineer Alfred Nobel in Geesthacht, and patented in 1867. It rapidly gained wide-scale use as a safer alternative to black powder.
S4. Ans.(d)
Sol.In vacuum, both the bodies will reach the ground at the same time. This is because the only acceleration present is earth’s gravity, which points object in downwards direction.
S5. Ans.(a)
Sol.The centre of gravity of a sprinter during the race lies ahead of his feet.
S6. Ans.(b)
Sol.Newton's first law of motion, also known as the law of inertia, states that an object at rest will stay at rest and an object in motion will stay in motion with the same speed and direction unless acted upon by unbalanced force.
S7. Ans.(d)
Sol.A black board appears black because it absorbs all the colors of white light and reflects none.
S8. Ans.(c)
Sol.A stone is dropped from the roof of a house towards the ground. The kinetic energy of the stone will be maximum at just before it touches the ground.
S9. Ans.(a)
Sol.The Earth's atmosphere is an envelope of gas that surrounds the Earth and extends from the Earth's surface out thousands of kilometre. Air in atmosphere is held by earth due to gravity.
S10. Ans.(c)
Sol.There are three main types of galaxies: Elliptical, Spiral, and Irregular. The shape of our Milky way galaxy is spiral.
S11. Ans.(c)
Sol.At hill-stations, the air is generally thinner due to the altitude and the atmospheric pressure is also lower. Here, it requires less than 100 degree celsius temperature to reach the point where the vapor pressure of water reaches that of air. So, water boils below 100°C at hill stations.
S12. Ans.(b)
Sol. Current is not a vector instead of having both magnitude and a direction because a vector always obey the law of addition of vectors. Since current doesn't obey it and it follows algebraic addition, current is a scalar.
S13. Ans.(d)
Sol.Sound cannot travel through a vacuum.
S14. Ans.(d)
Sol.Optical fibre is used in Endoscopy.
S15. Ans.(d)
Sol.Bat use ultrasonic sound for communication and navigation.
