9. Pyrometer can’t measure the temperature below .....................

A. [latex]{800}^{0}[/latex]C B. [latex]{500}^{0}[/latex]C C. [latex]{1000}^{0}[/latex]C D. [latex]{750}^{0}[/latex]C

Answer: Option A
Explanation:
Pyrometer measure the temperature of a body by measuring the radiation emitted by the body. It can’t measure the temperature below [latex]{800}^{0}[/latex]C.
10. The freezing point of Mercury is...............................

A. [latex]{-210}^{0}[/latex]C B. [latex]{-390}^{0}[/latex]C C. [latex]{-190}^{0}[/latex]C D. [latex]{390}^{0}[/latex]C

Answer: Option B
Explanation:
The freezing point of Mercury is 390C.To measure thetemperature below -390C alcohol thermometer is used. The freezing point of alcohol is [latex]{-114}^{0}[/latex]C
11. All planets move around the sun in elliptical orbits having the sun at one foci of the orbit is called _____

A. Doppler’s effect B. Pascal’s law C. Kepler’s law D. Hooke’s law

Answer: Option C
Explanation:
All planets move around the sun in elliptical orbits having the sun at one foci of the orbit is called – Kepler’s law
12. The earth rotates on its axis from .......................

A. North to South B. West to east C. East to west D. South to North

Answer: Option B
Explanation:
The earth rotates on its axis from west to east. This rotation makes the sun and the stars appear to be moving across from East to West.
13. Escape velocity is .............. times the orbital velocity

A. 2 B. [latex]\sqrt{3}[/latex] C. 1 D. [latex]\sqrt{2}[/latex]

Answer: Option D
Explanation:
Escape velocity is Escape velocity is.[latex]/sqrt{2}[/latex] times the orbital velocity times the orbital velocity.Escape velocity is the minimum speed needed for an object to “break free” from the gravitational attraction of a massive body. The escape velocity from Earth is about 40,270 km/h
14. If the strain is longitudinal then the modulus of elasticity is called,...............................

A. Bulk Modulus B. Modulus of Rigidity C. Young’s modulus D. Density

Answer: Option C
Explanation:
Young’s modulus, which is also known as the elastic modulus is a mechanical property of linear elastic solid materials. It defines the relationship between stress (force per unit area) and strain (proportional deformation) in a material.
15. The amount of heat given to the system is used up in 2 ways are..............................

A. The second law of Thermodynamics B. Zeroth law of Thermodynamics C. Third law of Thermodynamics D. First law of Thermodynamics

Answer: Option B
Explanation:
First law of Thermodynamics – the amount of heat given to the system is used up in 2 ways, first to increase the internal energy and second to do the external work
16. Mercury has ....................... Specific heat

A. Low B. High C. Variable D. Constant

Answer: Option A
Explanation:
Mercury has low Specific heat. The specific heat is the amount of heat per unit mass required to raise the temperature by one degree Celsius.

A. Second law of Thermodynamics B. Zeroth law of Thermodynamics C. Third law of Thermodynamics D. First law of Thermodynamics

Answer: Option A
Explanation:
The Second Law of Thermodynamics is the outcome of human experience under which heat energy can be converted into mechanical energy
18. Linear expansion mean ..................

A. Expansion in Volume B. Expansion in Area C. Expansion in length D. Expansion in Width

Answer: Option C
Explanation:
Linear expansion means change in one dimension (length) as opposed to change in volume (volumetric expansion).
19. Expansion in area is called .....................

A. Cubical Expansion B. Linear Expansion C. Superficial Expansion D. Artificial Expansion

Answer: Option C
Explanation:
Expansion in area is called Superficial Expansion The area thermal expansion coefficient relates the change in a material’s area dimensions to a change in temperature.

A. 1 cubic meter B. 1 meter C. 1 centimeter D. 1 millimeter

Answer: Option A
Explanation:
The volume of a material changes by some fixed fractional amount. For example, a steel block with a volume of 1 cubic meter might expand to 1.002 cubic meters when the temperature is raised by 50 K.
