A motor boy of a driver saw what seems to appear to be a pool of water a head of him, while his driver drives a new truck on a sunny day. Which of the following explains his observation?

A.

He saw a flying objects

B.

He must be thinking of water and food

C.

He was seeing the shadow of the car

D.

The sun ray from the sky were passing from a hot air (layer) to cold layer

Correct answer is D

The appearance of pool of water on road surfaces is called MIRAGE

His observation show that light from the sun ray refracted through a layer of hot air(layer) which is closed to the ground, passes from a hot air layer to the cold layer

The general gas law can be written as

A.

PV ÷ T = a constant

B.

PV = a constant

C.

v/t = a constant

D.

p/T = a constant

Correct answer is A

Formula for general gas law

V × 1/T × P

N [(PV) ÷ T] = K is constant

Body floats in fluid when its …………………

A.

Displaces its own volume of the liquid (fluid)

B.

Displaces its own weight of the fluid

C.

Displace its own density of the fluid

D.

Is no longer subjected to gravity

Correct answer is B

Note:The principle of floatation states that a floating body displaces its own weight of the fluid or which its float.

For object to sink weight of the object (W) > upthrust of the fluid (v) i.e. w > u

(i.e. weight of the body (or object) mass of the fluid)

II only

D.

III only

Correct answer is B

In an inelastic collision, linear momentum is conserved and energy is decreased

Momentum and kinetic energy are conserved in elastic collision
