Question 15. What cause a moving body to resist a change in its state of motion?
  1.    Displacement
  2.    Acceleration
  3.    Inertia
  4.    Velocity
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> Inertia
Inertia: tendency of an object to resist changes in its velocity. An object at rest has zero velocity - and (in the absence of an unbalanced force) will remain with a zero velocity. Such an object will not change its state of motion (i.e., velocity) unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.

  2.    Intensity of heat
  3.    Intensity of sound
  4.    Radio wave frequency
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> Intensity of sound

  2.    7800 - 8000 angstrom
  3.    3900 - 7600 angstrom
  4.    1300 - 3000 angstrom
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 3900 - 7600 angstrom
3900 - 7600 angstrom is the wavelength of visible spectrum.
Question 20. Which of the following has a least penetrating power?
  1.    All have same penetrating power
  2.    Beta Particles
  3.    Alpha particles
  4.    Gamma rays
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> Alpha particles
