Wearing helmet is the precautionary measures to avoid electric shock.

  1. True

  2. False
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

Electricity is a produced by the continuous flow of charge. It requires medium to flow from one body to another. The substance through which it can pass are known as conductors and the substance through which it cannot pass are known as insulators. Water is good conductor while wood is a bad conductor of electricity. Wearing helmet is not precautionary measures to avoid electric shock as the helmet is made up of metal which is a good conductor of electricity.

Multiple choice physics energy production hazards and safety measures of radiations harmful effects and safety precautions for radiations nuclear physics

Which of the following is followed while handling the radioactive materials?

  1. Wearing protective clothing.

  2. Keeping as far away as is practicable - for example, by using tongskeeping

  3. Keeping radioactive materials in lead-lined containers,

  4. All of the above.
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

D

While handling with radioactive materials we must wear protective clothing and keep it as far as possible. The radioactive materials must be in a lead lined contained because the gamma rays emitting from the radioactive material can be prevented using lead lined materials only.

Multiple choice physics friction advantages and disadvantages of friction merits and demerits of friction and methods to reduce it friction: a necessary evil

In what ways is friction harmful?

  1. It causes wear and tear to the surfaces.

  2. Much energy is lost in overcoming friction.

  3. Both A and B

  4. None of these
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

Friction comes into play when two irregular surfaces come in contact. The continuous rubbing of these surfaces together causes it to gradually wear out. Also, much of the applied force or energy is wasted in overcoming the force of friction. Hence, it is considered as evil, but it is necessary too.

Multiple choice physics force and newton's laws of motion inertia and mass concept of inertia galileo's law and inertia

Which of the following safety features are used in vehicles to reduce the negative effects of inertia?

(i)Safety seat belts(ii)Automatic air bags(iii)Absorber bumpers

  1. Only (i) and (ii)

  2. Only (ii) and (iii)

  3. Only (i) and (iii)

  4. (i), (ii) and (iii)
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

$Force=mass*\dfrac{momentum}{time}$

since the effect of inertia depend on force if the time of impact is increased and hence the same force will produce less effect of inertia the safety seat belt,automatic air bag,Absorber bumpers produce the same effect to decrease the negative effect of inertia.

Multiple choice geography traffic education traffic and road safety natural hazards : understanding of disaster, management in practice man-made disasters

The structural measures of mitigation includes ______________.

  1. Designing electrical power systems to withstand weather and earthquake

  2. Enforcing strict building codes

  3. Seismic resistant designs of buildings

  4. Retrofitting public buildings to withstand

  5. All of these
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
E Correct answer
Explanation

A sudden accident or a natural catastrophe that causes great damage or loss of life and property is called a disaster. It can be natural like earth quakes, tsunami, floods etc and artificial disasters like terrorist attack etc. Structural measures are any physical construction to reduce or avoid possible impacts of hazards by the application of engineering techniques or technology. For example construction of dams and embankments to control floods, designing electrical power systems to withstand weather and earthquake, enforcing strict building codes to maintain minimum loss in case of collapse during earthquake, seismic resistant designs of buildings, retrofitting public buildings to withstand which is renovation to resist disaster etc.

E Correct answer
Explanation

A sudden accident or a natural catastrophe that causes great damage or loss of life and property is called a disaster. It can be natural like earth quakes, tsunami, floods etc and artificial disasters like terrorist attack etc. The impact of disaster depends on the precautions we take to save our lives and our environment. The important aspects of disaster risk reduction are mitigation which is to reduce the effect of disaster for example, construction of wooden houses instead of concrete in disaster prone countries like Japan, early warning system establishment, disaster preparedness and recovery by providing proper health and rehabilitation facilities.

Early warning system depends upon _____.

  1. Observation and recordings

  2. Risk knowledge and recognition

  3. Warning and dissemination

  4. Appropriate response

  5. All of these
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
E Correct answer
Explanation

A sudden accident or a natural catastrophe that causes great damage or loss of life and property is called a disaster. It can be natural like earth quakes, tsunami, floods etc and artificial disasters like terrorist attack etc. The impact of disaster depends on the precautions we take to save our lives and our environment. One such precaution is early warning system. It provides information regarding disaster before hand and provides ample time to move people from disaster prone areas to safety. Without early warning system the training and evacuation methods can be irrelevant. Early warning system depends on observation and recordings, risk knowledge and recognition, warning and dissemination like spreading news, appropriate response.
