Questions Related to substances, objects and energy

Consider the following two statement 
A) Linear momentum of a system of particles is zero.
B) Kinetic energy of a system of particles is zero 

  1. A does not imply B and B does not imply A

  2. A Implies B but B does not imply A

  3. A does not imply B but B implies A

  4. A implies B and B implies A


Correct Option: A

The kinetic energy of an electron which is accelerated through a potential of $100$ volts is?

  1. $1.602\times 10^{-17}$ joules

  2. $418.6$ calories

  3. $1.16\times 10^4$ eV

  4. $6.626\times 10^{-34}$ watt-second


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

According to de Broglie equation,Wavelength associated with an electron through potential difference V is given as

$\lambda =\frac { 12.27 }{ \sqrt { V }  } A=\frac { 12.27 }{ \sqrt { 100 }  } A=\frac { 12.27 }{ 10 } A=1.227A$

When an object is made up of n number of particles we refer to it (object) as a system of Particles

  1. True

  2. False


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

According to definition of system of particles

"When a object is made up of more than 1 particle then we refer that object to be as a system of particles

Hydrogen fuel is used in:

  1. liquid-propellant rockets

  2. portable fuel cell applications

  3. cars

  4. all of above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Hydrogen fuel can provide motive power for liquid-propellant rockets, cars, boats and airplanes, portable fuel cell applications or stationary fuel cell applications, which can power an electric motor. The problems of using hydrogen fuel in cars arise from the fact that hydrogen is difficult to store in either a high pressure tank or a cryogenic tank.

We can save energy by :

  1. buying expensive cars

  2. using aeroplanes

  3. using CFL

  4. using ships


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Simple things like switching off fans and lights when not in use, using maximum daylight, walking instead of driving for short distances, using CFL instead of traditional bulbs, proper insulation for leakage of energy can go a long way in saving energy.


Hence the correct option is C.

What are the disadvantages of renewable energy?

  1. They are eco-friendly

  2. They cannot be used in war

  3. Proper equipment to convert those energy into useful form is not available easily

  4. They are non-renewable


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

There are many advantages of renewable energy but the only disadvantage is that proper equipment for their conversion are not easily available. Either they are very costly or not easily available.

  1. Less usage of automobile

  2. controlling population

  3. A,B

  4. Nne


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Less usage of automobiles and controlling population he following measures can help in controlling hydro carbon pollution
Hence option C is the correct answer.

Hydrogen is a cleaner fuel than $CNG.$ 

  1. True

  2. False


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Hydrogen gas is cleaner fuel than $CNG$ as $CNG$ contains hydrocarbons which in turn contains carbon and it is a form of pollutant present in $CNG.$  But hydrogen is waste-free. The fusion of hydrogen does not produce any waste and therefore it is cleaner than $CNG.$
