B Correct answer
Explanation

Activities like walking, climbing, pulling, pushing etc need Muscular energy.
Muscular energy is the conscious movement of energy along the lines of the body, drawing muscle to bone and connecting limbs to joints as the energy moves ever inward to the body's core.

 Sum of potential energy and kinetic energy is called ______________.

  1. mechanical energy

  2. muscular energy

  3. solar energy

  4. wind energy
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

Sum of potential energy and kinetic energy is called Mechanical energy.
The mechanical energy of an object can be the result of its motion (i.e., kinetic energy) and/or the result of its stored energy of position (i.e., potential energy). The total amount of mechanical energy is merely the sum of the potential energy and the kinetic energy.

C Correct answer
Explanation

Bio-gas is obtained from the organic waste.
Organic wastes are often disposed of with other wastes in landfills or incinerators, but since they are biodegradable , some organic wastes are suitable for composting and land application. Organic materials found in municipal solid waste include food, paper, wood, sewage sludge , and yard waste .

Which of the following is not the non-conventional sources of energy in India?

  1. Solar Energy

  2. Geo-Thermal Energy

  3. Thermal Energy

  4. Tidal Power
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

Thermal energy is not the non-conventional source of energy in India.
Thermal energy comes from a substance whose molecules and atoms are vibrating faster due to a rise in temperature. Heat energy is another name for thermal energy. Kinetic energy is the energy of a moving object. As thermal energy comes from moving particles, it is a form of kinetic energy.

The gas produced by decaying agricultural waste, plant residues, animal dung etc. in the absence of air, is called _____________.

  1. carbon di oxide

  2. bio gas

  3. nitrogen

  4. ozone gas
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

The gas produced by decaying agricultural waste, plant residues, animal dung etc. in the absence of air, is called Biogas.

Biogas is the mixture of gases produced by the breakdown of organic matter in the absence of oxygen. Biogas can be produced from raw materials such as agricultural waste, manure, municipal waste, plant material, sewage, green waste or food waste. Biogas is a renewable energy source.

 The energy available from bio gas can be converted into  ______.

  1. heat

  2. light

  3. electricity

  4. sound
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

Theoretically, biogas can be converted directly into electricity by using a fuel cell. However, this process requires very clean gas and expensive fuel cells. In most cases, biogas is used as fuel for combustion engines, which convert it to mechanical energy, powering an electric generator to produce electricity.
