Multiple choice physics sources of energy biomass and biogas biogas conventional sources of energy

Fuel obtained from biomass are:

  1. Charcoal (from wood).

  2. Bio-gas from animal waste (cow-dung etc).

  3. Bio-diesel (from sugar cane and oilseed crops).

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

Biomass is a organic fuel.Charcoal is obtained from burning of the wood. Biogas is obtained from organic wastes such as animal excreta, agricultural waste etc, Bio-diesel can be obtained from oil seed crops such as Jatropa.

Multiple choice physics sources of energy biomass and biogas biogas conventional sources of energy

A Correct answer
Explanation

Temperature inside the biogas increases tremendously during the anaerobic fermentation process. Out of the given options, brick is the suitable material to be used for the making of the biogas plants to withstand high temperatures.

Multiple choice physics sources of energy biomass and biogas biogas conventional sources of energy
Choose the correct statement(s):
(1) Sewage can be used with gobar and agricultural waste to produce bio gas in biogas plant.
(2) The largest composition in biofuel is of methane. 

  1. (1) only

  2. (2) only

  3. Both (1) and (2)

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

Organic material is used as a substrate for the production of a biogas. Organic matters encompasses sewage, kitchen waste, animal and human excreta, etc.

Biofuel produced from biomass consists of methane, hydrogen, nitrogen etc. Largest component is of methane (50%-75%).

Wind with a velocity $72 km/hr$ blows normally against one of the walls of a house with an area of $100 m$ (density of air is $1.2 kgm^{-2}$)

  1. Force exerted on the wall if the air moves parallel to wall after striking is $48000 N$

  2. Force exerted on the wall if the air moves normal to the wall after striking is $96000 N$

  3. Force exerted on the wall is maximum if air moves parallel to the wall after striking

  4. Force exerted on the wall is maximum if air moves at certain angle with wall after striking

Which of the following is not a high wind-energy region of India?

  1. Bay of Bengal

  2. Gujarat

  3. The Arabian sea Islands

  4. Punjab
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

Coastal regions like Gujarat, the Arabian Sea islands, and the Bay of Bengal have high wind potential due to consistent sea breezes. Punjab is an inland state and is not considered a high wind-energy region in India.
