Multiple choice general knowledge science & technology
  1. if light falling on body could be reflected upto 85%

  2. if light falling on body could be reflected upto 100%

  3. if someone travels with a speed of superjet

  4. its impossible

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

For an object to be invisible, it would need to reflect nearly 100% of light falling on it (or absorb and re-emit it perfectly), making it undetectable to the human eye. 85% reflection is insufficient, and traveling at high speed doesn't make things invisible.

Multiple choice general knowledge science & technology
  1. capilary rise

  2. reverse osmosis

  3. cetrifugal force

  4. lunar attraction

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

Capillary action allows water to rise against gravity through narrow spaces. This explains how water can emerge from mountain tops even when the groundwater level is below - it moves upward through porous rock and soil via capillary rise.

  2. simple henery's magnet

  3. simple harmonic motion

  4. simple hinge motion

C Correct answer
Explanation

SHM stands for Simple Harmonic Motion, a type of periodic motion where the restoring force is directly proportional to the displacement. The other options are made up phrases.

Multiple choice general knowledge science & technology
  1. centripetal force

  2. centrifugal force

  3. horizontal factor

  4. tangential factor

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

When a vehicle turns at high speed, the centrifugal force (the apparent outward force in a rotating reference frame) is responsible for accidents or skidding. Centripetal force is the inward force that keeps the vehicle on the curved path.

Multiple choice general knowledge science & technology
  1. body dissappears

  2. body can control time constraint

  3. body simply lost its mass

  4. body converts into gas

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

According to relativity, as an object approaches the speed of light, time dilation occurs - time passes slower for the moving object relative to a stationary observer. The phrasing 'control time constraint' is awkward but refers to this relativistic time effect. Objects don't disappear or lose mass simply by moving at light speed.
