Solutions
S1.Ans. (a)
Sol. Supersonic describes things that can travel faster than the speed of sound. The speed of a body that has Mach number more than 1 is supersonic.
S2.Ans. (d)
Sol. Liquids expand for the same reason, but because the bonds between separate molecules are usually less tight they expand more than solids. This is the principle behind liquid-in-glass thermometers.
S3.Ans. (b)
Sol. Normal range of Haemoglobin in adult human male is 14-17 g/dl of blood.
S4.Ans. (b)
Sol. Protoplasm is the whole content of a cell enclosed within the cell membrane, including both the cytoplasm and nucleus.
S5.Ans. (d)
Sol. Ice is less dense in comparison to liquid water. Actually when water freezes, water (H2O) molecules form a crystalline structure by Hydrogen bonds. These bonds cause molecules to push apart lowering the density of water (H2O).
S6.Ans. (b)
Sol. The SI unit of acceleration is the metre per second squared (m s–2).
S7.Ans. (c)
Sol. Nuclear potential and chemical energies implies the stored form of energy. But electrical energy is not a form of stored energy.
S8.Ans. (c)
Sol. The flavour of apples is mainly due to the ethanol (C2H5OH).
S9.Ans. (c)
Sol. Whether an object will float or sink in a liquid, depends on difference in the densities of the object and liquid.
S10.Ans. (a)
Sol. The law is named after Amedeo Avogadro who, in 1811, hypothesized that two given samples of an ideal gas, of the same volume and at the same temperature and pressure, contain the same number of molecules.
