Which unit measures the loudness or intensity of sound?

  • AHertz
  • BDecibel
  • CJoule
  • DNewton
Permalink
Correct Answer: Option B — Decibel
Explanation: Decibel is the unit used to measure sound intensity or loudness with normal conversation at about 60 dB and sounds above 85 dB potentially damaging hearing over time.

Which planet in the solar system rotates on its side with an axial tilt of about 98 degrees?

  • AUranus
  • BNeptune
  • CSaturn
  • DJupiter
Permalink
Correct Answer: Option A — Uranus
Explanation: Uranus has an extreme axial tilt of about 98 degrees meaning it essentially rotates on its side likely caused by a massive collision during the early solar system.

408

Which common household item works based on the principle of Pascal's law?

  • AKnife
  • BThermometer
  • CHydraulic jack
  • DBarometer
Permalink
Correct Answer: Option C — Hydraulic jack

  • AOxygen
  • BCarbon dioxide
  • CHydrogen
  • DNitrogen
Permalink
Correct Answer: Option C — Hydrogen
Explanation: When zinc reacts with dilute hydrochloric acid hydrogen gas is produced along with zinc chloride and this reaction is a standard laboratory method to generate hydrogen.

Which everyday observation shows that hot air rises and cool air sinks creating circulation?

  • ABoiling water forming convection currents
  • BIce melting in sunlight
  • CMetal expanding when heated
  • DSound echoing in a hall
Permalink
Correct Answer: Option A — Boiling water forming convection currents
Explanation: Boiling water shows convection currents as hot less-dense water rises to the surface while cooler denser water sinks demonstrating natural thermal circulation.
