Which law explains why a rocket moves forward by expelling gas backward?

  • A Law of Conservation of Energy
  • B Newton's Third Law
  • C Ohm's Law
  • D Law of Gravitation
Permalink
Correct Answer: Option B — Newton's Third Law
Explanation: Newton's Third Law explains rocket propulsion: as the rocket expels gas backward with force, the gas exerts an equal and opposite force pushing the rocket forward. This action-reaction pair enables rockets to accelerate even in the vacuum of space.

Which law states that pressure and volume of a gas are inversely proportional at constant temperature?

  • A Gay-Lussac's Law
  • B Charles's Law
  • C Avogadro's Law
  • D Boyle's Law
Permalink
Correct Answer: Option D — Boyle's Law

An n-type semiconductor has an excess of:

  • A Protons
  • B Holes
  • C Electrons
  • D Neutrons
Permalink
Correct Answer: Option C — Electrons
Explanation: An n-type semiconductor is created by doping a pure semiconductor with donor impurities that contribute extra free electrons, resulting in a material where electrons are the majority charge carriers.

What is the term for the resistance of a fluid to flow due to internal friction?

  • A Density
  • B Buoyancy
  • C Viscosity
  • D Surface tension
Permalink
Correct Answer: Option C — Viscosity
Explanation: Viscosity describes a fluid's internal resistance to flow, caused by friction between its molecules. Highly viscous fluids like honey flow slowly, while low-viscosity fluids like water flow more freely and quickly under gravity.

Which material is generally used as an insulator?

  • A Copper
  • B Aluminum
  • C Silver
  • D Rubber
Permalink
Correct Answer: Option D — Rubber
Explanation: Rubber is commonly used as an electrical insulator because it has very high resistance to the flow of electric current, effectively preventing unwanted current leakage or short circuits in wiring.

What is the process by which a liquid changes into vapor below its boiling point called?

  • A Evaporation
  • B Condensation
  • C Boiling
  • D Sublimation
Permalink
Correct Answer: Option A — Evaporation
Explanation: Evaporation is the process by which molecules at the surface of a liquid gain enough energy to escape into the gaseous state, occurring at temperatures below the boiling point. It depends on factors like temperature, surface area, and humidity.

Surface tension is caused by:

  • A Cohesive forces between liquid molecules
  • B Adhesive forces with air
  • C Gravitational force
  • D Atmospheric pressure
Permalink
Correct Answer: Option A — Cohesive forces between liquid molecules
Explanation: Surface tension arises from the cohesive forces between molecules at the surface of a liquid, which pull inward and cause the surface to behave like a stretched elastic membrane minimizing its area.

  • A Melting
  • B Evaporation
  • C Sublimation
  • D Condensation
Permalink
Correct Answer: Option C — Sublimation

Which type of mirror always produces a smaller, upright image regardless of object distance?

  • A Concave mirror
  • B Plane mirror
  • C Convex mirror
  • D Cylindrical mirror
Permalink
Correct Answer: Option C — Convex mirror
Explanation: Convex mirrors always produce a virtual, upright, and diminished image regardless of the object's distance, because their outward curved surface diverges reflected light rays. They are commonly used as side mirrors in vehicles for wider viewing angles.

The gravitational force between two objects increases when:

  • A Distance between them increases
  • B Distance between them decreases
  • C Mass of both objects decreases
  • D Distance and mass both decrease
Permalink
Correct Answer: Option B — Distance between them decreases
Explanation: According to Newton's law of gravitation, gravitational force is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between two objects, so as the distance decreases, the force of attraction between them increases.
