(A) 2 minutes

(B) 1 minute

(C) 4 minutes

(D) 3 minutes

Correct Answer : A
Explanation :

As a result, the Sun appears to be raised above the horizon and we are able to see the Sun 2 minutes before the actual sunrise.

Q :  

Which physical quantity is obtained from the ratio of momentum and velocity of matter?

(A) Velocity

(B) mass

(C) Angular velocity

(D) Acceleration

Correct Answer : B
Explanation :

The correct answer is Mass. Mass is a quantitative measure of inertia, a fundamental property of all matter. It is the resistance that a body of matter offers to a change in its speed or position upon the application of a force. Mass is represented by the ratio of momentum and velocity of the body.


Q :  

What is the force due to which the body is pulled towards the center of the earth?

(A) mass

(B) impulsive force

(C) Gravity

(B) mass

(C) Work

(D) distance

Correct Answer : D
Explanation :

Light-year is the unit of length to measure large distances (astronomical distances).

The total distance travelled by light in 1 year is called 1 light year.

1 light-year = 9.46 × 1012 km.

Explanation for the incorrect options

The second (sec) is the unit of time.

A kg is the unit of mass.

Therefore, the Light year is the unit of distance. So, option (D) is correct.


Q :

(A) Proton

(B) Newton

(C) Electron

(D) Photon

Correct Answer : B
Explanation :
