Q is the first par as it talks about the people on the ship that has been mentioned in the fixed part. These people experience the movement of the ocean. P must follow next as it states why do the people feel the movement: because the water rushes into the North Pacific.

And could not have continued a cultured existence for thousands of years.D. No error |
|
Answer» Correct option A. Explanation: The error lies in the first part of the sentence. The part does not use a uniform voice, as in, one part is in the passive voice (to be scrapped), while the other is in the active voice. This creates a discrepancy in the usage of tense in the first part (the latter parts talk about the past). Hence, “must be scrapped” should be replaced by “must have been scrapped” to make the sentence grammatically correct. |

Which one of the following statements about a satellite orbiting around the Earth is correct A. Satellite is kept in orbit by remote control from ground station. B. Satellite is kept in orbit by retro-rocket and solar energy keeps it moving around the Earth.C. Satellite reqmres energy from solar panels and solid fuels for orbiting. D. Satellite does not require any energy for orbiting. |
|
Answer» Correct option (d) Satellite does not require any energy for orbiting. Explanation: A satellite rotates around the earth by using earth's gravitational force as centripetal force. Also as there is no air in space, it does not have to work against air resistance. Hence it doesn't lose any energy while rotating. So it does not require fuel/energ to rotate around the earth. |

In a vacuum, a five-rupee coin, a feather of a sparrow bird and a mango are dropped simultaneously from the same height. The time taken by them to reach the bottom is t1, t2 and t3 respectively. In this situation, we will observe that A. t1 > t2 > t3 B. t1 > t3 > t2 C. t3 > t1 > t2 D. t1 = t2 = t3 |
|
Answer» Correct option (d) t1 = t2 = t2 Explanation: If the objects are dropped from the same height, they will reach the bottom simultaneously. Gravitational force is independent of the mass of the body. The acceleration due to gravity is same for all the objects. Also, there is no resistance offered by the air or any upward force, since the objects are dropped in vacuum. Therefore, t1 = t2 = t3 |
