A body falling freely under the action of gravity has

  • Q. A body falling freely under the action of gravity has
  • filter_dramaExplanation
    Answer is : A

    The correct answer is No weight.

    Explanation:

    • Gravity is a force that attracts a body toward the centre of the earth or any other mass-bearing physical body.

    F = mg
    where F is force, 
    m is mass, and 
    g is acceleration due to gravity.

    • The weight of an object is the force that attracts it to the earth.
    • A body that is free to fall under the influence of gravity is acted upon by the force of gravity.
    • However, the object is not exerting any force on any surface. As a result, the weight of object is no weight (zero).

  • 1. The ‘wget’ command in Linux is used for ______.
  • filter_dramaExplanation
    Answer is : A

    The correct answer is option 1.

    Concept:

    Wget is a Linux command-line tool that allows us to download files from the internet. Using HTTP, HTTPS, and FTP protocols, we can download files from web servers. Wget is a command that can be used in scripts and cronjobs.

    Wget is a non-interactive program that does not require user interaction. One of the useful features of the wget command is that it allows us to download a whole webpage from the internet.

    It has the following functions:

    • It supports downloading multiple files
    • Downloading files in the background
    • Resuming previously paused downloads
    • Limiting the bandwidth used for downloads
    • Viewing headers.

    Hence the correct answer is downloading files from the web.

    Answer is : D
    • Structured programming is a programming paradigm aimed at improving the clarity, quality, and development time of a computer program by making extensive use of the structured control flow constructs of selection (if/then/else) and repetition (while, do-while and for), block structures, and subroutines
    • C is a structural programming language.


    Example of C using loop, do-while and goto statement

    goto hello;

  • 3. Blood plasma has a pH of _______.
  • filter_dramaExplanation
    Answer is : A

    The correct answer is 7.4.

    • Blood consists of four things.
    • The first is red blood cell i.e. red blood corpuscle.

    Key Points

    • The second is white blood cell i.e. white blood corpuscle.
    • The third is platelets and the fourth is plasma.
    • Human blood plasma has a pH range of 7.35 - 7.45  which makes blood slightly basic or alkaline.
    • About 55 percent of the total blood of the body is plasma.
    • This plasma also contains about 92 percent water.
    • About 7 percent of the vitamins are protein and one percent of the total contains minerals, salt, sugar, fat, hormones, and vitamins.

  • 5. A pendulum is placed in a satellite that orbits the Earth at a height of 900 km. The time period of this pendulum is
  • filter_dramaExplanation
    Answer is : D

    The correct answer is option 4) i.e. ∞

    CONCEPT:

    • The time period of a pendulum is given by the equation:

    \(\Rightarrow T = 2\pi\sqrt{\frac {L}{g}}\)

    Where L is the length of the string of pendulum and g is the acceleration due to gravity.

    EXPLANATION:

    • At a height of 900 km from the earth's surface gravity is absent.

    Therefore, g = 0.

    Substituting g = 0,

    \(\Rightarrow T = 2\pi\sqrt{\frac {L}{0}} = ∞\)

    Thus, the time period of the pendulum at a distance of 900 km from the Earth will be infinite.
