In order to escape the gravity of the Earth, a spaceship must reach a velocity of:

  1. 550 m/s

  2. 5.5 km/s

  3. 11 km/s

  4. 110 km/s


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

To solve this question, the user needs to know about the escape velocity of an object. Escape velocity is the minimum speed required for an object to overcome the gravitational pull of a celestial body and escape into space.

Now, let's go through each option and explain why it is right or wrong:

A. 550 m/s: This option is not correct. This velocity is too low for an object to escape Earth's gravitational pull. It is not sufficient to overcome the gravitational attraction of the Earth.

B. 5.5 km/s: This option is not correct. Although this velocity is faster than option A, it is still too low for an object to escape Earth's gravity. It is only the speed required to reach low Earth orbit.

C. 11 km/s: This option is correct. This is the minimum speed required for an object to escape Earth's gravitational pull. When an object reaches this velocity, it has enough kinetic energy to break free of the Earth's gravity.

D. 110 km/s: This option is not correct. This velocity is much higher than the escape velocity required to escape Earth's gravity. It is not necessary to reach such a high velocity to escape Earth's gravity.

Therefore, The Answer is: C

What is the Speed of light?

  1. 300,000 Mt/Sec

  2. 30000 Km/Sec

  3. 300,000 Km/Sec

  4. None of above


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

To solve this question, the user needs to know the definition of the speed of light.

The speed of light is defined as the distance light travels in a vacuum per unit of time.

Now, let's go through each option and explain why it is right or wrong:

A. 300,000 Mt/Sec: This option is incorrect because "Mt" is not a standard unit of measurement for speed. Also, the correct value of the speed of light is 299,792.458 km/s, which is not equal to 300,000 Mt/Sec.

B. 30000 Km/Sec: This option is incorrect because the actual value of the speed of light is much greater than 30,000 km/s. The correct value is around 299,792.458 km/s.

C. 300,000 Km/Sec: This option is correct. The speed of light in a vacuum is approximately 299,792.458 km/s, which is rounded up to 300,000 km/s for convenience.

D. None of the above: This option is incorrect because Option C is the correct answer.

Therefore, the Answer is: C. 300,000 Km/Sec

Voice travels faster in rainy season.

  1. True

  2. False


Correct Option: A

AI Explanation

To answer this question, we need to understand the concept of how sound travels through different mediums.

In general, sound travels faster in solids and liquids compared to gases. This is because the particles in solids and liquids are closer together, allowing sound waves to propagate more easily.

During the rainy season, the air is often more humid. Humidity refers to the amount of water vapor present in the air. When the air is humid, it contains more water molecules, which can act as additional particles for sound waves to travel through. This can increase the speed of sound in the air, making it travel faster during the rainy season.

Therefore, the statement "Voice travels faster in the rainy season" is true. Option A is correct.

Roads should not be tilted towards center on turns.

  1. True

  2. False


Correct Option: B
