• If a shell from a canon bursts in the air, the total kinetic energy –increase
• The pitch of sound is measured by its –frequency
• Alternating current is converted to direct current by a –rectifier


• When iron and wood are exposed to sunlight, the iron rod become hot quickly because of –the greater thermal conductivity of iron
• In diesel engines, ignition takes place by –Compression
• Cloudy nights are warmer because –Clouds prevent radiation of heat from the ground into the air

• A piece of rock was brought from moon to earth, then –Its weight alone changed
• Which of the following is not a primary colour –Black
• Which falls down faster in a vacuum –All with fall down at same speed in a vacuum because there will be no air resistance.
• Atmospheric pressure is measured by using an instrument call a/an –barometer
