On a rough horizontal floor, a block is moving
with uniform velocity on applying a force of 10
N horizontally. The frictional force acting on the
block is ?

12. ANSWER
10 N
As the block moves in uniform velocity, the acceleration is 0
so F-f = ma
since a=0
Therefor the frictional force acting on it will be
F= f which is equal to 10N

sweet, and each consecutive person took more
sweets than the person before, until the jar was
empty.

people take 55 sweets between them. The 11th person has
to be content with a mere 5 sweets, making 11 people in
total

By closing the eyes and gently pressing
them by our palms, some specks of
brilliant light are seen. How this sensation
is got when there is no light entering the
eyes?

33. ANSWER
The pressure on the eye causes activation of retinal
ganglion cells and their depolarisation. This results in
“phosphene light”. These are the result of biophoton
emission of cells in various parts of the visual system.

34. 5.
At what temperature does the Celsius and
the Fahrenheit scale read the same ?

35. ANSWER
The formulas for converting between degree Celsius and degree Fahrenheit are:
°F = (°C * 9/5) + 32
°C = (°F - 32) * 5/9
To find the temperature when both are equal, we use an old algebra trick and just set ºF = ºC and
solve one of the equations.
°C = (°C * 9/5) + 32
°C - (°C * 9/5) = 32
-4/5 * °C = 32
°C = -32 * 5/4
°C = -40
°F = (°F * 9/5) + 32
°F - (°F * 9/5) = 32
-4/5 * °F = 32
°F = -32 * 5/4
°F = -40
So the temperature when both the Celsius and Fahrenheit scales are the same is -40 degrees.

36. 6.
Uro-hydrosis is a cooling mechanism. Several species of
storks and NewWorld vultures exhibit this behaviour. The
