Explanation: 4

A voltmeter is a device used to measure the potential difference "Between Two

Points". In order to measure the potential between two points, we have NO WAY
around except to connect it in Parallel.

A voltmeter is a device of having high resistance. So, if we connect it in Series, it

would hinder the current flow in the circuit hence Open Circuit results. That's why
we do not connect it in Series.

14. What is the most common reinforcement for polymer composites?

A. Boron B. Ceramic C. Graphite D. Glass Fiber

Explanation:

Glass fibers reinforced polymer composites have been prepared by various

manufacturing technology and are widely used for various applications. Nowadays, it
has been used in electronics, aviation and automobile application etc. Glass fibers are
having excellent properties like high strength, flexibility, stiffness and resistance to
chemical harm.

15. A process in pressure is constant?

A. Isobaric B, Isochoric C. Isometric D. Isothermal

Explanation:

An isobaric process is a thermodynamic process in which

the pressure remains constant. This is usually obtained by allowing the volume to
expand or contract in such a way to neutralize any pressure changes that would be
caused by heat transfer.

5. The external pressure applied to a confined fluid increases the pressure of
point in the fluid by an amount equal to the external pressure. This is known as
every
A. Pascal's principle C. Torricelli's Theorem
B. Archimedes principle D. Bernoulli's Theorem

Explanation:

Pascal's principle, also called Pascal's law, in fluid (gas or liquid)

mechanics, statement that, in a fluid at rest in a closed container,
a pressure change in one part is transmitted without loss to every portion of the
fluid and to the walls of the container. The principle was first enunciated by the
French scientist Blaise Pascal.
Archimedes' principle states that the upward buoyant force that is exerted
on a body immersed in a fluid, whether fully or partially submerged, is equal to
the weight of the fluid that the body displaces and acts in the upward direction at
the center of mass of the displaced fluid.
Torricelli's law, also known as Torricelli's theorem, is a theorem in fluid
dynamics relating the speed of fluid flowing out of an orifice to the height of fluid
above the opening.
Bernoulli, the theorem states, in effect, that the total mechanical
energy of the flowing fluid, comprising the energy associated with fluid pressure,
the gravitational potential energy of elevation, and the kinetic energy of fluid
motion, remains constant.

82. A fluid property which refers to the intermolecular attraction by which the separate
particles of the fluid are held together:
A. cohesion B. adhesion C. capillarity D. tension

Explanation:
The force of cohesion is defined as the force of attraction between
molecules of the same substance.
The force of adhesion is defined as the force of attraction between different
substances, such as glass and water.
Capillary Action is due to both the cohesive forces between liquid
molecules and adhesive forces of liquid molecules.
Tension may be described as the pulling force transmitted axially by the
means of a string, cable, chain, or similar one-dimensional continuous object, or
by each end of a rod, truss member, or similar three-dimensional object

Explanation:

The hexagonal closest packed (hcp) has a coordination number of 12 and

contains 6 atoms per unit cell. The face-centered cubic (fcc) has a coordination
number of 12 and contains 4 atoms per unit cell. The body-centered cubic (bcc)
has a coordination number of 8 and contains 2 atoms per unit cell

two consecutive -297.4in phase on a wave called?
A. frequency C. amplitude
B. period D. wavelength

Explanation:

The wavelength in a longitudinal wave is the distance between two

consecutive
points that are in phase. The wavelength in a longitudinal wave refers to thedistance
between two consecutive compressions or between two consecutive rarefactions.
Amplitude. The amplitude is the maximum displacement from equilibrium.

97. Waves in a lake are 5.00 m in length and pass an anchored boat 1.25 s apart. The
speed of the wave is

A. 0.25 m/s B. 4.00 m/s C. 6.25 m/s D. 5.75 m/s

Solution:
