Explanation:

• When the body is completely immersed in the liquid: This is when the maximum apparent loss in weight of the body will be observed. When the body is completely immersed in the liquid, the weight of the displaced liquid is equal to the weight of the body. This results in the maximum apparent loss in weight.


• When the body just touches the surface of the liquid: At this point, the apparent loss in weight will not be at its maximum as the body has not displaced enough liquid to equal its weight.


• When the body is partially immersed and also touches the sides of the container: This scenario will not result in the maximum apparent loss in weight as the body is not completely submerged in the liquid.


• When the body is partially immersed in the liquid: Similar to when the body touches the sides of the container, this scenario will not result in the maximum apparent loss in weight as the body is not completely submerged in the liquid.

If we consider the situation when force is equivalent to the rate of change of momentum. I.e Force = (change in momentum)(time interval)
 then, change in momentum = Force * (time interval).
Therefore, the unit for momentum can be Newton - second (Ns)

The correct answer is increase in sea levels.

Key Points

• Global Warming:
  • Global warming is the phenomenon of a gradual increase in the temperature near the earth’s surface.
  • This phenomenon has been observed over the past one or two centuries.
  • This change has disturbed the climatic pattern of the earth.
  • However, the concept of global warming is quite controversial but the scientists have provided relevant data in support of the fact that the temperature of the earth is rising constantly.
  • There are several causes of global warming, which have a negative effect on humans, plants, and animals.
  • These causes may be natural or might be the outcome of human activities.

Additional Information

• Effects of Global Warming:
• Rise in Temperature:
  • Global warming has led to an incredible increase in the earth’s temperature.
  • Since 1880, the earth’s temperature has increased by ~1ºC.
  • This has resulted in an increase in the melting of glaciers, which has led to an increase in the sea level.
• Threats to the Ecosystem:
  • Global warming has affected the coral reefs that can lead to a loss of plant and animal lives.
  • An increase in global temperatures has made the fragility of coral reefs even worse.
• Climate Change:
  • Global warming has led to a change in climatic conditions.
  • There are droughts at some places and floods at some.
  • This climatic imbalance is the result of global warming.
• Spread of Diseases:
  • Global warming leads to a change in the patterns of heat and humidity.

NaCl is a neutral salt formed by the reaction between strong acid HCl and strong base NaOH. The reaction occurs as follows.

Hydrological Cycle

• The process of circulation of water within the hydrosphere of Earth in different forms such as liquid, solid and gaseous states are called the Hydrological Cycle of water.
• It starts with the Evaporation of water from the surface of the water bodies and further, it includes Transpiration, Sublimation, Condensation and Precipitation.

Key Points

'Hydrological cycle' steps

• The first step of the water cycle is evaporation from water bodies means the part of the Hydrosphere.
• The second step of the water cycle is condensation, which takes place in the atmosphere.
• The third step of the water cycle is precipitation and runoff means the part of the lithosphere.
• The final step of the water cycle is in the Biosphere. 
• It is the zone where all the spheres interact and work together.
• It includes processes like water uptake and transpiration by plants.

​

Thus, in the 'Hydrological cycle' the order of the source in which they connected from each other is first Hydrosphere, second Atmosphere, third Lithosphere and fourth Biosphere.

Additional Information

Processes during a hydrological cycle:

​​Evaporation

• When waters convert from liquid to gas stage as it moves from the groundwater into the atmosphere, this phenomenon is called Evaporation.
• Mainly Solar radiation is the source of energy for evaporation. 

Transpiration

• When plant uptake of water at the roots, transport of water through plant tissues, and release of vapour by leaves is known as transpiration.

Condensation

• The Process of conversion of water vapour to liquid water droplets in the air is called Condensation.
• It is responsible for the formation of fog and clouds.

​Precipitation

• When the condensed water vapour falling to the surface of the Earth is known as Precipitation.
• It occurs in the form of rain, snow, and hail.
• It provides for the delivery of atmospheric water to the earth in the form of rain.

Concept:

Nuclear reactor:

• It is a device in which a nuclear reaction is initiated, maintained, and controlled.
• It works on the principle of controlled chain reaction and provides energy at a constant rate.

Explanation:

• Nuclear Fuel: It is a fissionable material to be used for the fission process to take place. Therefore option 1 is correct.
• Commonly used fuels in a nuclear reactor are U233, Enriched U235, Pu239 etc. 
• Generally, uranium oxide pellets are inserted end to end into long hollow metal tubes constituting the fuel rods.
• When slow neutrons interact with the fuel, the fission starts, and the energy is released. 

Additional Information

• The moderator's function is to slow down the fast-moving secondary neutrons produced during the fission.
  • The material of the moderator should be light and it should not absorb neutrons.
  • Usually, heavy water, graphite, deuterium, and paraffin, etc. can act as moderators.
• Controller: These are made with neutron-absorbing material such as cadmium, hafnium or boron, and are inserted or withdrawn from the core to control the rate of reaction, or to halt it. 
• Lubricant: Lubricant has shown that it is possible to produce materials capable of lubricating some reactor components.
  • In order to further the development of such lubricants, the U.K.A.E.A. and the nuclear manufacturing groups have co-operated in providing lubricant manufacturers.
