Q 3221112021

Step-up transformers are used for
NDA Paper 2 2017
(A)

increasing electrical power

(B)

decreasing electrical power

(C)

decreasing voltage

(D)

increasing voltage

Solution:

Step-up transformers are used at power stations to produce the very high voltages needed to transmit electricity through the National Grid power lines. These high voltages are too dangerous to use in the home, so step-down transformers are used locally to reduce the voltage to safe levels.

Bats detect obstacles in their path by receiving tho reflected
NDA Paper 2 2017
(A)

Infrasonic waves

(B)

Ultrasonic waves

(C)

Radio waves

(D)

Micro waves

Solution:

Bats use echolocation to navigate and find food in the dark. To echolocate, bats send out sound waves from their mouth or nose. When the sound waves hit an object they produce echoes. The echo bounces off the object and returns to the bats ears.

That sound wave is called Ultrasonic waves. Ultrasound is acoustic (sound) energy in the form of waves having a frequency above the human hearing range.
Correct Answer is `=>` (B) Ultrasonic waves

Q 3281312227

Which one of the following statements is not correct ?
NDA Paper 2 2017
(A)

Human eye is a refracting system containing a diverging lens.

(B)

Th retina of the human eye contains millions of light sensitive cells called rods and cones , which convert the light in to electrical messages.

(C)

Every image that is focused on the retina is upside down

(D)

We need both eyes to judge the relative positions of objects accurately.

Solution:

A concave lens is a diverging lens. When parallel rays of light pass through a concave lens the refracted rays diverge so that they appear to come from one point called the principal focus.

The lens is a transparent, biconvex structure in the eye that, along with the cornea, helps to refract light to be focused on the retina. The lens, by changing shape, functions to change the focal distance of the eye so that it can focus on objects at various distances, thus allowing a sharp real image of the object of interest to be formed on the retina.
Correct Answer is `=>` (A) Human eye is a refracting system containing a diverging lens.

Q 3271312226

If same object is weighed when submerged in water. What will happen to its weight compared to its weight in air?
NDA Paper 2 2017
(A)

Increase

(B)

Decreases

(C)

remains exactly the same

(D)

Increase or decrease cannot be predicted

Solution:

The weight of an object is defined by its mass, times the acceleration due to gravity. i.e, w=mg, thus weight is a measure of the force of gravity acting on an object's mass.
A object, or any object for that matter, weighs the same in air as well as in water. But in water (due to its density of` 1000 kg//m³`), an additional buoyant force acts on the object in a direction opposite to the direction in which the weight of the object acts. Thus, if the weight of the object acts downwards, buoyant force acts upwards. These two forces work together to make it seem as thought the object weighs less in water.
The same principle also acts on the object while it is in air, but due to its very low density, the buoyant force acting on the object is almost negligible.
Correct Answer is `=>` (B) Decreases

Q 3251001824

An object moves in a circular path with a constant speed Which one of the following statements is correct ?
NDA Paper 2 2017
(A)

The centripetal acceleration of the object is smaller for a gentle curve (i.e., curve of larger radius) than that for a sharp curve (i.e., curve of smaller radius)

(B)

The ccntripet.al acceleration is greater for a gentle curve than that for a sharp curve.
