  1. View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum

    The kilowatt hour, or kilowatt-hour, is a unit of energy equal to 1000 watt hours or 3.6 mega-joules For constant power, energy in watt hours is the product of power in watts and time in hours. The kilowatt hour is most commonly known as a billing unit for energy delivered to consumers by electric utilities.

    Correct Option: A

  1. The temperature which has the same reading on both Fahrenheit and Celsius scales is

    If C is the temperature in Celsius and F is the
    temperature in Fahrenheit then,

    C
    =
    F - 32
    S9

    They are equal at -40° (minus 40 degrees), because if we convert the readings of Celsius and Fahrenheit, we will have: Celsius to Fahrenheit (-40°C x 9/5) +32 = -72 + 32 = -40°F. Fahrenheit to Celsius (-40°F - 32°) x 5/9 = (-72) x 5/9 = -40°C.

    Correct Option: B

    The avian respiratory system delivers oxygen from the air to the tissues and also removes carbon dioxide. In addition, the respiratory system plays an important role in thermoregulation (maintaining normal body temperature). The avian respiratory system is different from that of other vertebrates, with birds having relatively small lungs plus nine air sacs that play an important role in respiration (but are not directly involved in the exchange of gases).

    Water boils at a lower temperature on top of a mountain because there is less air pressure on the molecules. Water boils when the vapor pressure of water exceeds atmospheric pressure. Because the boiling temperature is lower at high elevations foods that are cooked by boiling take a little longer to cook at high elevation.
