Q.1 Which of these has the highest calorific value? A. Rubber B. Hydrogen C. Coal D. Plastic E. Wood Explanation:- When fuels are burnt, heat is produced. The amount of heat produced by different types of fuels on burning is expressed in terms of calorific value. Calorific value of a fuel may be defined as the amount of heat produced on complete burning of 1 gm of fuel. S.I. unit of calorific value of fuels is kilojoule per gram (KJ/g). For example, when one gram of wood is burnt completely it produces 17 kilojoules heat. Therefore, the calorific value of wood is 17 KJ/g. in similar manner, when 1 gm of kerosene oil is burnt completely it produces 48 kilojoules heat. So, the calorific value of kerosene oil is 48 KJ/g. the calorific value of different types of fuels is given in following table. Table of calorific value of fuels Serial No. Fuel Calorific value 1. Hydrogen 150 KJ/g 2. Methane 55 KJ/g 3. LPG 50 KJ/g 4. Kerosene oil 48 KJ/g 5. Charcoal 33 KJ/g 6. Wood 17 KJ/g Signi

Q.1 Which Star is called Earth’s satellite? Q.2 What is the Orbital period of Moon?                       Answer:-1 Earth has many satellites orbiting it, but the only significant natural satellite that orbits the Earth is the moon. The Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS) maintains a listing of all man-made satellites orbiting the Earth, which includes more than 1,000 operating satellites. Full Answer More than 500 of these man-made satellites are operated by the United States, with more than 100 also coming from Russia and China. The UCS Satellite Database is a free and comprehensive database that allows people to find information about the various satellites including altitude and mission. Users are able to find answers to popular questions, such as the number of satellites a given country has in orbit and their specific usage. The moon is Earth's only significant natural satellite, and it is believed to be approximately 4.5 billion years old. When seen from Earth, the moon'
