@The Star
 
Light years is distance
6 feet tall lady needs 3 feet mirror..
German silver is Cu+Ni (remember usually zinc)
temperature of the dead body will be equal to the temperature where you keep it
the blood pressure makes the man comfortable so the answer is (An equal and opposite pressure acts from inside)...in space you will burst without a pressure suit....answer is not gravity...
escape velocity is 7 miles per second or 11 km/s or 11000 m/s
evolution is a continuing process
polygenic characteristics are controlled by multiple genes (i guess the name suggests it too---poly means many)

that is what i wrote....plz correct the mistakes

omerkhan Monday, March 08, 2010 07:16 PM

german silver is alloy of copper, nickel and zinc so the answer is none of these

convection is heat transfer in liquids, so the answer to the first one should be radiation

Sonar uses ultrasound

rainfall is measured by none of these, bcuz its measured by rain guage

twinkling of stars is due to interference, just checked it on wikipedia

escape velocity is 7 miles/sec

these are the ones that I am very sure about.

[QUOTE]A time can come when we will be able to design a machine which can go on working for ever without the expenditure of energy. Is it possible ?[/QUOTE]

Energy can be converted into matter or other forms of energy but can not be produced.a machine can not produce energy without consuming matter or any other form of energy,it only converts one form into another.This is a well established and well known fact of mechanics.so the answer should be no.

Convection can not take place in solids.it takes place in atmosphere.cloud formation is the result of convection.convection might be correct answer.

The question focuses on a machine which can go on working [B]without the expenditure of energy[/B]...

Scientists have already created a proto-type aircraft which uses solar energy, and it is assumed the aircraft could fly forever by charging its solar cells from sun light. Therefore the answer is YES.

The Star Monday, March 08, 2010 08:06 PM

what is meant by [B][I]expenditure of energy[/I][/B]? aircraft which u mentioned will [B]consume[/B] solar energy.it can fly forever only if it continues to expend solar energy.

salal Monday, March 08, 2010 08:07 PM

Heat can be transmitted by radiation (heat waves across empty space), convection (flow in air or liquids by mixing of molecules and hot air rising), and conduction ( flow through a solid).

So the best answer is Radiation for MCQ 1

Hunain Monday, March 08, 2010 08:09 PM

I chose IN DUE TIME, the question mentioned, expenditure, expenditure refers to continued use of energy, which is only possible if the object is working against some forces, if forces are removed, the machine can keep working with the initial energy given to it, like a push to a pendulum.

19. Cusec is a unit of :

a) Area
b) Time
c) Distance
d) mass
[B]e) None of these[/B]

Cusec is a measure of flow rate and is informal shorthand for cubic feet per second (28.317 litres per second). In the United States it is generally applied to water flow, particularly in rivers. Other informal synonyms are cfs and second-feet.
1 ft3s-1 = 0.028316847m3s-1 1 ft3s-1 = 1 cusec
1 ft3s-1 = 28.316847 litre s-1 1 cubic foot per minute = 1 cufm
1 cufm = 1.699m3h-1 1 cufm = 28.32 litre min-1
1 gallon per minute = 0.7577 litre s-1 1 gallon per minute = 7.577x10-5m3s-1

@salal

Dear what ever work is done is needs energy.
needs energy implies to the[B]expenditure of energy[/B]
so prototype air craft or any other scientific inventions what so ever works expend the energy.
the machine you are reffering to i charges its solar cell means it gains energy and works using and expending that energy it keeps on charging and expending energy for doing some work.

[B]do dear it is quite imposible to work without expenditure of the energy[/B]


regards

ealihmo Tuesday, March 09, 2010 02:43 PM

2. A time can come when we will be able to design a machine which can go on working for ever without the expenditure of energy. Is it possible ?

a) No
b) Yes
c) In due course time
d) Very soon
e) None of these

D and C can be omitted straightaway because we can not say anything about these two options presently.

B: well, one of the basics of mechanics is that to be able to do work, energy must be spent. So this can not be the answer.

A: Umm, what if the basic laws of mechanics change in future? Theories once widely accepted and acknowledged were rejected later on: e.g; Earth's orbital motion etc


E: None of these; might be a democratic answer.. I would have gone with these one, just like we get the polls on geo which has three options:

Han.
Na
Pata nahi :))

This is the trickiest question of the paper, i would like to see more comments on this one.

Jamil Mughal Tuesday, March 09, 2010 02:51 PM

they are inquiring abt the expenditure of energy, once u have lended machine with energy than it can also recycle that energy..

I think the answer is YES....:)

[QUOTE=Jamil Mughal;173852]they are inquiring abt the expenditure of energy, once u have lended machine with energy than it can also recycle that energy..

But its still "expending" the energy in the first place, so the answer is NO....:)

@ Akeeq
 
well everyone shall have different conceptions, currently whatever we utter will be prejudiced...... Bcuz till now, nothing like that is appeared....... :)

But to some extent I have trust on science ..... You can take the illustrations of giant inventions and discoveries, which were considered to be a joke previously... But everyone admires them now..

you know "everyone greets the rising sun" :)

mashal rana Thursday, March 11, 2010 08:54 PM

hi
 
well bronchioles the smallest features of lungs so inhaled layer after passing through the trachea reaches the lungs and finally into bronchioles so bronchioles is the correct ans
Most of the absorption occurs in small intestine while large intestine mainly focuses on water and reabsorbed particles.
radiation is the correct phenomenon...

mashal rana Thursday, March 11, 2010 09:06 PM

i forgot to mention in my previous post about parsec, it is the unit of length, so answer would be none of these.
polygeny is characterized by multiple genes
hepatitis A is transmitted by water
cancer can be treated by chemotherapy and radiotherapy
these are some answers i frequently found to b wronly answered...
one more thing guyz tell me is it essential to hold a B.A. degree for a student of MBBS or Pharm-D which are actually 5 years bachelor program to appear in CSS. do reply me
thanx...

Mossavir Wazir Thursday, March 11, 2010 09:18 PM

parsec is a unit of distance my friend. confirm.
in fact both light year and parsec is a unit of distance. i guess 3.26 light years is equal to 1 parsec.

mashal rana Thursday, March 11, 2010 09:40 PM

mossavir plz go and check and confirm it. parsec is a unit of length equal to 31 trillion km or 3.26 light years and infact u ll find it in astronomy and for your information light year is a lso a unit of length, not distance...
although i ve a medical background but not so bad at physics... hope my answer would have satisfied you.
take care

mashal rana Thursday, March 11, 2010 09:45 PM

i think u got confused because parsec is basically a unit of length but used to measure distance of stars as used in astronomy so hope it would be clear

Miss_Naqvi Friday, March 12, 2010 01:58 AM

Answer to the argued items
 
[QUOTE=mashal rana;174201]i think u got confused because parsec is basically a unit of length but used to measure distance of stars as used in astronomy so hope it would be clear[/QUOTE]

Well Brother [B]length is the measure of distance [/B] so when you say its unit of length it actually measures distance so those who opted for the option d they have scored 1 mark for their right answer.

[B]Now come to another argued item[/B]

[B]Work without expanditure of energy is impossible so the right option is no[/B]

because no machine is there to work wihtout consumption of energy
Input = Output means 100% efficiency
so even if we neglect the concept of energy dissipation even then we have to provide energy to get the work done. One of the member has mentioned that some jets are using solar energy so dear brother even its form of energy.

mashal rana Friday, March 12, 2010 05:42 AM

well miss naqvi if u u had seen my name alongwith my post u must have called me sister...anyways i think u havent seen my second post but if u people have chosen da right answer then i m really happy i vent given the exams so i m not really concerned that my answer iz wrong may be my answer iz wrong so all the best to u...

What does sunny side actually mean????
 
Can any one explain what does suuny side stand for? what we had to write in the paper? Does it mean some advantages of global warming. As there seems to be no advantage, so i wrote its negative consequences and explained that it does not have any sunny side. Is it right?

Noor_2009 Saturday, March 13, 2010 02:45 PM

@usman khalid
 
[B](A2) POSITIVE CONSEQUENCES RELATED TO Global warming[/B]
Global warming, with some of its harsh realities, does possess a few benefits; however, smaller as compare to losses. The beneficiaries of such areas are smaller in number than the temperate ones.
[B](A.2.1) ECONOMY[/B]
Reduced labor cost will benefit firms and corporations functioning in extreme cold climate. Labor demands more wages and privileges in harsh working environments. However, if temperature increases, then it will decline the total cost of labor because workers will agree on taking less. A research estimated that in such areas labor would be willing to give up annually $30 to $100 billion for a 2.5 degree Centigrade increase in temperature. In addition, real estate in some regions will boost many times in their value. It is because of widespread migration as well as loss of land by flooding and submersion.

[B](A.2.2) AGRICULTURE[/B]
Research by National Science Foundation reveals that 12th and 14th centuries temperature of the planet was 0.5 degree Centigrade warmer than it is today. For this reason, Norse settlers were able to cultivate profusely in America, Europe and Southern regions of Greenland. The temperature that IPCC has predicted between 2030 and 2050 is similar in that nature of 13th and 14th centuries. Therefore, it is probable that Greenland and other regions will be cultivable again. Moreover, Carbon dioxide acts as a fertilizer, because it reduces the rate of evaporation, and helps in photosynthesis; therefore, this could be beneficial in increasing the productivity of the farmlands.
[B](A.2.3) HEALTH AND LIVING CONDITIONS [/B]
Rise in temperature will be of some benefits for regions where climate is extremely cold for whole of the year. For instance, warmer climate in the US will reduce 40,000 deaths per year on 2.5 degrees Centigrade rise in temperature and medical costs caused by low temperature will reduce by 20$ billion annually.

it eas quite an easy paper........
5 questions can easily be attempted from section 2 and mcqs were also not very difficult......

umarabbas Saturday, March 13, 2010 07:07 PM

Brother

Sunny sides means the brighter side of something!...well i wrote there is a brighter side to it....initially those countries which are currently too cold to support agriculture will turn productive...that is what i read somewhere...but that advantage will be lost too....secondly, in regions like Siberia and Antarctica...there can be minerals and other natural resources...which we may utilize then...

well i believe the question asked how does Hepatitis A get transferred...so that is through feaces...although feaces use the water to transmit the disease but the cause is feaces...

Imadafridi Sunday, March 14, 2010 07:54 AM

Umar I wrote the same plus I added that it brought all the nations of the world together which was a positive sign.

The Hep-A question is confusing,I wrote faeces as both Hepatitis-a and Hepatitis-E basically spreads through the oro-fecal route.I also asked my father and he said its correct because water is just the medium,not the basic cause..

umarabbas Sunday, March 14, 2010 11:23 AM

yeah imdad ...you are right....that was the logic i used too.....

1. Water is heated in a kettle. The inside water is heated by convection. A person sitting near the fire receives heat by :

a) Conduction
b) Convection
c) Radiation
d) Reflection
e) None of these


its answer should be radiation not conduction because conduction is the heat transferred with in the body.
when heat is radiated by the kettle the person sitting near the fire receives the heat
