Answer : 1. "210 kN/mm2"
Explanation :

Answer: A) 210 kN/mm2 Explanation: It is useful to have a property of a material that is independent of the size of the sample and can be use to compare its elastic properties with another - this is called the Modulus of Elasticity for the material. The modulus of elasticity is defined as:   Modulus of elasticity = Stress / Strain   There are three types of moduli. They are : (a) the Young Modulus - tensile and compression longitudinal stress (b) the shear modulus - a shearing stress (c) the bulk modulus - volume changes of the specimen.

Answer : 2. "2"
Explanation :

Answer: B) 2 Explanation: The number of bonds between a pair of atoms is called the bond order. Bond orders can be calculated from Lewis structures, which are the heart of the valence-bond model. Oxygen, for example, has a bond order of two. When there is more than one Lewis structure for a molecule, the bond order is an average of these structures. The bond order in sulfur dioxide, for example, is 1.5  the average of an S-O single bond in one Lewis structure and an S=O double bond in the other. In molecular orbital theory, we calculate bond orders by assuming that two electrons in a bonding molecular orbital contribute one net bond and that two electrons in an antibonding molecular orbital cancel the effect of one bond. We can calculate the bond order in the O2 molecule by noting that there are eight valence electrons in bonding molecular orbitals and four valence electrons in antibonding molecular orbitals in the electron configuration of this molecule. Thus, the bond order is two.

Q: Is rusting a physical or chemical change? 2201 0

Answer :
Explanation :

In chemistry rusting is called as oxidation. Oxidation is a chemical process where metal gains oxygen and become oxide. In rusting the Iron ore make a chemical reaction with the oxygen in the presence of water and environmental or atmospheric moisture to produce an Iron oxide. Iron oxide is otherwise called as rust. The rusting of iron is a chemical change because it is two substances reacting together to make a new substance.    Rusting would only be a physical change if iron molecules remained pure iron throughout the process.

Answer : 3. "Rs. 9000"
Explanation :

Answer: C) Rs. 9000 Explanation: Let Rs. K invested in each scheme Two years C.I on 20% = 20 + 20 + 20x20/100 = 44% Two years C.I on 15% = 15 + 15 + 15x15/100 = 32.25% Now, (P x 44/100) - (P x 32.25/100) = 528.75 => 11.75 P = 52875 => P = Rs. 4500   Hence, total invested money = P + P = 4500 + 4500 = Rs. 9000.
