A rocket works on the principle of conservation of
A. Angular momentum
B. Energy
C. Momentum
D. Mass

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Rocket propulsion: expelled gases backwards impart forward momentum to rocket. Total momentum of rocket + exhaust gases remains conserved. No external force, so momentum conservation applies. Jet engines also work on similar principle.

Beats used for:
A. Neither
B. Sound speed measurement
C. Both
D. Instrument tuning

Correct Answer: Option C

Question #3 Report Error
Which scientific instrument is used specifically for measuring very high temperatures, such as the surface temperature of the Sun or inside a furnace, from a distance?
A. Pyrometer
B. Cryometer
C. Calorimeter
D. Bolometer

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
A pyrometer is a non-contact thermometer used to measure high temperatures. It operates on the principle of thermal radiation (Stefan-Boltzmann law or Wien's law), measuring the intensity or spectrum of electromagnetic radiation emitted by the extremely hot object. A cryometer measures very low temperatures, and a calorimeter measures heat capacity.
