Question #1
Heat transfer by fluid motion is:
A. Radiation
B. Convection
C. Conduction
D. All three

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Convection: bulk fluid motion carries heat (natural: density-driven; forced: pump/fan). Conduction: molecular collisions; radiation: EM waves. Memory aid: 'Convection = fluid flow + heat; e.g., boiling, weather'. Heat transfer mode frequently tested in competitive exams.

Question #2
One astronomical unit (AU) is the
A. Distance between Earth and Sun
B. Radius of Earth
C. Distance between Earth and Moon
D. Distance travelled by light in one year

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
1 AU ≈ 1.5 × 10⁸ km, average Earth-Sun distance.

Question #3
During boiling, temperature remains constant because heat is used to:
A. Increase pressure
B. Increase kinetic energy
C. Expand volume
D. Break intermolecular bonds

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
At boiling point, supplied heat (latent heat) breaks intermolecular bonds for phase change, not increasing kinetic energy (temperature). Potential energy increases while kinetic energy (temperature) stays constant. Memory aid: 'Latent heat changes state, not temperature'. Conceptual question testing phase change understanding, common in competitive exams to assess microscopic interpretation.
