101) Electron microscope is designed by “knoll” and “Ruska”.

102)  The Refractive index of Diamond is 2.41

103)  Density of diamond is 3.51gm/cm3

104)  Density of graphite is 2.25gm/cm3

105)  Third form of carbon C-60 is discovered in 1996 by “HW.KROTO”; “Resmasy”.

106)  Distance between two layers in graphite is ----3.35Ao

107)  C-C bond length ------1.42A  in graphite.

108)  C-C bond length -------1.52Ao in diamond.

109)  Radioactivity was discovered by Henry Becquerel in 1896.

110) To avoid overturning of a vehicle moving on a curved road, the height of center of gravity of vehicle must be nearer to the ground.

111)When a spin bowler throws a cricket ball towards the batsman , the center of mass of ball follows a parabolic path.

112) Newton’s laws of motion apply only to centre of mass.

113)  A body is heated uniformly keeping it on a smooth surface . the position of centre of mass wrt that body doesn't change in position.

114)Two balls are thrown simultaneously in air the acceleration of centre of mass of those two balls in air is equal to ‘g’.

115)If two particles initially at rest approach each other due to mutual force, they two meet at centre of mass of system.

116) The center of mass of Earth and moon describes elliptical path.

117)When a person walks on a rough road , the frictional force exerted by the road on him is along his direction of motion.

118)Less mileage is obtained per liter of fuel by a car making frequent stops because each time of starting it has to overcome static friction.

119)Small brake and large brake both are equally effective in stopping a cycle as friction doesn’t depend on area of contact.

120)Coefficient of friction can be greater than 1.

121)When a person walks on a rough surface reaction of force applied by a man on surface  keeps him moving.

122) Helium has the lowest critical temp -268 oC of all known gases.

123) Helium has no triple point.

124) Boiling point of Helium is 4.2 Kelvin.

125) No white Dwarf star can have mass larger than 1.4 times mass of sun.

126) Work done by Contripetal force is zero.

127) Centripetal force and centrifugal reaction from action – reaction pair. But centripetal force and centrifugal force  doesn’t form action –reaction pair.

128) Centrifugal force is a pseudo force.

129) Centripetal force & Centrifugal reaction are Real forces.

130) Mass of earth is 6x1024 kg

131) Mean density of earth is about 5500kg/m3

132) Mean radius of earth is about 6400km.

133) Acceleration due to gravity depends on density of planet.

134) ’g ‘ is maximum on Jupiter.

135) ‘g’ is minimum on mercury.

136) Orbital velocity for a surface satellite is about 8 km/sec.

137) The orbit in which a geostationary satellite moves is called  Parking orbit.

138) Relative velocity of parking  satellite wrt earth is zero.

139) Time period of revolution of parking satellite 24hrs.

140) Orbital linear velocity is about 3kms-1.

141) A satellite cannot be coast in a stable orbit in a plane not passing through the earth’s centre.

142) Communication satellites are placed in Parking orbits.

143) Time period of revolution of a satellite around planet is independent of mass of satellite.

144) Time period of a surface satellite of earth is 84.6 min or 1.4 hrs

145) If a rocket is launched in the equatorial plane from west to east , advantage is upto 0.47 kms-1 in launching speed.

146) Negative total energy of satellite indicates that energy must be supplied to remove the satellite from the orbit against gravitational attraction.

147) Apparent weight of a body in satellite is zero.

148) If 1 kg of sugar is weighed using a spring balance at poles and the equator more  quantity is obtained at equator.

149) For geostationary satellite the time period is equal to rotation of earth about its axis.

150)The first artifiacial satellite launched by India is Aryabhatta in 1975,  April 19.
