Which gate produces a HIGH output only when ALL inputs are HIGH?
Answer: AND gate
An AND gate outputs HIGH (1) only when all of its inputs are HIGH, otherwise it outputs LOW.
A spring with a spring constant of 200 N/m is compressed by 0.05 m. How much potential energy is stored?
Answer: 0.25 J
Spring PE = ½kx² = ½ × 200 × (0.05)² = ½ × 200 × 0.0025 = 0.25 J.
In object-oriented programming, what is 'encapsulation'?
Answer: Bundling data and methods that operate on that data within one unit
Encapsulation bundles data (attributes) and the methods that act on it into a single class, hiding internal details.
Which material is classified as a semiconductor?
Answer: Silicon
Silicon is a semiconductor — its conductivity falls between conductors and insulators and can be controlled by doping.
Two resistors of 6Ω and 3Ω are connected in parallel. What is the total resistance?
Answer: 2 Ω
For parallel resistors: 1/R = 1/6 + 1/3 = 1/6 + 2/6 = 3/6 = 1/2, so R = 2 Ω.
What is the main advantage of a screw as a simple machine?
Answer: It converts rotational force into linear motion with a mechanical advantage
A screw converts rotational (torque) input into linear motion, providing a large mechanical advantage over short distances.
Which protocol is primarily used for sending email messages?
Answer: SMTP
SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) is the standard protocol used for sending email between servers.
