THE TUESDAY TOAST - S02E04

 The TTT Team is here again to get you hyped up with some interesting physics trivia!!! πŸ€“πŸ€“πŸ€“

Buckle up and give it a go!!!🀩🀩🀩


1. Which was the first interstellar object discovered near earth? The object was first thought to be a comet.  However, it was later classified as an asteroid.

Options: 

  1. Ceres

  2. Hygiea

  3. Borisov

  4. Oumuamua


2. Count Rumford in 1798 observed that the boring of cannons (drilling a hole in the muzzle) produces a large amount of X. By experiments based on the same phenomenon he was able to boil water. No explanation based on the then understood nature of X could explain the observations satisfactorily. It was then first realized that X is a form of Y and not a material substance. What are X and Y?

Options: 

  1. X- Heat , Y- Energy

  2. X- Sound, Y - Energy

  3. X- Vibrations, Y- Energy

  4. X- Energy, Y- Heat

 

3. In this method of calculating pi, we throw random points on a square with an inner circle and calculate the fraction of points falling in the circle.

Options: 

  1. Chudnovsky Algorithm 

  2. Monte Carlo Simulation

  3. Liu Hui's Ο€ algorithm

  4. Borwein's algorithm

4. Who is the author of the standard graduate-level textbook  “Classical Electrodynamics” which is notoriously famous for its level of difficulty? In the third edition of the book,  ___ units were employed instead of the Gaussian unit system, and the writer admitted that he betrayed the agreement with Edward Purcell (author of another undergraduate textbook on the same subject) of supporting each other in the use of Gaussian units.

Options: 

  1. Carl Sagan, CGS units

  2. George Gamow, SI Units

  3. Steven Strogatz, CGS Units

  4. John D Jackson, SI units

5. Volatiles Investigating Polar Exploration Rover, VIPER  is the name of NASA’s first-ever robotic rover that will touch the moon in 2023. Recently the space agency announced its landing site on the moon. Name the site.

Options: 

  1. Leavitt crater

  2. Haber crater

  3. Apollo crater

  4. Nobile’s crater

Time travel: Is it possible?

  Physics says time travel is possible, but probably not in the way you're thinking. Is Time Travel Possible? In short, yes—you’re already doing it, steadily moving forward in time at a rate of one second per second. Whether you’re observing paint dry or wishing for more time with an out-of-town friend, you’re continuously advancing through time at a consistent pace. However, this isn’t the type of time travel that has inspired countless science fiction stories or led to a genre with more than 400 titles listed under “Movies about Time Travel” on Wikipedia. In popular series like “Doctor Who,” “Star Trek,” and “Back to the Future,” characters enter fantastical machines to journey into the past or leap into the future. After traveling through time, they often face the consequences of altering the past or present based on knowledge from the future, which ties into concepts of parallel universes or alternate timelines. While the idea of altering the past or glimpsing the future is i...

NUCLEAR ENERGY - A Brief Overview (Part I)

Introduction Energy is one of the major constituents of our normal livelihood. We built our civilized society on the basis of pure energy resources. As an introductory fact, Energy is still a complex equation which needs to be addressed. There exists no ultimate source of energy which we can tap into, so that it remains a big concern in front of us. Ultimately we need to find a source of clean and pure energy which can fuel our aspiring needs of  the future. One of the most promising and reliant sources is nuclear energy. Nuclear energy has been in  development for more than 80 years, From the era of the second world war. In 1945 when the US bombed Japan in Hiroshima and Nagasaki the world saw the destructive capabilities of nuclear energy. The basic concept of nuclear energy first came into picture when Albert Einstein gave his famous mass - energy equivalence equation.Even Though he knew that there exists a possibility of a clean energy source in them,he was backlashed by it...
