1.Why do massive objects distort space time?

-
Massive objects distort spacetime due to the nature of gravity as described by Einstein's theory of General Relativity. In this theory, gravity is not seen as a force between objects, but rather as a result of the curvature or warping of spacetime caused by mass and energy.
The basic idea is that spacetime is like a flexible fabric, and massive objects (like stars, planets, and black holes) cause a "dent" or "curve" in this fabric. Smaller objects (like planets or light) move along these curves, which we perceive as the effect of gravity.

This happens because spacetime tells matter how to move, and matter tells spacetime how to curve. The more massive an object, the greater the distortion of spacetime around it. This warping affects both the paths of objects moving through space and the passage of time near the massive object.

In summary, massive objects distort spacetime because their mass bends the geometry of spacetime itself, creating what we experience as gravitational attraction.

Determination of Focal Length of Concave Mirror and Convex Lens Before getting started with the experiment, it is important to understand a few terms that are used in a concave mirror and convex lens: Centre of curvature: For a curved mirror, the centre of curvature, C can be defined as the centre of a hollow glass sphere of which a curved mirror is a part. Radius of curvature: For a curved mirror, the radius of curvature, R can be defined as the radius of the hollow glass sphere of a spherical mirror is part. Principal axis: Principal axis is defined as the imaginary line passing through the pole and centre of curvature of the spherical mirror. Principal focus: Principal focus is defined as a point at which the reflected rays meet or appear to meet for the spherical mirror.  For a concave mirror, the principal focus is in the front and  For a convex mirror, the principal focus is at the behind. Below is an experiment to determine the focal length of a concave mirror a

Also plotting a graph between V and I Potential difference is defined as the work done to move a unit charge from one point to the other. The SI unit of potential difference is volt. Electromotive force is defined as the electric potential produced by either an electrochemical cell or by changing the magnetic field. Below is an experiment to study the dependence of the potential difference across a resistor with current-carrying I.

CBSE Class 10 Science  (Biology) Practical Skills –   Binary Fission in Amoeba and Budding in Yeast BASIC BUILDING CONCEPTS Reproduction is the ability of an individual to produce new generation of individuals of same species. It involves the transmission of genetic material from the parental generation to the next generation, thereby ensuring that characteristics, not only of the species but also the parental organisms, are perpetuated. Types of Reproduction Reproduction is of two types – Asexual and Sexual. Asexual reproduction –  Production of offspring by a single parent without the involvement of gamete formation is called asexual reproduction. The off springs produced by asexual reproduction are identical to parents. Such identical off springs from a single parent are referred to as clone. Asexual reproduction is of various types which are listed in the following flow chart. Sexual reproduction –  Sexual reproduction involves two parents. Male parent produ
