Q.11 Easy Physics
A ball is thrown vertically upward with an initial velocity of 20 m/s. What is the maximum height reached? (Take g = 10 m/s²)
A 10 m
B 20 m
C 30 m
D 40 m
Correct Answer:  B. 20 m
EXPLANATION

Using v² = u² - 2gh, where final velocity v = 0, u = 20 m/s, g = 10 m/s². Therefore, 0 = 400 - 20h, giving h = 20 m.

Q.12 Easy Physics
Which of the following statements about velocity is correct?
A Velocity is a scalar quantity that can never be negative
B Velocity is a vector quantity that includes both magnitude and direction
C Velocity and speed are always equal in magnitude
D Velocity remains constant in circular motion
Correct Answer:  B. Velocity is a vector quantity that includes both magnitude and direction
EXPLANATION

Velocity is a vector quantity with both magnitude and direction, unlike speed which is scalar. Velocity can be negative, and in circular motion, velocity constantly changes direction.

Q.13 Easy Physics
Which of the following has the highest specific heat capacity among common substances?
A Iron
B Water
C Copper
D Aluminum
Correct Answer:  B. Water
EXPLANATION

Water has specific heat capacity of 4186 J/(kg·°C), which is significantly higher than iron (~450), copper (~385), and aluminum (~900). This property makes water excellent for heat absorption and temperature regulation.

Q.14 Easy Physics
A ball is thrown upward with initial velocity 20 m/s. Taking g = 10 m/s², what is the maximum height reached?
A 10 m
B 15 m
C 20 m
D 25 m
Correct Answer:  C. 20 m
EXPLANATION

Using v² = u² - 2gh, where final velocity v = 0 at maximum height: 0 = (20)² - 2(10)h, so h = 400/20 = 20 m.

Q.15 Easy Physics
The SI unit of pressure is Pascal (Pa). How is it related to other SI units?
A N/m²
B kg/(m·s²)
C J/m³
D All of the above
Correct Answer:  D. All of the above
EXPLANATION

Pascal = N/m² = kg/(m·s²) = J/m³. All these expressions are dimensionally equivalent representations of pressure, showing the fundamental relationship between force, area, and SI base units.

Q.16 Easy Physics
Two bodies of masses 2 kg and 3 kg are dropped from the same height in vacuum. Which statement is correct?
A 2 kg mass reaches ground first
B 3 kg mass reaches ground first
C Both reach ground simultaneously
D 2 kg mass falls slower due to lesser inertia
Correct Answer:  C. Both reach ground simultaneously
EXPLANATION

In vacuum, acceleration due to gravity is independent of mass. Both bodies experience the same gravitational acceleration (g ≈ 9.8 m/s²) and fall from the same height, so they reach the ground simultaneously.

Q.17 Easy Physics
A body moving in a circular path with constant speed possesses which type of acceleration?
A Zero acceleration
B Centripetal acceleration directed toward the center
C Tangential acceleration only
D Uniform acceleration in the direction of motion
Correct Answer:  B. Centripetal acceleration directed toward the center
EXPLANATION

In uniform circular motion, speed is constant but direction changes continuously. This change in direction causes centripetal acceleration always directed toward the center of the circle.

Q.18 Easy Physics
What is the pH of pure water at 25°C?
A 6
B 7
C 8
D 5
Correct Answer:  B. 7
EXPLANATION

Pure water at 25°C has a pH of 7, which is neutral. This is because [H⁺] = [OH⁻] = 10⁻⁷ M, making pH = -log(10⁻⁷) = 7.

Q.19 Easy Physics
The process by which plants prepare their food using sunlight is known as:
A Respiration
B Photosynthesis
C Fermentation
D Transpiration
Correct Answer:  B. Photosynthesis
EXPLANATION

Photosynthesis is the process where plants use sunlight, water, and CO₂ to produce glucose and oxygen. The equation is 6CO₂ + 6H₂O + light → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂.

Q.20 Easy Physics
A body falls freely from rest. What is its velocity after 2 seconds? (g = 10 m/s²)
A 10 m/s
B 20 m/s
C 30 m/s
D 40 m/s
Correct Answer:  B. 20 m/s
EXPLANATION

Using v = u + gt, where u = 0 (at rest), t = 2s, g = 10 m/s². Therefore v = 0 + 10 × 2 = 20 m/s.
