Q.1 Medium Physics 14 Apr 2026
A body moves in a circle of radius 5 m with constant speed 10 m/s. What is the centripetal acceleration?
A2 m/s²
B20 m/s²
C50 m/s²
D100 m/s²
Correct Answer:  B. 20 m/s²
EXPLANATION

Centripetal acceleration a = v²/r = (10)²/5 = 100/5 = 20 m/s².

Q.2 Medium Physics 14 Apr 2026
Two capacitors of 2 μF and 3 μF are connected in series. What is the equivalent capacitance?
A5 μF
B1.2 μF
C6 μF
D0.5 μF
Correct Answer:  B. 1.2 μF
EXPLANATION

For capacitors in series: 1/C = 1/C₁ + 1/C₂ = 1/2 + 1/3 = 5/6. Therefore C = 6/5 = 1.2 μF.

Q.3 Medium Physics 14 Apr 2026
A ball is thrown vertically upward with initial velocity 20 m/s. What maximum height does it reach? (g = 10 m/s²)
A10 m
B20 m
C30 m
D40 m
Correct Answer:  B. 20 m
EXPLANATION

At maximum height, v = 0. Using v² = u² - 2gh: 0 = 20² - 2(10)h. 20h = 400. h = 20 m.

Q.4 Medium Physics 14 Apr 2026
Which law of thermodynamics explains why heat cannot spontaneously flow from a colder body to a hotter body?
AFirst Law of Thermodynamics
BSecond Law of Thermodynamics
CThird Law of Thermodynamics
DZeroth Law of Thermodynamics
Correct Answer:  B. Second Law of Thermodynamics
EXPLANATION

The Second Law of Thermodynamics states that entropy of an isolated system increases or remains constant. Heat spontaneously flows from hot to cold, not vice versa, establishing the direction of processes.

Q.5 Medium Physics 14 Apr 2026
A moving object has kinetic energy K. If its velocity is doubled, what will be its new kinetic energy?
A2K
B4K
CK/2
DK/4
Correct Answer:  B. 4K
EXPLANATION

Kinetic energy KE = (1/2)mv². When velocity is doubled: KE' = (1/2)m(2v)² = (1/2)m(4v²) = 4 × (1/2)mv² = 4K.

Test
Q.6 Medium Physics 14 Apr 2026
Which of the following correctly describes the photoelectric effect?
AEmission of electrons from a metal when exposed to light of sufficient frequency
BEmission of electrons from a metal when exposed to light of any frequency
CAbsorption of light energy by electrons in a metal
DThe bending of light around obstacles
Correct Answer:  A. Emission of electrons from a metal when exposed to light of sufficient frequency
EXPLANATION

The photoelectric effect occurs when light of frequency greater than or equal to the threshold frequency strikes a metal surface, causing electron emission. It demonstrates the particle nature of light.

Test
Q.7 Medium Physics 14 Apr 2026
When a spring is compressed by 0.1 m, the elastic potential energy stored is 5 J. What is the spring constant?
A500 N/m
B1000 N/m
C50 N/m
D5000 N/m
Correct Answer:  B. 1000 N/m
EXPLANATION

Elastic potential energy E = (1/2)kx². 5 = (1/2)k(0.1)². 5 = 0.005k. k = 1000 N/m.

Test
Q.8 Medium Physics 14 Apr 2026
A sound wave has a frequency of 440 Hz and travels at 330 m/s in air. What is its wavelength?
A0.75 m
B145200 m
C0.5 m
D770 m
Correct Answer:  A. 0.75 m
EXPLANATION

Using v = fλ, where v = 330 m/s and f = 440 Hz. λ = v/f = 330/440 = 0.75 m.

Test
Q.9 Medium Physics 14 Apr 2026
Two resistances of 10 Ω and 20 Ω are connected in parallel. What is the equivalent resistance?
A30 Ω
B6.67 Ω
C15 Ω
D200 Ω
Correct Answer:  B. 6.67 Ω
EXPLANATION

For parallel resistances: 1/R = 1/R₁ + 1/R₂ = 1/10 + 1/20 = 3/20. Therefore R = 20/3 = 6.67 Ω.

Test
Q.10 Medium Physics 14 Apr 2026
A concave mirror has a focal length of 10 cm. An object is placed 5 cm from the mirror. What type of image is formed?
AReal, inverted, magnified
BVirtual, erect, magnified
CReal, inverted, diminished
DVirtual, erect, diminished
Correct Answer:  B. Virtual, erect, magnified
EXPLANATION

When object distance (5 cm) < focal length (10 cm), the object is between the mirror and focus. A concave mirror forms a virtual, erect, and magnified image in this case.
