Q.61 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.62 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.63 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.64 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.65 Easy Physics
Which law of motion states that the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force applied and inversely proportional to its mass?
A Newton's First Law
B Newton's Second Law
C Newton's Third Law
D Law of Universal Gravitation
Correct Answer:  B. Newton's Second Law
Explanation:

Newton's Second Law: F = ma, where acceleration is directly proportional to force and inversely proportional to mass.

Q.66 Easy Physics
A 2 kg object accelerates at 5 m/s² when a net force is applied. What is the magnitude of the net force?
A 2.5 N
B 5 N
C 10 N
D 20 N
Correct Answer:  C. 10 N
Explanation:

Using F = ma, F = 2 × 5 = 10 N. This is a direct application of Newton's Second Law.

Q.67 Easy Physics
Which color of visible light has the longest wavelength?
A Violet
B Blue
C Yellow
D Red
Correct Answer:  D. Red
Explanation:

The visible light spectrum ranges from violet (shortest wavelength ~400 nm) to red (longest wavelength ~700 nm). Red light has the longest wavelength among visible light.

Q.68 Easy Physics
Which of the following is the SI unit of electric potential?
A Joule per Coulomb
B Newton per Coulomb
C Ampere per Ohm
D Watt per Ampere
Correct Answer:  A. Joule per Coulomb
Explanation:

Electric potential is defined as work done per unit charge. SI unit is Joule/Coulomb = Volt. Option D (Watt/Ampere) also equals Volt but option A is more fundamental.

Q.69 Easy Physics
A convex lens has a focal length of 15 cm. An object is placed 30 cm from the lens. Where will the image form?
A 30 cm on the opposite side (real, inverted, same size)
B 15 cm on the opposite side (real, inverted, magnified)
C 45 cm on the same side (virtual, erect, diminished)
D 20 cm on the opposite side (real, inverted, magnified)
Correct Answer:  A. 30 cm on the opposite side (real, inverted, same size)
Explanation:

Using lens formula: 1/f = 1/u + 1/v. 1/15 = 1/30 + 1/v gives v = 30 cm. When u = 2f, image forms at 2f with magnification -1 (same size, inverted, real).

Take Test
Q.70 Easy Physics
Which phenomenon is responsible for the reddish appearance of the Sun at sunset?
A Refraction
B Scattering of light
C Dispersion
D Diffraction
Correct Answer:  B. Scattering of light
Explanation:

At sunset, light travels through a longer path in the atmosphere. Shorter wavelengths (blue) scatter more (Rayleigh scattering), leaving longer wavelengths (red) to reach the observer.
