Q.141 Hard Physics
A projectile is launched at an angle of 45° with initial velocity 20 m/s. What is the maximum height reached? (g = 10 m/s²)
A5 m
B10 m
C15 m
D20 m
Correct Answer:  B. 10 m
Explanation:

Vertical component of velocity: u_y = 20 sin(45°) = 20/√2 = 10√2 m/s. Maximum height h = u_y²/(2g) = (10√2)²/(2×10) = 200/20 = 10 m.

Q.142 Hard Physics
The first law of thermodynamics relates to which principle?
AConservation of energy
BConservation of momentum
CConservation of angular momentum
DConservation of charge
Correct Answer:  A. Conservation of energy
Explanation:

The first law of thermodynamics (ΔU = Q - W) states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transferred. It is based on conservation of energy.

Q.143 Hard Physics
A transformer has a primary coil with 500 turns and secondary coil with 100 turns. If the primary voltage is 220V, what is the secondary voltage?
A22 V
B44 V
C110 V
D220 V
Correct Answer:  B. 44 V
Explanation:

Using transformer equation: V_s/V_p = N_s/N_p. Therefore V_s = V_p × (N_s/N_p) = 220 × (100/500) = 220 × 0.2 = 44 V.

Q.144 Hard Physics
Which of the following pairs correctly represents the SI units of momentum and impulse respectively?
Akg·m/s and N·s
BN·s and kg·m/s
CBoth kg·m/s and N·s (they are equivalent)
Dkg·m/s² and N·s
Correct Answer:  C. Both kg·m/s and N·s (they are equivalent)
Explanation:

Momentum = mass × velocity = kg·m/s. Impulse = force × time = N·s = (kg·m/s²)·s = kg·m/s. Both have equivalent units.

Q.145 Easy Physics
A body moving in a circular path with constant speed possesses which type of acceleration?
AZero acceleration
BCentripetal acceleration directed toward the center
CTangential acceleration only
DUniform 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.146 Easy Physics
Two bodies of masses 2 kg and 3 kg are dropped from the same height in vacuum. Which statement is correct?
A2 kg mass reaches ground first
B3 kg mass reaches ground first
CBoth reach ground simultaneously
D2 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.147 Easy Physics
The SI unit of pressure is Pascal (Pa). How is it related to other SI units?
AN/m²
Bkg/(m·s²)
CJ/m³
DAll 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.148 Easy Physics
A ball is thrown upward with initial velocity 20 m/s. Taking g = 10 m/s², what is the maximum height reached?
A10 m
B15 m
C20 m
D25 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.149 Medium Physics
Which of the following exhibits wave-particle duality?
AOnly light
BOnly electrons
CBoth light and electrons
DOnly macro objects
Correct Answer:  C. Both light and electrons
Explanation:

De Broglie proposed that all matter exhibits wave-particle duality. Both light (photons) and electrons show properties of both waves and particles, confirmed by experiments like double-slit interference and photoelectric effect.

Q.150 Medium Physics
A gas expands against a constant external pressure of 2 atm. The work done by the gas is -500 J. What is the change in volume?
A-2.47 L
B2.47 L
C-5.07 L
D5.07 L
Correct Answer:  B. 2.47 L
Explanation:

Work done against constant pressure: W = -PΔV. Given W = -500 J and P = 2 atm = 2 × 101325 Pa. ΔV = -W/P = 500/(2 × 101325) ≈ 2.47 × 10⁻³ m³ = 2.47 L.
