Physics
A. 8 J
B. 16 J
C. 32 J
D. 4 J
Answer: KE = ½ mv² = ½ × 2 × 4² = ½ × 2 × 16 = 16 J
Physics
A. Joule
B. Watt
C. Newton
D. Pascal
Answer: Energy has the same unit as work, which is Joule (J)
Physics
A. 10 Ω
B. 2.4 Ω
C. 24 Ω
D. 5 Ω
Answer: 1/R = 1/4 + 1/6 = (3+2)/12 = 5/12 → R = 12/5 = 2.4 Ω
Physics
A. lambda = h/mv
B. lambda = mv/h
C. lambda = h/m
D. lambda = hv/m
Answer: lambda = h/p = h/mv, wave-particle duality.
Physics
A. Pascal
B. Newton
C. Joule
D. Watt
Answer: Pressure = Force/Area, so SI unit is N/m² = Pascal (Pa)
Physics
A. 2 m/s²
B. 50 m/s²
C. 20 m/s²
D. 100 m/s²
Answer: a = v²/r = 100/5 = 20 m/s²
Physics
A. 20 J
B. 200 J
C. 50 J
D. 100 J
Answer: W = mgh = 10 × 10 × 2 = 200 J
Physics
A. 170 Hz
B. 680 Hz
C. 342 Hz
D. 1700 Hz
Answer: f = v/λ = 340/2 = 170 Hz
Physics
A. 20 cm
B. 10 cm
C. Infinite
D. 5 cm
Answer: By mirror/lens formula 1/f = 1/v + 1/u → 1/10 = 1/v + 1/20 → v = 20 cm
Physics
A. 10 m/s
B. 15 m/s
C. 20 m/s
D. 25 m/s
Answer: v = u + at = 0 + 2 × 5 = 10 m/s
Physics
A. 30 kg·m/s
B. 11 kg·m/s
C. 36 kg·m/s
D. 1.2 kg·m/s
Answer: p = mv = 5 × 6 = 30 kg·m/s
Physics
A. All element spectra
B. Hydrogen line spectrum
C. Continuous spectra
D. X-ray spectra
Answer: Bohr\'s model explained the hydrogen line spectrum.
Physics
A. Maximum
B. Zero
C. Negative
D. Same as initial
Answer: At the highest point of vertical motion, the instantaneous velocity becomes zero before the body starts falling down.
Physics
A. 20 m/s²
B. 5 m/s²
C. 12 m/s²
D. 8 m/s²
Answer: a = F/m = 10/2 = 5 m/s²
Physics
A. Air
B. Water
C. Vacuum
D. Steel
Answer: Sound is a mechanical wave and requires a medium to propagate; it cannot travel through vacuum.
Physics
A. E = h nu
B. E = mv2
C. E = mc2
D. E = Fd
Answer: E = h nu, where h is Planck\'s constant.
Physics

Answer: Einstein used photon theory to explain photoelectric effect.
Physics
A. V = IR
B. V = I/R
C. I = VR
D. R = VI
Answer: Ohm\'s law states that the voltage across a conductor is directly proportional to the current flowing through it, V = IR.
Physics
