A 2 kg mass moving at 4 m/s collides elastically with a stationary 2 kg mass. After collision, first mass MCQ with Answer and Explanation

A 2 kg mass moving at 4 m/s collides elastically with a stationary 2 kg mass. After collision, first mass
A. Moves with 1 m/s
B. Stops
C. Moves with 2 m/s
D. Rebounds with 4 m/s
Answer: Option B
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Equal masses elastic collision: velocities swap. Moving mass stops, stationary moves with 4 m/s.

Question #2
The internal energy of an ideal gas depends only on:
A. Pressure
B. Temperature
C. Both pressure and volume
D. Volume

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
For an ideal gas, internal energy U depends solely on temperature (U = f/2 nRT, where f is degrees of freedom). This follows from kinetic theory: no intermolecular forces, so energy is purely kinetic, proportional to T. Pressure and volume can change at constant T (isothermal process) without changing U. Memory tip: 'Ideal gas: U = U(T) only; real gases have volume dependence'. This thermodynamics concept is frequently tested in competitive exams. Always distinguish ideal vs real gas behavior; competitive exams typically assume ideal gas unless specified.

Question #3
A ball is projected horizontally from top of a cliff. The time to hit ground depends on
A. Height of cliff and g
B. Mass of ball
C. Both velocity and height
D. Horizontal velocity

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Vertical motion is independent of horizontal. t = √(2h/g). Mass doesn't affect. Horizontal velocity affects range, not time of fall. Projectile motion independence of perpendicular components.
