A 2 kg object is raised to a height of 5 m. The work done against gravity (g=10) is MCQ with Answer and Explanation

A 2 kg object is raised to a height of 5 m. The work done against gravity (g=10) is
A. 0 J
B. 10 J
C. 50 J
D. 100 J
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Work = mgh = 2 × 10 × 5 = 100 J. Force = mg = 20 N, distance 5 m, work = 20 × 5 = 100 J. This becomes potential energy stored.

Question #1
A typical household refrigerator works by forcing a refrigerant fluid through a cycle of:
A. Ionization and recombination
B. Sublimation and deposition
C. Nuclear fission and fusion
D. Evaporation and condensation

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
A refrigerator is a heat pump operating in reverse. A compressor squeezes the refrigerant gas, raising its temperature. As it passes through coils on the back (condenser), it releases heat and condenses into a liquid. This liquid expands through a valve, cooling rapidly, and flows into the evaporator coils inside the fridge, where it absorbs heat from the food and evaporates back into a gas.

Question #2
A wire of resistance 10 Ω is stretched to double its length. Its new resistance is
A. 40 Ω
B. 5 Ω
C. 20 Ω
D. 10 Ω

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Resistance R = ρL/A. Volume constant: A ∝ 1/L. Stretching length to 2L reduces area to A/2. New R' = ρ(2L)/(A/2) = 4ρL/A = 4R = 40 Ω. Resistance proportional to (length)² when volume constant.

Question #3
Gravitational force between two masses varies with distance r as:
A. 1/r²
B. 1/r
C. r
D. r²

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Newton's law: F = Gm₁m₂/r² ⇒ F ∝ 1/r². Inverse square law fundamental to gravitation, electrostatics, and radiation intensity. Memory aid: 'Gravity weakens with square of distance; double distance ⇒ force becomes 1/4'. Core concept frequently tested to verify understanding of fundamental force laws in competitive exams.
