A ball is dropped from a height of 20 m. Time to reach ground (g=10) is MCQ with Answer and Explanation

A ball is dropped from a height of 20 m. Time to reach ground (g=10) is
A. 2 s
B. 3 s
C. 1 s
D. 4 s
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
h = ½gt² => t = √(2h/g) = √(40/10) = √4 = 2 s. Free fall formula. Final velocity v = gt = 20 m/s.

Question #1
The phenomenon of polarization is used in:
A. Both (a) and (b)
B. Neither
C. Sunglasses to reduce glare
D. LCD displays

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Polarized sunglasses use polarizing filters to block horizontally polarized glare reflected from surfaces (water, roads). LCD displays use liquid crystals to rotate polarization, controlling light transmission through polarizers. Memory tip: 'Polarization applications: glare reduction (sunglasses), display technology (LCDs), 3D movies'. This application question tests wave optics uses, frequently appearing in competitive exams. Always link physical principles to everyday technologies; competitive exams emphasize practical relevance of physics concepts, making abstract phenomena tangible through common devices.

Question #2
The dimensional formula of surface tension is
A. [ML⁻¹T⁻²]
B. [MLT⁻²]
C. [ML⁰T⁻²]
D. [MT⁻²]

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Surface tension = force/length. Force dimensions [MLT⁻²], length [L], so [MLT⁻²]/[L] = [MT⁻²]. Also energy per area gives same dimensions: [ML²T⁻²]/[L²] = [MT⁻²].
