A ball is projected horizontally from top of a cliff. The time to hit ground depends on MCQ with Answer and Explanation

A ball is projected horizontally from top of a cliff. The time to hit ground depends on
A. Both velocity and height
B. Height of cliff and g
C. Mass of ball
D. Horizontal velocity
Answer: Option B
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
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.

Question #1
When an ambulance with a blaring siren moves towards an observer, the pitch of the siren appears to be higher. This is due to:
A. Acoustic resonance
B. The Doppler Effect
C. Reverberation
D. Interference of sound waves

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
The Doppler Effect is the apparent change in the frequency (and thus pitch) of a wave due to the relative motion between the source and the observer. As the ambulance approaches, sound waves get compressed, increasing the perceived frequency (higher pitch). As it moves away, waves stretch, lowering the frequency.

Question #2
Which of the following is not a fundamental unit in SI?
A. Kelvin
B. Ampere
C. Newton
D. Kilogram

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Fundamental units: kg, m, s, A, K, mol, cd. Newton is derived (kg m/s²). Therefore, Newton is not fundamental. Remember the seven base units.

A hydraulic press has area ratio 10:1. A force of 20 N on small piston can lift load of
A. 20 N
B. 2000 N
C. 2 N
D. 200 N

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Pascal's law: F₁/A₁ = F₂/A₂ => F₂ = (A₂/A₁) F₁ = 10×20 = 200 N.
