A ball is thrown upward with velocity 30 m/s. Time to reach maximum height (g=10) is MCQ with Answer and Explanation

A ball is thrown upward with velocity 30 m/s. Time to reach maximum height (g=10) is
A. 6 s
B. 2 s
C. 1.5 s
D. 3 s
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
v = u - gt, at top v=0 => t = u/g = 30/10 = 3 s.

Question #1
A physical quantity is measured as 12.345 ± 0.005 units. The relative error in this measurement is approximately:
A. 0.004%
B. 0.4%
C. 4%
D. 0.04%

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Relative error = (Absolute error) / (Measured value) = 0.005 / 12.345 ≈ 0.000405. Converting to percentage: 0.000405 × 100% ≈ 0.0405% ≈ 0.04%. Relative error quantifies precision independent of measurement scale. Absolute error (±0.005) indicates instrument precision. This concept is vital for comparing measurement reliability across different magnitudes. Memory tip: Percentage error = (Absolute error / True value) × 100. Competitive exams often test this calculation with varying significant figures to assess numerical proficiency.
