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. 1.5 s
C. 2 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
The phenomenon of superconductivity is characterized by:
A. Infinite electrical resistance
B. High thermal conductivity
C. Zero magnetic permeability
D. Zero electrical resistance below critical temperature

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Superconductivity occurs in certain materials below a critical temperature T_c, where electrical resistance drops abruptly to zero, and magnetic fields are expelled (Meissner effect). Option B describes insulators; C and D are unrelated. Memory aid: 'Superconductor: R=0 below T_c; perfect diamagnetism'. This modern physics concept is frequently tested in competitive exams. Always distinguish superconductivity (zero resistance) from perfect conductivity (theoretical limit); real superconductors exhibit Meissner effect, a defining property.

Beats frequency = |f₁ - f₂|. For 256 Hz and 260 Hz, beats per second:
A. 258
B. 4
C. 2
D. 516

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Beat frequency = |260 - 256| = 4 Hz ⇒ 4 beats/second. Interference of close frequencies causes amplitude modulation. Memory aid: 'Beats = frequency difference; used in tuning instruments'. Wave interference calculation frequently tested in competitive exams.

Question #3
A body of mass m is taken from Earth's surface to a height equal to twice Earth's radius. Change in potential energy is
A. mgR/3
B. mgR
C. 3mgR
D. 2mgR/3

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
ΔU = GMm (1/R - 1/(R+2R)) = GMm (1/R - 1/3R) = (2/3)GMm/R = (2/3)mgR.
