A ball thrown upward returns to thrower after 6 s. Maximum height reached (g=10 m/s²) is MCQ with Answer and Explanation

A ball thrown upward returns to thrower after 6 s. Maximum height reached (g=10 m/s²) is
A. 45 m
B. 180 m
C. 30 m
D. 90 m
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Total time of flight T = 2u/g => u = gT/2 = 10×6/2 = 30 m/s. Max height H = u²/(2g) = 900/20 = 45 m. Alternatively, time to max height = 3 s, H = ½g t² = ½×10×9 = 45 m.

Question #2
The law of conservation of energy states that
A. Total energy always increases
B. Energy can be created but not destroyed
C. Energy can be destroyed but not created
D. Energy can neither be created nor destroyed, only transformed

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
First law of thermodynamics: Energy is conserved in an isolated system. It changes forms (kinetic to potential etc.) but total constant. Perpetual motion machine impossible.

Question #3
Weight of 10 kg mass on Moon (g_moon ≈ g_earth/6) is:
A. 16.7 N
B. 60 N
C. 10 N
D. 100 N

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Weight W = mg. On Earth: 10×10 = 100 N. On Moon: g_moon ≈ 10/6 ≈ 1.67 m/s². W_moon = 10×1.67 ≈ 16.7 N. Mass remains 10 kg; weight changes with gravity. Memory tip: 'Mass constant; weight ∝ g'. Tests mass-weight distinction and gravity variation, common conceptual question in competitive exams.
