A body falls freely from rest. The ratio of distances covered in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd seconds is MCQ with Answer and Explanation

A body falls freely from rest. The ratio of distances covered in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd seconds is
A. 1:1:1
B. 1:3:5
C. 1:4:9
D. 1:2:3
Answer: Option B
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
s_nth = u + (g/2)(2n-1). u=0 => s ∝ (2n-1). So 1, 3, 5. Classic kinematic ratio.

Question #1
A machine does 500 J of work in 10 seconds. Its power is
A. 5000 W
B. 50 W
C. 5 W
D. 0.5 W

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Power = work/time = 500/10 = 50 W. Watt = Joule/second. This is average power. Simple division. Higher power means faster rate of doing work.

Question #2
Assertion (A): Gamma rays are fundamentally un-deflected by electric and magnetic fields. Reason (R): Gamma rays carry no electrical charge.
A. Both A and R are true but R is NOT the correct explanation of A.
B. A is true but R is false.
C. A is false but R is true.
D. Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Electric fields deflect charged particles via Coulomb forces (F=qE), and magnetic fields deflect moving charged particles via Lorentz forces (F=qvB). Gamma rays are purely high-energy electromagnetic photons. Because they lack any electrical charge (q=0), both electric and magnetic forces on them are exactly zero. Therefore, they pass through fields completely un-deflected. R explains A perfectly.

Question #3
A car decelerates uniformly from 20 m/s to rest in 4 s. Distance covered is
A. 80 m
B. 40 m
C. 20 m
D. 60 m

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
a = (0-20)/4 = -5 m/s². s = 20×4 + ½(-5)×16 = 80 - 40 = 40 m. Or average velocity 10 m/s × 4 = 40 m.
