A bullet of mass 20 g fired from a gun of mass 5 kg with velocity 200 m/s. Recoil velocity of gun is MCQ with Answer and Explanation

A bullet of mass 20 g fired from a gun of mass 5 kg with velocity 200 m/s. Recoil velocity of gun is
A. 1 m/s
B. 2 m/s
C. 0.8 m/s
D. 0.4 m/s
Answer: Option C
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Conservation of momentum: 0 = (0.02×200) + (5×v) => v = -4/5 = -0.8 m/s (magnitude 0.8 m/s).

Question #2
A projectile is launched at 30° with speed 20 m/s. Horizontal range is: (g=10 m/s²)
A. 10√3 m
B. 20 m
C. 20√3 m
D. 40 m

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Range R = u²sin(2θ)/g = (20)²×sin(60°)/10 = 400×(√3/2)/10 = 20√3 m. Formula applies for level ground projection. Memory tip: sin(2θ) for θ=30° is sin60°=√3/2. Standard projectile calculation frequently appearing in competitive exams with trigonometric values.

Question #3
The internal energy of an ideal gas depends only on:
A. Volume
B. Both pressure and volume
C. Temperature
D. Pressure

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
For an ideal gas, internal energy U depends solely on temperature (U = f/2 nRT, where f is degrees of freedom). This follows from kinetic theory: no intermolecular forces, so energy is purely kinetic, proportional to T. Pressure and volume can change at constant T (isothermal process) without changing U. Memory tip: 'Ideal gas: U = U(T) only; real gases have volume dependence'. This thermodynamics concept is frequently tested in competitive exams. Always distinguish ideal vs real gas behavior; competitive exams typically assume ideal gas unless specified.
