A car moving with speed 20 m/s applies brakes and stops in 5 s. The distance covered during braking is MCQ with Answer and Explanation

A car moving with speed 20 m/s applies brakes and stops in 5 s. The distance covered during braking is
A. 25 m
B. 200 m
C. 100 m
D. 50 m
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
u=20, v=0, t=5, a = (0-20)/5 = -4 m/s². s = ut + ½at² = 20×5 + ½×(-4)×25 = 100 - 50 = 50 m. Or average velocity = (20+0)/2 = 10 m/s, distance = 10×5 = 50 m.

Question #1
A 1000 W heater is used for 2 hours. Energy consumed in kWh is
A. 2000 kWh
B. 1000 kWh
C. 2 kWh
D. 0.5 kWh

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Power = 1 kW (1000 W). Time = 2 h. Energy = Power × time = 1 × 2 = 2 kWh. 1 kWh = 3.6 × 10⁶ J, but here answer in kWh. Commercial unit.

Question #2
An electric heater of resistance 10 Ω draws current 5 A. Power consumed is
A. 500 W
B. 2 W
C. 50 W
D. 250 W

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
P = I²R = 5² × 10 = 25 × 10 = 250 W. Also P = VI, but V not given. Can find V = IR = 50 V, then P = 50×5 = 250 W.

Question #3
Three resistors of 2Ω, 3Ω, and 6Ω are connected in parallel. The equivalent resistance is:
A. 1Ω
B. 11Ω
C. 6Ω
D. 0.5Ω

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
For parallel combination: 1/R_eq = 1/R₁ + 1/R₂ + 1/R₃ = 1/2 + 1/3 + 1/6 = (3+2+1)/6 = 6/6 = 1. Thus R_eq = 1Ω. Note: Equivalent resistance in parallel is always less than the smallest individual resistance (here 2Ω). Memory tip: 'Parallel: reciprocal sum; result < min(R)'. This standard calculation tests parallel resistance formula application, frequently appearing in competitive exams. Always simplify fractions carefully; common denominator method avoids errors. Verify: 1Ω < 2Ω, consistent with parallel behavior.
