A car starts from rest and accelerates uniformly at 2 m/s² for 10 s. Distance covered in 10th second is MCQ with Answer and Explanation

A car starts from rest and accelerates uniformly at 2 m/s² for 10 s. Distance covered in 10th second is
A. 19 m
B. 10 m
C. 2 m
D. 20 m
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
s_nth = u + (a/2)(2n-1) = 0 + (2/2)(20-1) = 19 m.

Question #1
Angular momentum dimensions:
A. [ML²T⁻¹]
B. [M⁰L⁰T⁰]
C. [MLT⁻¹]
D. [ML²T⁻²]

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
L = r × p: [L][MLT⁻¹] = [ML²T⁻¹]. Same as Planck's constant. Memory tip: 'Angular momentum: [ML²T⁻¹]; action quantities share dimensions'. Dimensional analysis frequently tested in competitive exams.

Question #2
The time taken for a radioactive sample to decay to 1/16th of its initial activity is:
A. 8 half-lives
B. 3 half-lives
C. 2 half-lives
D. 4 half-lives

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
After n half-lives, activity reduces to (1/2)ⁿ of initial. Set (1/2)ⁿ = 1/16 ⇒ (1/2)ⁿ = (1/2)⁴ ⇒ n = 4 half-lives. Thus time = 4 × half-life. Memory aid: '1/2ⁿ remaining after n half-lives; 1/16 = 1/2⁴ ⇒ 4 half-lives'. This radioactivity calculation is frequently tested in competitive exams. Always express fraction as power of 1/2 to find half-life count. This problem assesses understanding of exponential decay without heavy computation.

Question #3
The dimensional formula of coefficient of viscosity is
A. [ML⁻²T]
B. [M⁰LT⁻¹]
C. [ML⁻¹T⁻¹]
D. [MLT⁻¹]

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Viscosity η = Force/(Area × velocity gradient). Force [MLT⁻²], area [L²], velocity gradient [T⁻¹]. So η = [MLT⁻²]/([L²][T⁻¹]) = [ML⁻¹T⁻¹]. Often asked.
