A car travels 30 m in 2 s with uniform acceleration starting from rest. Acceleration is MCQ with Answer and Explanation

A car travels 30 m in 2 s with uniform acceleration starting from rest. Acceleration is
A. 15 m/s²
B. 7.5 m/s²
C. 30 m/s²
D. 3.75 m/s²
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
s = ½ a t² => 30 = ½ a (4) => a = 15 m/s².

Question #1
Which of the following colours has the longest wavelength?
A. Violet
B. Green
C. Blue
D. Red

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Visible spectrum: red ~700 nm, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet ~400 nm. Red has longest wavelength, lowest frequency. Violet shortest wavelength, highest frequency. Remember VIBGYOR.

Question #2
The energy of a photon is directly proportional to its:
A. Amplitude
B. Frequency
C. Speed
D. Wavelength

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Photon energy E = hν, where h is Planck's constant, ν is frequency. Thus E ∝ ν. Since c = νλ, E = hc/λ, so E ∝ 1/λ (inversely proportional to wavelength). Amplitude relates to intensity (number of photons), not individual photon energy. Speed is constant (c) in vacuum. Memory aid: 'Higher frequency (shorter wavelength) photons have more energy (e.g., gamma > radio)'. This quantum physics concept is frequently tested in competitive exams. Always use E = hν for photon energy calculations; avoid confusing wave amplitude with photon energy.

Question #3
The phenomenon of beats can be observed when two sound waves have:
A. Slightly different frequencies
B. Same frequency but different amplitudes
C. Very different frequencies
D. Same frequency and amplitude

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Beats occur due to interference of two waves with slightly different frequencies (Δf small, typically < 10 Hz for audible beats). The beat frequency is |f₁ - f₂|, causing periodic loudness variation. Same frequency (A, B) produces steady interference (no beats); very different frequencies (D) produce rapid fluctuations not perceived as beats. Memory aid: 'Beats: |f₁ - f₂| small ⇒ audible pulsations; used in tuning'. This wave phenomenon question tests superposition understanding, frequently examined in competitive exams. Always link beat perception to frequency difference magnitude; competitive exams often test qualitative conditions for observable beats.
