A force of 5 N gives mass m1 acceleration 8 m/s² and mass m2 acceleration 24 m/s². What acceleration would it give if both masses tied together? MCQ with Answer and Explanation

A force of 5 N gives mass m1 acceleration 8 m/s² and mass m2 acceleration 24 m/s². What acceleration would it give if both masses tied together?
A. 16 m/s²
B. 6 m/s²
C. 4 m/s²
D. 32 m/s²
Answer: Option B
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
m1 = 5/8 = 0.625 kg, m2 = 5/24 ≈ 0.2083 kg. Total m=0.8333 kg. a = 5/0.8333 ≈ 6 m/s².

Question #1
A 100 W bulb operates at 200 V. Its resistance is
A. 200 Ω
B. 50 Ω
C. 100 Ω
D. 400 Ω

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Power P = V²/R => R = V²/P = 200²/100 = 40000/100 = 400 Ω. Also current I = P/V = 0.5 A, R = V/I = 200/0.5 = 400 Ω. Use P = V²/R for direct calculation.

Question #2
Myopia correction uses:
A. Bifocal lens
B. Concave lens
C. Cylindrical lens
D. Convex lens

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Myopia (nearsightedness): far point reduced; corrected by concave (diverging) lens to shift image to retina. Hypermetropia uses convex lens. Memory tip: 'Myopia = near-sighted ⇒ concave lens; Hyper = far-sighted ⇒ convex'. Vision defect correction frequently tested in competitive exams to assess application knowledge.

Question #3
SONAR technology utilizes which type of waves?
A. Ultrasonic waves
B. Visible light
C. Infrasonic waves
D. Radio waves

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
SONAR (Sound Navigation and Ranging) uses ultrasonic waves (frequency > 20 kHz) because they have high directionality, short wavelength for better resolution, and minimal absorption in water. Radio waves attenuate rapidly in water; infrasonic waves have long wavelengths unsuitable for detection; light doesn't propagate far in water. Memory tip: 'Ultra = beyond human hearing; used in SONAR/ultrasound imaging'. This application question tests knowledge of wave frequency ranges and their practical uses, common in competitive exams linking physics to technology. Always recall frequency thresholds: infrasonic 20kHz.
