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. 4 m/s²
B. 16 m/s²
C. 32 m/s²
D. 6 m/s²
Answer: Option D
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
The magnetic field lines around a straight current-carrying conductor are:
A. Circular and concentric around conductor
B. Radial and outward
C. Straight and parallel to conductor
D. Elliptical

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Magnetic field lines form concentric circles around a straight current-carrying wire, with direction given by right-hand thumb rule (thumb in current direction, fingers curl in field direction). This is derived from Biot-Savart law or Ampère's circuital law. Memory tip: 'Right-hand rule: thumb = current, fingers = field circles'. This fundamental field pattern is frequently tested in competitive exams. Always visualize field direction: for current toward you, field lines are counterclockwise. Distinguish from solenoid field (axial inside) or bar magnet (dipole pattern).

Question #2
A projectile is fired at an angle of 45 degrees to the horizontal. The ratio of its maximum height to its horizontal range is:
A. 2:1
B. 1:4
C. 1:2
D. 4:1

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
The maximum height H = (u^2 * sin^2(theta)) / 2g. The horizontal range R = (u^2 * sin(2theta)) / g. For an angle of 45 degrees, sin(45) = 1/sqrt(2) and sin(90) = 1. H = (u^2 * 0.5) / 2g = u^2 / 4g. R = u^2 / g. Therefore, H/R = (u^2/4g) / (u^2/g) = 1/4. The ratio is 1:4.

Question #3
A ship floats because its density is
A. Greater than water
B. Equal to water
C. Less than water on average
D. Zero

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Ship is made of steel (density > water) but hollow shape makes average density (including air) less than water. Displaced water weight equals ship's weight, buoyancy holds it up.
