A machine does 500 J of work in 10 seconds. Its power is MCQ with Answer and Explanation

A machine does 500 J of work in 10 seconds. Its power is
A. 5000 W
B. 0.5 W
C. 5 W
D. 50 W
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Power = work/time = 500/10 = 50 W. Watt = Joule/second. This is average power. Simple division. Higher power means faster rate of doing work.

Question #1
The dimensions of surface tension are the same as that of:
A. Spring constant
B. Pressure
C. Force
D. Viscosity

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Surface tension is defined as Force per unit length (F/L). Dimensional formula: [MLT⁻²] / [L] = [MT⁻²]. A spring constant (k) is defined by Hooke's Law as Force per unit extension (F/x), which also has dimensions [MLT⁻²] / [L] = [MT⁻²]. Thus, both share the same dimensional formula.

Question #2
Who formulated the Planetary Model of the atom, proposing that electrons orbit the nucleus in specific, quantized circular orbits?
A. Niels Bohr
B. Albert Einstein
C. J. J. Thomson
D. Ernest Rutherford

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Niels Bohr proposed the Bohr model of the atom in 1913. He improved upon Rutherford's model by introducing quantum theory, suggesting that electrons travel in discrete, quantized orbits around the nucleus without radiating energy, and that energy is only emitted or absorbed when an electron jumps between these specific orbits.
