Question #1
A car moving at 72 km/h is brought to rest in 10 seconds. The deceleration is
A. 20 m/s²
B. 2.5 m/s²
C. 2 m/s²
D. 7.2 m/s²

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
72 km/h = 72 × (5/18) = 20 m/s. Initial velocity u = 20 m/s, final v = 0, t = 10 s. Using v = u + at => 0 = 20 + a×10 => a = -2 m/s², so deceleration magnitude is 2 m/s². Conversion factor 5/18 is essential: multiply km/h by 5/18 to get m/s.

Question #2
A ball thrown upward returns to thrower after 6 s. Maximum height reached (g=10 m/s²) is
A. 90 m
B. 180 m
C. 30 m
D. 45 m

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Total time of flight T = 2u/g => u = gT/2 = 10×6/2 = 30 m/s. Max height H = u²/(2g) = 900/20 = 45 m. Alternatively, time to max height = 3 s, H = ½g t² = ½×10×9 = 45 m.

Question #3
The specific latent heat of fusion of ice is 336 kJ/kg. The heat required to melt 2 kg of ice at 0°C is:
A. 168 kJ
B. 336 kJ
C. 672 kJ
D. 1344 kJ

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Heat for phase change Q = m·L_f, where L_f is latent heat of fusion. Thus Q = 2 kg × 336 kJ/kg = 672 kJ. This direct application tests calorimetry fundamentals. Memory aid: 'Latent heat: Q = mL; no temperature change during phase transition'. Competitive exams frequently test such calculations with standard values. Always ensure units match (kg and kJ/kg here); convert if necessary. This problem assesses basic formula application skills essential for thermodynamics sections.
