A person weighs 60 kg on Earth. His weight on moon will be (g_moon = g/6) MCQ with Answer and Explanation

A person weighs 60 kg on Earth. His weight on moon will be (g_moon = g/6)
A. 360 kg
B. 10 kg
C. 6 kg
D. 60 kg
Answer: Option B
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Weight = mg. On moon, weight = 60×(g/6)/g = 10 kg wt. Mass remains 60 kg, but weight is 10 kg force.

Question #1
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. 32 m/s²
B. 6 m/s²
C. 4 m/s²
D. 16 m/s²

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
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 #2
A body is thrown vertically upwards. At the highest point of its trajectory:
A. Velocity is zero but acceleration is g downward
B. Both velocity and acceleration are maximum
C. Velocity is maximum and acceleration is zero
D. Velocity and acceleration are zero

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
At maximum height, vertical velocity becomes zero momentarily. However, acceleration due to gravity (g) acts downward throughout the motion, including at the peak. Thus acceleration is g ≈ 9.8 m/s² downward, not zero. Memory tip: 'Peak of projectile: v=0, a=g downward'. This conceptual question tests understanding of motion under gravity, frequently appearing in competitive exams. Always distinguish velocity (which changes) from acceleration (constant in free fall near Earth). Misconception that acceleration is zero at peak is a common trap.

Question #3
Capacitor charging work stored as:
A. Heat
B. Chemical energy
C. Magnetic energy
D. Electrostatic energy

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Work done stored in electric field between plates: U = ½CV². Recoverable on discharge. Memory aid: 'Capacitor energy = ½CV² in electric field'. Electrostatics concept frequently tested in competitive exams.
