Question #1
A ball is projected horizontally from top of a cliff. The time to hit ground depends on
A. Horizontal velocity
B. Both velocity and height
C. Height of cliff and g
D. Mass of ball

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Vertical motion is independent of horizontal. t = √(2h/g). Mass doesn't affect. Horizontal velocity affects range, not time of fall. Projectile motion independence of perpendicular components.

Question #2
When an ambulance with a blaring siren moves towards an observer, the pitch of the siren appears to be higher. This is due to:
A. Reverberation
B. Interference of sound waves
C. Acoustic resonance
D. The Doppler Effect

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
The Doppler Effect is the apparent change in the frequency (and thus pitch) of a wave due to the relative motion between the source and the observer. As the ambulance approaches, sound waves get compressed, increasing the perceived frequency (higher pitch). As it moves away, waves stretch, lowering the frequency.

A fuse wire has
A. High melting point, high resistance
B. High melting point, low resistance
C. Low melting point, high resistance
D. Low melting point, low resistance

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Fuse wire must melt easily (low MP) and develop enough heat (high R) to break circuit on overload.
