Question #2
SHM acceleration a = -ω²x. Maximum acceleration occurs at:
A. Both positions
B. Extreme position
C. Neither
D. Mean position

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
a ∝ -x; magnitude maximum when |x| maximum (extremes). At mean position x=0 ⇒ a=0. Velocity maximum at mean position. Memory aid: 'SHM: a max at extremes, v max at center'. Oscillation concept frequently tested in competitive exams to verify SHM characteristics understanding.

Question #3
Water's high specific heat useful for:
A. Both
B. Neither
C. Engine cooling
D. Biological temperature regulation

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
High c = absorbs/releases large heat with small ΔT. Stabilizes engine temperatures and organism body temperatures. Memory tip: 'High specific heat = thermal buffer; water moderates climate and physiology'. Property application frequently tested in competitive exams.
