Question #1
The position-time graph of a particle is a parabola opening upwards. This indicates that the particle has:
A. Decreasing acceleration
B. Constant velocity
C. Increasing acceleration
D. Constant acceleration

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Position-time graph as parabola: x = x₀ + ut + ½at². This quadratic form indicates constant acceleration 'a'. If acceleration were changing, the graph would be cubic or higher order. Constant velocity would produce a straight line (linear graph). Upward opening parabola implies positive acceleration. Graph interpretation skill is essential: slope of x-t graph = velocity; curvature indicates acceleration. Memory tip: Parabolic x-t graph ⇔ constant acceleration; linear x-t graph ⇔ constant velocity. Competitive exams frequently test graph-concept correlations.

Question #2
The energy of an object due to its specific position or configuration is known as:
A. Thermal Energy
B. Kinetic Energy
C. Mechanical Energy
D. Potential Energy

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Potential energy is the stored energy an object possesses due to its position relative to other objects, stresses within itself, its electric charge, or other factors. For example, water stored in a dam has gravitational potential energy, and a compressed spring has elastic potential energy.

Question #3
The half-life of a radioactive substance is 5 years. The fraction disintegrated after 15 years is
A. 1/3
B. 1/8
C. 1/2
D. 7/8

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
After 3 half-lives, remaining = (1/2)³ = 1/8, so disintegrated = 1 - 1/8 = 7/8. Fraction disintegrated = 7/8. Option A remaining. So B.
