Question #1
A ball is thrown vertically upward with speed 20 m/s. The maximum height reached (g = 10 m/s²) is
A. 20 m
B. 10 m
C. 40 m
D. 200 m

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Using v² = u² - 2gH, at maximum height v = 0. So 0 = 20² - 2×10×H => 400 = 20H => H = 20 m. Alternative formula: H = u²/(2g) = 400/20 = 20 m. Remember to use consistent units. For quick calculation, u²/(2g) is handy.

Question #2
Which of the following is NOT a fundamental SI unit?
A. Coulomb
B. Kelvin
C. Candela
D. Ampere

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Coulomb is the SI unit of electric charge, but it is a derived unit (Ampere × second). The seven fundamental SI units are meter (length), kilogram (mass), second (time), Kelvin (temperature), Ampere (electric current), candela (luminous intensity), and mole (amount of substance). Electric current is fundamental, making Ampere fundamental, not Coulomb.

Question #3
The image formed by a concave lens is always
A. Virtual, inverted, magnified
B. Real, erect, magnified
C. Real, inverted, diminished
D. Virtual, erect, diminished

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Concave lens diverges light, always forms virtual, erect, diminished image on same side as object. Used in spectacles for myopia.
