Assertion (A): In a free fall, a heavy object falls faster than a light object. Reason (R): Acceleration due to gravity is same for all objects. MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Assertion (A): In a free fall, a heavy object falls faster than a light object. Reason (R): Acceleration due to gravity is same for all objects.
A. A is false, R is true
B. A is true, R is false
C. Both A and R true, R not correct explanation
D. Both A and R true, R is correct explanation
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
In vacuum, all objects fall at same rate. A is false. R is true. So C correct.

Question #2
The binding energy per nucleon is maximum for:
A. Uranium
B. Hydrogen
C. Helium
D. Iron

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Binding energy per nucleon peaks around iron-56 (≈8.8 MeV/nucleon), making it the most stable nucleus. Lighter nuclei release energy via fusion; heavier via fission. Hydrogen has near-zero binding energy per nucleon; uranium ≈7.6 MeV/nucleon. Memory aid: 'Iron peak: most stable nucleus; fusion before, fission after'. This nuclear physics concept is frequently tested in competitive exams. Always link binding energy curve to energy release in stars (fusion) and reactors (fission).

Question #3
LCR resonance condition:
A. X_L = X_C
B. R = 0
C. f = 0
D. Z maximum

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Resonance: ωL = 1/(ωC) ⇒ ω = 1/√(LC). At this frequency, impedance minimum (Z=R), current maximum. Memory tip: 'Resonance: X_L = X_C; series: Z_min, current max'. AC circuit concept frequently tested in competitive exams.
