Question #1
A car accelerates uniformly from rest to a speed of 72 km/h in 10 seconds. What is the distance covered during this time?
A. 100 m
B. 400 m
C. 200 m
D. 720 m

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
First, convert speed to SI units: 72 km/h = 72 × (5/18) m/s = 20 m/s. Initial velocity (u) = 0, final velocity (v) = 20 m/s, time (t) = 10 s. Acceleration (a) = (v-u)/t = 20/10 = 2 m/s². Distance (s) = ut + (1/2)at² = 0 + 0.5 × 2 × 10² = 100 meters.

Question #2
The loudness of sound depends on
A. Wavelength
B. Speed
C. Frequency
D. Amplitude

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Loudness correlates with intensity, which is proportional to square of amplitude. Frequency determines pitch. Larger amplitude → louder sound. Measured in decibels.

Question #3
The process of combining two light nuclei to form a heavier nucleus is
A. Fission
B. Chain reaction
C. Fusion
D. Radioactive decay

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Nuclear fusion: e.g., hydrogen isotopes deuterium and tritium fuse to helium, releasing energy. Powers Sun and stars. Requires high temperature (thermonuclear). Fusion reactor under development.
