Question #1
A cyclist moving at 18 km/h stops pedalling and comes to rest after 10 m due to friction. Deceleration is
A. 0.8 m/s²
B. 2.5 m/s²
C. 1.25 m/s²
D. 5 m/s²

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
18 km/h = 5 m/s. v² = u² + 2as => 0 = 5² + 2a×10 => 25 + 20a = 0 => a = -25/20 = -1.25 m/s², deceleration = 1.25 m/s². Negative acceleration.

Question #2
The device that converts AC to DC is
A. Oscillator
B. Amplifier
C. Transformer
D. Rectifier

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Rectifier uses diodes to convert AC to pulsating DC. Filter capacitors smooth it. Used in power supplies. Inverter does DC to AC. Transformer changes AC voltage.

Question #3
A person with myopia uses spectacles of power -2 D. Far point without glasses is
A. 50 cm
B. 2 m
C. 25 cm
D. Infinity

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
For myopia, corrective lens forms image of distant object at far point. 1/f = 1/(-far point) - 1/(-∞) => -2 = -1/F => F = 0.5 m = 50 cm.
