Escape velocity depends on: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Escape velocity depends on:
A. Projectile mass
B. Atmosphere
C. Launch angle
D. Planet mass and radius
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
v_e = √(2GM/R): depends on planet's M and R, independent of projectile mass or launch direction. Memory tip: 'v_e ∝ √(M/R); property of planet, not projectile'. Gravitation concept frequently tested in competitive exams.

Question #1
In parallel circuit, which quantity is same across branches?
A. Voltage
B. Current
C. Resistance
D. Power

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Parallel branches share same voltage (potential difference). Current divides inversely with resistance. Memory aid: 'Parallel: same voltage; Series: same current'. Fundamental circuit property frequently tested in competitive exams to assess basic electronics understanding.

Question #2
The percentage error in measurement of a cube's side is 2%. Maximum percentage error in its volume is:
A. 6%
B. 4%
C. 2%
D. 8%

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Volume V = a³. For error propagation: % error in V = 3 × % error in a. Given 2% error in side, volume error = 3×2% = 6%. Power rule: if Q = xⁿ, %ΔQ = |n|×%Δx. Memory tip: Volume depends on cube of length ⇒ errors triple. Common in experimental error analysis questions.
