Free fall: height h takes time t. Height 4h takes time: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Free fall: height h takes time t. Height 4h takes time:
A. t
B. t/2
C. 2t
D. 4t
Answer: Option C
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
h = ½gt² ⇒ t ∝ √h. If h' = 4h, t' = √4 × t = 2t. Time doubles when height quadruples. Memory aid: 'Free fall: t ∝ √h; 4× height ⇒ 2× time'. Kinematics proportionality frequently tested in competitive exams.

Who gave the law of floatation?
A. Newton
B. Bernoulli
C. Archimedes
D. Pascal

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Archimedes' principle: buoyant force = weight of displaced fluid. Law of floatation: floating body displaces fluid equal to its own weight. Archimedes discovered it. Pascal gave pressure law.

Question #3
Identify the logic gate that gives a HIGH (1) output only when both of its inputs are HIGH (1).
A. NAND gate
B. OR gate
C. AND gate
D. NOR gate

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Logic gates process digital signals. An AND gate acts like two switches in series. Current (a logic HIGH or 1) will only flow to the output if Switch A AND Switch B are closed (HIGH). The truth table for an AND gate shows output = 1 solely when Input A = 1 and Input B = 1. In all other combinations, the output is strictly 0.
