Projectile peak: velocity and acceleration are: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Projectile peak: velocity and acceleration are:
A. Both zero
B. Both max
C. v=0, a=g downward
D. v max, a=0
Answer: Option C
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
At maximum height, vertical velocity = 0 momentarily, but acceleration = g downward throughout motion. Memory tip: 'Peak: v=0, a=g; gravity never switches off'. Kinematics concept frequently tested to correct misconception that acceleration vanishes at peak.

Question #3
Electric field due to point charge: E ∝
A. 1/r
B. r
C. 1/r²
D. r²

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Coulomb's law: E = kq/r² ⇒ E ∝ 1/r². Inverse square law fundamental to electrostatics and gravitation. Memory tip: 'Point charge field: inverse square; double distance ⇒ field becomes 1/4'. Electrostatics concept frequently tested in competitive exams.
