Sound resonance used in: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Sound resonance used in:
A. Musical instruments
B. Both
C. Neither
D. Tuning forks
Answer: Option B
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Resonance amplifies sound at natural frequency: instruments (guitar body), tuning forks (frequency standard). Memory tip: 'Resonance: musical instruments (amplify), tuning forks (calibration), avoid in bridges'. Wave application frequently tested in competitive exams.

Question #2
A particle moves along a circular path of radius r with constant speed v. Its acceleration is:
A. v²/r directed towards center
B. v²/r directed away from center
C. v/r directed tangentially
D. Zero

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
In uniform circular motion, speed is constant but velocity direction changes continuously, producing centripetal acceleration. Magnitude a = v²/r, direction always towards the center of the circle. This acceleration changes velocity direction without altering speed. Tangential acceleration would change speed, but here speed is constant. Formula derivation: From vector analysis of velocity change over small time interval. Exam tip: Remember 'centripetal' means 'center-seeking'; this concept is fundamental for rotational dynamics questions in competitive exams.

Question #3
A person of mass 60 kg stands on a weighing scale in an elevator accelerating upward at 2 m/s² (g=10). The reading is
A. 120 kg
B. 60 kg
C. 72 kg
D. 48 kg

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Apparent weight = m(g+a) = 60×(10+2) = 720 N, which corresponds to 72 kg mass on scale (if scale calibrated in kg under g=10). Reading 72 kg. Downward acceleration would reduce.
