The amount of heat required to raise temperature of 1 g water by 1°C is MCQ with Answer and Explanation

The amount of heat required to raise temperature of 1 g water by 1°C is
A. 1 cal
B. 1 J
C. 4.2 J
D. Both B and C
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
1 cal = 4.186 J ≈ 4.2 J. So both are correct. However option D covers both. I'll set D as correct.

Question #3
The time period of a simple pendulum on the surface of the moon compared to its time period on Earth is:
A. Increased
B. The same
C. Decreased
D. Zero

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
The time period of a pendulum is T = 2 * pi * sqrt(L/g). The acceleration due to gravity on the moon (g_moon) is roughly 1/6th of that on Earth (g_earth). Since g decreases, and T is strictly inversely proportional to the square root of g, the time period T must increase. The pendulum will swing much slower.
