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. Both B and C
B. 4.2 J
C. 1 cal
D. 1 J
Answer: Option A
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.

1 kWh of energy equals
A. 3.6 J
B. 3.6 × 10⁸ J
C. 3.6 × 10³ J
D. 3.6 × 10⁶ J

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
1 kWh = 1000 W × 3600 s = 3.6 × 10⁶ J. Important conversion.

Question #2
Heat required to convert 1 g of ice at 0°C to water at 0°C is (latent heat 80 cal/g)
A. 80 cal
B. 1 cal
C. 540 cal
D. 100 cal

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Latent heat of fusion of ice = 80 cal/g. So 1 g needs 80 cal. No temperature change.

Question #3
A body starts from rest and moves with uniform acceleration a. The ratio of distances covered in the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd seconds of motion is:
A. 1:1:1
B. 1:4:9
C. 1:2:3
D. 1:3:5

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Distance covered in nth second: sₙ = u + a(2n-1)/2. With u=0, sₙ ∝ (2n-1). For n=1: 2(1)-1=1; n=2: 3; n=3:5. Thus ratio 1:3:5. This result holds for any uniformly accelerated motion starting from rest. The distances covered in successive equal time intervals follow odd number ratio. Memory aid: This is a standard result derivable from s = ut + ½at² by calculating s at t=n and t=n-1. Frequently appears in competitive exams testing equation of motion applications.
