Question #1
A 10 kg object is lifted to 5 m and then allowed to fall. Kinetic energy just before hitting ground (g=10) is
A. 250 J
B. 0 J
C. 500 J
D. 1000 J

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
PE at top = mgh = 10×10×5 = 500 J, converted to KE = 500 J (assuming no air resistance).

Question #2
The commercial unit of electrical energy is kWh. 1 kWh equals how many joules?
A. 3.6 × 10⁵ J
B. 3.6 × 10⁶ J
C. 3.6 × 10⁴ J
D. 3.6 × 10³ J

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
1 kWh = 1000 W × 3600 s = 3,600,000 J = 3.6 × 10⁶ J. This is a standard conversion. Power (watt) × time (hour) gives energy. 1 watt = 1 J/s. Remember this for electricity bills.
