Question #1
An echo is heard after 2 seconds from a cliff. If speed of sound is 340 m/s, distance of cliff is
A. 170 m
B. 340 m
C. 510 m
D. 680 m

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Sound travels to cliff and back. Total distance = speed × time = 340 × 2 = 680 m. So distance to cliff = 680/2 = 340 m. Use formula d = (v × t)/2. Time for round trip. Minimum distance for echo 17 m (approx) for 0.1 s persistence.

Question #2
Binding energy per nucleon peaks at:
A. Uranium
B. Helium
C. Iron
D. Hydrogen

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Maximum binding energy/nucleon ≈ 8.8 MeV at iron-56, making it most stable. Lighter nuclei release energy via fusion; heavier via fission. Memory tip: 'Iron peak: most stable nucleus; fusion before, fission after'. Nuclear physics concept frequently tested in competitive exams.

Question #3
A body is moving with uniform speed in a circular path. Which statement is correct?
A. Acceleration is zero
B. No force acts on the body
C. Velocity is constant
D. Acceleration is directed towards the center

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
In uniform circular motion, speed is constant but velocity direction changes continuously, requiring centripetal acceleration directed toward the center (a = v²/r). By Newton's second law, a centripetal force must act. Velocity isn't constant (direction changes); acceleration isn't zero; force is required. Memory tip: 'Uniform circular motion: constant speed, changing velocity, center-seeking acceleration'. This conceptual question tests understanding of circular dynamics, crucial for mechanics in competitive exams. Always distinguish speed (scalar) from velocity (vector) in motion analysis.
