The escape velocity from Earth does not depend on MCQ with Answer and Explanation

The escape velocity from Earth does not depend on
A. Mass of Earth
B. Mass of the object
C. Universal gravitational constant
D. Radius of Earth
Answer: Option B
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
v_esc = √(2GM/R), independent of m. Heavier object needs more energy, but velocity same. All objects fall at same rate. Important concept.

Question #1
Uniform acceleration: v-t graph is:
A. Hyperbola
B. Horizontal line
C. Parabola
D. Straight line with slope

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
a = constant ⇒ v = u + at (linear in t). Slope = acceleration. Memory tip: 'v-t slope = acceleration; area = displacement'. Graph interpretation frequently tested in competitive kinematics sections.

Question #2
A seismograph is used to detect:
A. Sound waves in water
B. Atmospheric pressure changes
C. Earthquakes
D. Magnetic field variations

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Seismograph detects and records ground motions caused by earthquakes, volcanic activity, or explosions. It measures seismic waves (P-waves, S-waves). Barometer detects pressure changes; hydrophone detects underwater sound; magnetometer detects magnetic fields. Memory tip: 'Seismo = earthquake (like seismology)'. This instrument-application question tests knowledge of geophysical tools, frequently examined in competitive exams. Always associate instrument names with their field of use: seismograph (geology), barometer (meteorology), etc.
