Question #1
The kinetic energy of a body becomes four times its initial value. The new momentum will be:
A. Twice the initial
B. Half the initial
C. Four times the initial
D. Same as initial

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Kinetic energy KE = p²/(2m), where p is momentum. Thus p = √(2m·KE). If KE becomes 4 times, p_new = √(2m·4KE) = 2√(2m·KE) = 2p_initial. Hence momentum doubles. This relationship shows momentum scales with square root of kinetic energy for constant mass. Memory tip: p ∝ √KE when mass constant. This conceptual link between momentum and kinetic energy is frequently tested in competitive exams to assess depth of understanding beyond rote formula memorization. Always derive relationships when direct formulas aren't recalled.

Question #2
Specific heat capacity of water is 4200 J/kg°C. How much heat is required to raise temperature of 2 kg water by 10°C?
A. 42000 J
B. 8400 J
C. 4200 J
D. 84000 J

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Q = mcΔθ = 2 × 4200 × 10 = 84,000 J = 84 kJ. Large specific heat of water makes it useful for cooling and climate moderation. Always check units: mass kg, c J/kg°C, ΔT °C.

Question #3
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

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
1 cal = 4.186 J ≈ 4.2 J. So both are correct. However option D covers both. I'll set D as correct.
