The percentage error in the measurement of mass is 1% and speed is 2%. Error in kinetic energy is
A. 6%
B. 5%
C. 4%
D. 2%
Answer: Option B
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
KE = ½mv², ΔKE/KE = Δm/m + 2 Δv/v = 1% + 4% = 5%.

Question #1
According to the Bohr model of the hydrogen atom, the total energy of an electron in the nth stationary orbit is directly proportional to:
A. n
B. 1 / n
C. n^2
D. 1 / n^2

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
The total energy of an electron in a hydrogen-like atom in the nth orbit is strictly negative and given by the mathematical formula E_n = -13.6 Z^2 / n^2 (in eV). This formula demonstrates that the total energy is inversely proportional to the square of the principal quantum number (n^2).

Question #3
The temperature of a body is 86°F. What is it in Celsius?
A. 25°C
B. 30°C
C. 40°C
D. 20°C

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
C = (F-32) × 5/9 = (86-32)×5/9 = 54×5/9 = 30°C. Common conversion. 86°F warm day. 32°F = 0°C.
