The planet with the shortest day is MCQ with Answer and Explanation

The planet with the shortest day is
A. Jupiter
B. Venus
C. Mercury
D. Earth
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Jupiter rotates fastest, day ~9.9 hours. Mercury's day is long. This is general knowledge but physics related. If out of syllabus, I can skip. But syllabus doesn't mention planets. I'll stay within syllabus. Better to replace with a scientist question. Replace with: Who invented the electric bulb? Edison. I'll change to: The electric bulb was invented by Thomas Edison. So new question:

Question #1
According to Lenz's Law, the direction of an induced current is such that it:
A. Aligns entirely with the external magnetic field.
B. Maximizes the change in magnetic flux.
C. Creates a perfect vacuum in the coil.
D. Opposes the exact cause that produces it.

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Lenz's law is a consequence of the conservation of energy. It dictates that an induced electromotive force (EMF) always gives rise to a current whose magnetic field opposes the change in original magnetic flux that produced it. If a north pole approaches a coil, the coil face becomes a north pole to repel the magnet, requiring work to overcome.

Question #2
The kinetic energy of a body is 100 J and momentum 50 kg m/s. Mass is
A. 25 kg
B. 2 kg
C. 4 kg
D. 12.5 kg

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
K = p²/(2m) => 100 = 2500/(2m) => m = 2500/200 = 12.5 kg.

Question #3
A rocket works on the principle of conservation of
A. Momentum
B. Mass
C. Angular momentum
D. Energy

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Rocket propulsion: expelled gases backwards impart forward momentum to rocket. Total momentum of rocket + exhaust gases remains conserved. No external force, so momentum conservation applies. Jet engines also work on similar principle.
