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 #3
Solar cells convert:
A. Light energy to electrical energy
B. Electrical energy to light energy
C. Thermal energy to electrical energy
D. Chemical energy to electrical energy

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Solar cells (photovoltaic cells) convert light energy (photons) directly into electrical energy via the photovoltaic effect: photons excite electrons in semiconductor material, creating electron-hole pairs that generate voltage. This is distinct from solar thermal (light to heat to electricity) or batteries (chemical to electrical). Memory aid: 'Photo = light; voltaic = electricity'. This renewable energy application question tests knowledge of energy conversion principles, common in competitive exams. Always distinguish photovoltaic (direct light-electricity) from other solar technologies.
