The process by which heat from the Sun reaches Earth is
A. Convection
B. Conduction
C. Radiation
D. Evaporation
Answer: Option C
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Space is vacuum, only radiation can travel without medium. Sun emits electromagnetic radiation (infrared, visible, UV). Earth's atmosphere absorbs some.

Question #1
A person weighs 60 kg on Earth. His weight on moon will be (g_moon = g/6)
A. 60 kg
B. 360 kg
C. 10 kg
D. 6 kg

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Weight = mg. On moon, weight = 60×(g/6)/g = 10 kg wt. Mass remains 60 kg, but weight is 10 kg force.

Question #2
A 5 kg body experiences force 20 N. Acceleration produced is:
A. 4 m/s²
B. 25 m/s²
C. 0.25 m/s²
D. 100 m/s²

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Newton's second law: F = ma ⇒ a = F/m = 20 N / 5 kg = 4 m/s². Direct application of fundamental dynamics equation. Memory tip: Always convert to SI units first; here already in kg and N. Basic numerical testing F=ma application, commonly appearing in competitive exams to verify formula recall and unit handling.

Question #3
The distance traveled by an object is directly obtained from
A. Velocity-time graph area
B. Acceleration-time graph
C. Speed-time graph slope
D. Displacement-time graph slope

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Area under v-t graph gives displacement (distance if velocity doesn't change sign). Slope of x-t gives velocity. Slope of v-t gives acceleration. Area a-t gives change in velocity.
