Question #1
Assertion (A): It is easier to pull a lawn roller than to push it. Reason (R): Pushing increases the apparent weight of the roller, thereby increasing the frictional force.
A. Both A and R are true but R is NOT the correct explanation of A.
B. A is true but R is false.
C. A is false but R is true.
D. Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
When you pull a roller at an upward angle, the vertical component of the applied force acts strictly upwards, reducing the normal reaction (N = mg - Fsin_theta) and thus reducing friction (muN). When you push it at a downward angle, the vertical component adds to the weight (N = mg + Fsin_theta), increasing the normal reaction and consequently increasing the rolling friction.

Question #2
When a wave travels from one medium to another, which of its properties never changes?
A. Frequency
B. Wavelength
C. Velocity
D. Amplitude

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
When a wave (like light or sound) changes mediums, its velocity changes due to the new medium's optical or mechanical density. Wavelength changes proportionally with velocity (v = fλ). However, frequency is determined solely by the source generating the wave and the energy of the photons/particles, and it remains absolutely constant.

Question #3
The unit of specific heat capacity is
A. J/kg°C
B. J
C. J/kg
D. J/°C

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Q = m c ΔT => c = Q/(m ΔT), unit J/(kg °C).
