Question #1
The time period of a simple pendulum is independent of:
A. Length of pendulum
B. Acceleration due to gravity
C. Mass of bob
D. Amplitude (for small angles)

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Pendulum period T = 2π√(l/g) for small amplitudes. It depends on length l and gravity g, but not on bob mass or amplitude (isochronism for small angles). Mass independence arises because gravitational force and inertia both proportional to mass, canceling out. Memory aid: 'Pendulum: T ∝ √(l/g); independent of mass and small-amplitude'. This conceptual question tests oscillations fundamentals, frequently examined in competitive exams. Always verify the small-angle approximation; competitive exams assume it unless specified otherwise. This problem assesses understanding of which parameters affect periodic motion.

Question #2
Assertion (A): A convex mirror is used as a rear-view mirror in vehicles. Reason (R): A convex mirror always forms a virtual, erect, and diminished image, giving a wider field of view.
A. A is false but R is true.
B. A is true but R is false.
C. Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
D. Both A and R are true but R is NOT the correct explanation of A.

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Convex mirrors bulge outwards, which inherently provides a much wider field of view compared to plane mirrors. Regardless of the object's position, a convex mirror reliably produces virtual, erect, and diminished (smaller) images. This allows a driver to see a large area of the road behind them in a small mirror, making R the exact explanation for A.

A machine does 1000 J of work in 20 s. Power is
A. 20 W
B. 20000 W
C. 50 W
D. 5 W

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
P = 1000/20 = 50 W.
