Question #1
The phenomenon by which heat is transferred through empty space without the need for a material medium is known as:
A. Latent Heat Transfer
B. Conduction
C. Convection
D. Radiation

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Thermal radiation is the transfer of heat via electromagnetic waves (primarily infrared). Unlike conduction (which requires physical contact) or convection (which requires fluid movement), radiation can travel through a vacuum. This is how the heat from the Sun reaches the Earth through the vacuum of space.

Question #2
A body starts from rest and moves with uniform acceleration. Which graph accurately represents its motion?
A. A straight line displacement-time graph passing through origin.
B. A decreasing straight line on a velocity-time graph.
C. A straight horizontal line on a velocity-time graph.
D. A parabolic displacement-time graph curving upwards.

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
For uniform acceleration starting from rest, the displacement equation is s = ½at². Since displacement 's' is proportional to the square of time (t²), the displacement-time graph is a parabola curving upwards. A straight horizontal line on a v-t graph means constant velocity (zero acceleration).
