The slope of a displacement-time graph for uniform motion is MCQ with Answer and Explanation

The slope of a displacement-time graph for uniform motion is
A. Velocity
B. Displacement
C. Acceleration
D. Zero
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Displacement-time graph slope = Δx/Δt = average velocity. For uniform motion, velocity constant, graph is a straight line, slope equals velocity. Acceleration would be slope of velocity-time graph. Thus, slope represents velocity. Exam trick: slope of x-t graph gives instantaneous velocity.

Question #2
A 100 W bulb operates at 220 V. The current drawn by it is approximately:
A. 4.5 A
B. 0.22 A
C. 2.2 A
D. 0.45 A

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Electric power P = VI. Thus I = P/V = 100 W / 220 V ≈ 0.4545 A ≈ 0.45 A. This direct application of power formula is fundamental in electricity. Memory tip: 'I = P/V for resistive loads'. Competitive exams frequently test such calculations with household appliance ratings. Always use consistent units (watts, volts, amperes). Note: This assumes purely resistive load (valid for incandescent bulbs); for motors or electronics, power factor may matter, but not at this level.

Question #3
The density of a substance is 8 g/cm³. In SI, it is
A. 8000 kg/m³
B. 80 kg/m³
C. 8 kg/m³
D. 800 kg/m³

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
1 g/cm³ = 1000 kg/m³, so 8 g/cm³ = 8000 kg/m³.
