Question #1
A body of mass 2 kg is moving with velocity 5 m/s. Its kinetic energy is
A. 5 J
B. 50 J
C. 10 J
D. 25 J

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
K.E. = ½ m v² = ½ × 2 × 5² = 1 × 25 = 25 J. Use formula correctly. If velocity doubled, KE quadrupled. Unit joule.

Question #2
The coefficient of performance of a refrigerator is defined as:
A. Heat rejected / Work input
B. Work input / Heat extracted
C. Heat extracted / Work input
D. Work input / Heat rejected

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Coefficient of performance (COP) for refrigerator: COP = Q₂ / W, where Q₂ is heat extracted from cold reservoir, W is work input. By energy conservation, Q₁ = Q₂ + W (heat rejected to hot reservoir). COP > 1 typically. Option A is inverse; C and D relate to heat engine efficiency. Memory aid: 'Refrigerator COP = desired output (cooling) / work input'. This thermodynamics definition is frequently tested in competitive exams. Always distinguish refrigerator COP (cooling effect per work) from heat engine efficiency (work output per heat input).

Question #3
A body of mass 4 kg is raised from height 2 m to 8 m. Increase in potential energy (g=10) is
A. 240 J
B. 80 J
C. 400 J
D. 320 J

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
ΔPE = mgΔh = 4×10×(8-2) = 4×10×6 = 240 J.
