The substance that sublimes is MCQ with Answer and Explanation

The substance that sublimes is
A. Ice
B. Iron
C. Water
D. Naphthalene
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Naphthalene (mothballs), camphor, dry ice sublime (solid → gas). Ice melts. Iron solid till melting. Water evaporates from liquid. Sublimation skips liquid phase.

Question #1
The time taken by light to travel from Sun to Earth is approximately:
A. 8 minutes
B. 1 day
C. 8 seconds
D. 1 hour

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Average Earth-Sun distance (1 AU) ≈ 1.5×10¹¹ m. Speed of light c = 3×10⁸ m/s. Time t = distance/speed = 1.5×10¹¹ / 3×10⁸ = 500 seconds ≈ 8.33 minutes ≈ 8 minutes. This is a standard astronomical fact. Memory aid: 'Sunlight takes 8 minutes to reach Earth; we see the Sun as it was 8 minutes ago'. This factual knowledge question tests awareness of scale in physics, frequently appearing in competitive exams. Always recall key constants: Earth-Sun distance, light speed, for quick estimations.

Question #2
The work done by a conservative force in moving a particle along a closed path is:
A. Zero
B. Depends on path
C. Negative
D. Positive

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Conservative forces (gravity, spring, electrostatic) have path-independent work; work done over any closed loop is zero. This defines conservative forces and enables potential energy definition. Non-conservative forces (friction) have non-zero closed-path work. Memory aid: 'Conservative force: ∮F·dr = 0; enables energy conservation'. This mechanics concept is frequently tested in competitive exams. Always link conservative forces to potential energy and mechanical energy conservation; this is foundational for advanced physics problem-solving.

Question #3
A body moves with uniform acceleration. The graph between velocity and time is:
A. Straight line with positive slope
B. Hyperbola
C. Straight line parallel to time axis
D. Parabola

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Uniform acceleration means constant rate of change of velocity: a = dv/dt = constant. Thus v = u + at, a linear equation in t. Graph is straight line with slope = acceleration. Parallel to time axis (A) implies zero acceleration (constant velocity). Parabola (C) is for position-time under constant acceleration. Memory tip: 'v-t graph slope = acceleration; area = displacement'. This graph interpretation question tests kinematics fundamentals, frequently examined in competitive exams. Always link graph features to physical quantities: slope, area, intercepts have specific meanings in motion graphs.
