Question #1
A piece of ice floats in a glass of water filled to brim. When ice melts, water level
A. Remains same
B. First decreases then increases
C. Decreases
D. Increases

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Ice displaces water equal to its weight. When melted, it occupies exactly that volume. So level unchanged. Classic question.

Question #2
Which thermodynamic process occurs at a constant volume?
A. Isothermal process
B. Isochoric process
C. Adiabatic process
D. Isobaric process

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
An isochoric process is a thermodynamic process in which the volume of the closed system remains constant (delta V = 0). Because there is no change in volume, the system does zero pressure-volume work (W = Pdelta V = 0). According to the first law of thermodynamics, any heat added goes entirely into increasing the internal energy. Isobaric is constant pressure; isothermal is constant temperature.

Question #3
A body executing SHM has amplitude 5 cm and time period 2 s. Maximum velocity is
A. 20π cm/s
B. 2.5π cm/s
C. 5π cm/s
D. 10π cm/s

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
v_max = ωA = (2π/T) A = (2π/2)×5 = 5π cm/s.
