Question #1
A body travels first half distance at speed v₁ and second half at v₂. Average speed is:
A. √(v₁v₂)
B. (v₁+v₂)/2
C. v₁v₂/(v₁+v₂)
D. 2v₁v₂/(v₁+v₂)

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
For equal distances: average speed = total distance/total time = 2d/(d/v₁ + d/v₂) = 2v₁v₂/(v₁+v₂). This is harmonic mean, not arithmetic. Memory tip: Equal distances ⇒ harmonic mean of speeds; equal times ⇒ arithmetic mean. Frequently tested kinematics concept distinguishing average speed calculation methods.

Question #2
A conductor has resistance 4 Ω at 0°C and temperature coefficient α. At what temperature will resistance be 6 Ω? (α=0.004 /°C)
A. 75°C
B. 125°C
C. 150°C
D. 100°C

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
R_t = R₀(1+α t). 6 = 4(1+0.004 t) => 1.5 = 1+0.004t => 0.5=0.004t => t=125°C.

Question #3
A body weighs 100 N on Earth's surface. Weight at a height equal to Earth's radius is
A. 0 N
B. 100 N
C. 25 N
D. 50 N

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
g' = g (R/(R+h))² = g (1/2)² = g/4. Weight = 100/4 = 25 N.
