Question #1
The speed of sound in air at 20°C is approximately
A. 330 m/s
B. 360 m/s
C. 300 m/s
D. 343 m/s

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
At 0°C ≈ 331 m/s, increases with temperature. At 20°C ≈ 343 m/s.

Question #2
The time period of oscillation of a spring-mass system in a satellite orbiting Earth is:
A. Depends on orbital radius
B. Infinite
C. Zero
D. Same as on Earth

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Spring-mass period T = 2π√(m/k), depending only on mass and spring constant, not on gravity. In orbit, apparent weightlessness doesn't affect spring force (which depends on displacement, not gravity). Thus period remains unchanged. Pendulum period would change (depends on g), but spring-mass does not. Memory aid: 'Spring period: independent of g; pendulum period: depends on g'. This conceptual question tests oscillations fundamentals, frequently examined in competitive exams. Always distinguish gravity-dependent (pendulum) from gravity-independent (spring-mass) oscillators.

The Chandrasekhar Limit is a fundamental concept in astrophysics that determines the ultimate fate of a star. It is specifically defined as the maximum mass of a:
A. Neutron Star
B. Black Hole
C. Red Giant
D. White Dwarf

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar calculated that a White Dwarf star cannot support itself against gravitational collapse if its mass exceeds approximately 1.44 times the mass of our Sun. This is the Chandrasekhar limit. Stars above this mass limit will eventually collapse further into a dense neutron star or a black hole.
