Question #1
The efficiency of an ideal Carnot engine operating between two temperatures T1 (source) and T2 (sink) is given by:
A. 1 - (T2/T1)
B. (T1 - T2) / T2
C. T2 / (T1 - T2)
D. 1 - (T1/T2)

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
The thermal efficiency (η) of a reversible Carnot engine depends exclusively on the absolute temperatures of the hot source (T1) and the cold sink (T2). The formula is η = 1 - (T2/T1), or (T1 - T2) / T1. Temperatures must be in Kelvin. It shows no engine can be 100% efficient unless the sink is at absolute zero.

Question #2
A car moving at constant velocity of 10 m/s has net force acting on it equal to
A. Frictional force
B. Force of engine
C. Zero
D. Weight of car

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Constant velocity implies zero acceleration, net force = 0 by Newton's first law. Engine force balances friction and air resistance. Net force zero, not necessarily zero forces.

Question #3
The dimensional formula of torque is
A. [MLT⁻¹]
B. [ML²T⁻²]
C. [ML²T⁻¹]
D. [MLT⁻²]

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Torque = r × F => [L][MLT⁻²] = [ML²T⁻²], same as work.
