Uniform acceleration: v-t graph is: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Uniform acceleration: v-t graph is:
A. Hyperbola
B. Straight line with slope
C. Horizontal line
D. Parabola
Answer: Option B
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
a = constant ⇒ v = u + at (linear in t). Slope = acceleration. Memory tip: 'v-t slope = acceleration; area = displacement'. Graph interpretation frequently tested in competitive kinematics sections.

Question #1
A capillary tube is dipped in water and the water rises to a height 'h'. If the experiment is performed in a freely falling elevator, the water column in the tube will:
A. Not rise at all
B. Rise to height h
C. Rise to height 2h
D. Rise to the full length of the capillary tube

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
The height of capillary rise is given by Jurin's law: h = 2Tcos(theta) / (rrhog). In a freely falling elevator, the effective acceleration due to gravity (g') is zero (weightlessness). As effective g approaches zero, the theoretical height h approaches infinity. In reality, the water will rise to the very top of the tube, regardless of its length, but will not overflow.

Question #2
The phenomenon of photoelectric emission occurs only when incident light has:
A. High intensity
B. Frequency above threshold
C. Any frequency if intensity is high
D. Long wavelength

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Photoelectric effect requires photon energy hν ≥ work function φ of metal. Thus frequency ν must exceed threshold ν₀ = φ/h, regardless of intensity. Intensity affects number of electrons, not emission possibility. Memory aid: 'Photoelectric: frequency threshold (quantum effect); intensity affects current, not emission'. This quantum physics concept is frequently tested in competitive exams. Always distinguish classical wave prediction (intensity-dependent) from quantum reality (frequency-dependent); this was key evidence for photons.

Question #3
A bullet of mass 10 g moving at 300 m/s penetrates 10 cm into a wooden block. Average resistive force is
A. 4500 N
B. 9000 N
C. 3000 N
D. 1500 N

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
KE lost = ½ m v² = ½×0.01×90000 = 450 J. Work = F×s => 450 = F×0.1 => F = 4500 N.
