Work done by a force is maximum when the angle between force and displacement is MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Work done by a force is maximum when the angle between force and displacement is
A. 0°
B. 90°
C. 60°
D. 30°
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Work W = F·d = Fd cosθ. cos0° = 1 gives maximum work. At 90°, cos90° = 0, work zero. For given magnitudes, maximum when force parallel to displacement. This is basic definition.

Question #2
What is the minimum distance required to hear a distinct echo? (Assuming speed of sound in air is 344 m/s)
A. 17.2 meters
B. 34.4 meters
C. 10 meters
D. 25.6 meters

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
The human ear retains the sensation of sound for about 0.1 seconds (persistence of hearing). To hear a distinct echo, the reflected sound must reach the ear after at least 0.1 s. Distance traveled by sound = Speed × Time = 344 m/s × 0.1 s = 34.4 m. Since this is the total distance (go and return), the minimum distance to the obstacle is 34.4 / 2 = 17.2 meters.
