Work done by a man in carrying a suitcase weighing 10 kg on his head while walking 5 m horizontally (g=10) is MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Work done by a man in carrying a suitcase weighing 10 kg on his head while walking 5 m horizontally (g=10) is
A. 500 J
B. 0 J
C. 50 J
D. 250 J
Answer: Option B
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Force (weight) is vertical (upward to support), displacement horizontal, angle 90°, cos90°=0, work = 0. No work against gravity because vertical height doesn't change. Energy spent is internal muscular effort, but physics work zero.

Question #1
The least count of a vernier calliper is 0.01 cm. A measurement should be recorded as
A. 2.5 cm
B. 2.5000 cm
C. 2.500 cm
D. 2.50 cm

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Least count determines precision: two decimal places. So 2.50 cm. Extra digits indicate false precision.

Question #2
The prefix 'Peta' in the SI system represents which power of 10?
A. 10^12
B. 10^9
C. 10^18
D. 10^15

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
In the SI system of prefixes, 'Peta' stands for 10^15. Other common large prefixes include Kilo (10^3), Mega (10^6), Giga (10^9), Tera (10^12), and Exa (10^18). It's crucial to memorize both positive and negative powers (like nano, pico, femto) for competitive exams.

Question #3
A rocket works on the principle of conservation of
A. Energy
B. Angular momentum
C. Momentum
D. Mass

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Rocket propulsion: expelled gases backwards impart forward momentum to rocket. Total momentum of rocket + exhaust gases remains conserved. No external force, so momentum conservation applies. Jet engines also work on similar principle.
