A 10 kg object is falling freely under gravity. The net force acting on it is (g=10) MCQ with Answer and Explanation

A 10 kg object is falling freely under gravity. The net force acting on it is (g=10)
A. 1 N
B. 10 N
C. 100 N
D. 0 N
Answer: Option C
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Weight = mg = 10×10 = 100 N. In free fall, only force is gravity (air resistance neglected). Net force = weight, so F = 100 N, causing acceleration g.

Question #1
Which famous physicist correctly formulated the laws of electromagnetic induction mathematically, later synthesizing all known electromagnetic phenomena into four fundamental equations?
A. James Clerk Maxwell
B. André-Marie Ampère
C. Heinrich Hertz
D. Michael Faraday

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
While Faraday performed the groundbreaking experimental work discovering electromagnetic induction, it was James Clerk Maxwell who formalized these discoveries mathematically. Maxwell's equations (a set of four differential equations) elegantly united electricity, magnetism, and optics, proving theoretically that light itself is a propagating electromagnetic wave.

Question #3
Water's high specific heat useful for:
A. Biological temperature regulation
B. Neither
C. Engine cooling
D. Both

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
High c = absorbs/releases large heat with small ΔT. Stabilizes engine temperatures and organism body temperatures. Memory tip: 'High specific heat = thermal buffer; water moderates climate and physiology'. Property application frequently tested in competitive exams.
