A 2 kg object has potential energy 196 J at a height (g=9.8) of MCQ with Answer and Explanation

A 2 kg object has potential energy 196 J at a height (g=9.8) of
A. 98 m
B. 10 m
C. 196 m
D. 20 m
Answer: Option B
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
h = PE/(mg) = 196/(2×9.8) = 196/19.6 = 10 m.

The force required to keep a body moving in uniform velocity on a frictionless surface is
A. Equal to its weight
B. Equal to applied force
C. Product of mass and velocity
D. Zero

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
On a frictionless surface, no net external force is required to maintain uniform velocity (Newton's first law). Only to change velocity force is needed. Thus, force required is zero. If friction present, force would be needed to balance friction.

The unit of electric potential is
A. Ampere
B. Ohm
C. Volt
D. Coulomb

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Volt = J/C. Named after Alessandro Volta. Potential difference drives current. 1 V = 1 J of work per coulomb charge moved.

In geometric optics, the power of a lens is defined as the reciprocal of its:
A. Radius of curvature
B. Magnification
C. Focal length in meters
D. Refractive index

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
The power (P) of a lens indicates its converging or diverging ability. It is mathematically defined as the reciprocal of the focal length (f), provided the focal length is measured in meters. The formula is P = 1 / f(in meters). The SI unit of power for a lens is the Diopter (D). A focal length of 0.5m gives a power of 2D.
