A 5 kg body experiences force 20 N. Acceleration produced is: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

A 5 kg body experiences force 20 N. Acceleration produced is:
A. 0.25 m/s²
B. 100 m/s²
C. 4 m/s²
D. 25 m/s²
Answer: Option C
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Newton's second law: F = ma ⇒ a = F/m = 20 N / 5 kg = 4 m/s². Direct application of fundamental dynamics equation. Memory tip: Always convert to SI units first; here already in kg and N. Basic numerical testing F=ma application, commonly appearing in competitive exams to verify formula recall and unit handling.

Question #1 Report Error
The percentage error in the measurement of mass is 1% and speed is 2%. Error in kinetic energy is
A. 4%
B. 2%
C. 5%
D. 6%

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
KE = ½mv², ΔKE/KE = Δm/m + 2 Δv/v = 1% + 4% = 5%.

Question #2 Report Error
Why does food cook faster in a pressure cooker?
A. Increased pressure lowers the boiling point of water.
B. Increased pressure raises the boiling point of water.
C. The trapped steam adds extra heat directly to the food.
D. The metal of the cooker conducts heat much faster.

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
In an open vessel, water boils at 100°C, and extra heat merely creates steam rather than raising the temperature. A pressure cooker traps steam, increasing the internal pressure above atmospheric pressure. Increased pressure raises the boiling point of water (often to around 120°C). Cooking the food at this higher temperature significantly reduces cooking time.

The temperature of a body is 86°F. What is it in Celsius?
A. 25°C
B. 40°C
C. 20°C
D. 30°C

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
C = (F-32) × 5/9 = (86-32)×5/9 = 54×5/9 = 30°C. Common conversion. 86°F warm day. 32°F = 0°C.
