A ball is thrown vertically upward with speed 20 m/s. The maximum height reached (g = 10 m/s²) is MCQ with Answer and Explanation

A ball is thrown vertically upward with speed 20 m/s. The maximum height reached (g = 10 m/s²) is
A. 20 m
B. 10 m
C. 40 m
D. 200 m
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Using v² = u² - 2gH, at maximum height v = 0. So 0 = 20² - 2×10×H => 400 = 20H => H = 20 m. Alternative formula: H = u²/(2g) = 400/20 = 20 m. Remember to use consistent units. For quick calculation, u²/(2g) is handy.

The pitch of a sound depends on its
A. Amplitude
B. Wavelength
C. Speed
D. Frequency

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Pitch is subjective perception of frequency. Higher frequency higher pitch. Amplitude determines loudness. Speed and wavelength related by v = fλ, but pitch is frequency-based. Human ear 20 Hz-20 kHz.

The velocity of a body changes from 2 m/s to 10 m/s in 4 s. Distance covered in this time is (assuming constant acceleration)
A. 32 m
B. 24 m
C. 16 m
D. 48 m

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
a = (10-2)/4 = 2 m/s². s = 2×4 + ½×2×16 = 8+16=24 m. Or average velocity 6 m/s ×4=24.
