A ball of mass 0.5 kg moving at 4 m/s strikes a wall and rebounds at same speed. Impulse imparted is MCQ with Answer and Explanation

A ball of mass 0.5 kg moving at 4 m/s strikes a wall and rebounds at same speed. Impulse imparted is
A. 8 N s
B. 0 N s
C. 4 N s
D. 2 N s
Answer: Option C
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Δp = m(v - (-u)) = 0.5(4 - (-4)) = 0.5×8 = 4 N s.

Two electric bulbs rated 60W, 220V and 100W, 220V are connected strictly in series across a 220V supply. Which bulb will glow brighter?
A. Both will glow with equal brightness.
B. 100W bulb
C. Neither will glow.
D. 60W bulb

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Resistance of a bulb is R = V^2 / P. The 60W bulb has a higher resistance than the 100W bulb. When connected in series, the exact same current (I) flows through both. The power consumed (which determines brightness) is given by P = I^2R. Since the 60W bulb has higher resistance (R), it consumes more power and glows brighter.

Question #3 Report Error
A cyclist moving at 18 km/h stops pedalling and comes to rest after 10 m due to friction. Deceleration is
A. 0.8 m/s²
B. 2.5 m/s²
C. 1.25 m/s²
D. 5 m/s²

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
18 km/h = 5 m/s. v² = u² + 2as => 0 = 5² + 2a×10 => 25 + 20a = 0 => a = -25/20 = -1.25 m/s², deceleration = 1.25 m/s². Negative acceleration.
