A block of mass 5 kg is pushed against a wall with a horizontal force of 50 N. Coefficient of friction 0.4. The block (g=10) MCQ with Answer and Explanation

A block of mass 5 kg is pushed against a wall with a horizontal force of 50 N. Coefficient of friction 0.4. The block (g=10)
A. Stays at rest
B. Moves up
C. Moves sideways
D. Falls down
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Weight = 50 N. Max static friction = μN = 0.4×50 = 20 N, insufficient to hold. So block slides down.

The number of base SI units is
A. 7
B. 5
C. 8
D. 6

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Seven base units: metre, kilogram, second, ampere, kelvin, mole, candela. All other units derived. This is standard definition. Supplementary units radian and steradian now considered dimensionless derived units.

The energy emitted by the Sun is primarily a result of:
A. Chemical combustion of gases.
B. Radioactive decay of uranium.
C. Nuclear fission of heavy elements.
D. Nuclear fusion of hydrogen into helium.

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
The Sun and other stars generate their immense energy through nuclear fusion. In the Sun's core, immense gravitational pressure and heat cause hydrogen nuclei (protons) to overcome electrostatic repulsion and fuse together to form helium nuclei. This fusion process releases vast amounts of energy according to Einstein's E=mc².

Which of the following pairs of physical quantities has the same dimensions?
A. Pressure and Strain
B. Angular Momentum and Planck's Constant
C. Force and Power
D. Momentum and Kinetic Energy

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Angular momentum (L = mvr) has dimensions [ML²T⁻¹]. Planck's constant (h = E/ν) also has dimensions [ML²T⁻¹]. They share the same dimensional formula. Force is [MLT⁻²], Power is [ML²T⁻³], Momentum is [MLT⁻¹], and Strain is a dimensionless quantity [M⁰L⁰T⁰]. This is a frequent exam question.
