A body of mass 5 kg moving with velocity 2 m/s collides with a stationary body of mass 3 kg and sticks to it. Combined velocity is MCQ with Answer and Explanation

A body of mass 5 kg moving with velocity 2 m/s collides with a stationary body of mass 3 kg and sticks to it. Combined velocity is
A. 5 m/s
B. 0.8 m/s
C. 1.25 m/s
D. 2 m/s
Answer: Option C
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Momentum before = 5×2=10, after = (5+3)v => v=10/8=1.25 m/s.

EM wave: E and B fields are:
A. Parallel
B. Perpendicular to each other and propagation
C. Random
D. Parallel to propagation

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
EM waves transverse: E ⊥ B ⊥ propagation direction. Derived from Maxwell's equations. Memory tip: 'EM wave: right-hand rule for E×B direction'. Wave property frequently tested in competitive modern physics sections.

The work done in moving a unit positive charge from one point to another against an electric field is known as:
A. Potential Difference
B. Capacitance
C. Electric Field Intensity
D. Electric Flux

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
By definition, the electric potential difference between two points in an electric field is the amount of external work required to move a unit positive charge (1 Coulomb) slowly and without acceleration from one point to the other against the electrostatic force. The SI unit of potential difference is the Volt (Joules/Coulomb).

The specific heat capacity of water is exceptionally high. This property is primarily responsible for:
A. Water having high surface tension.
B. The formation of sea breezes and land breezes.
C. Water being a good conductor of electricity.
D. Water expanding upon freezing.

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Water has a specific heat capacity of 4184 J/kg·K, which is very high. This means it heats up and cools down much more slowly than land. During the day, land heats faster than the sea, causing air above it to rise and cool air from the sea to rush in (sea breeze). The reverse happens at night (land breeze).
