A body of volume 100 cc weighs 80 g in air. It will float in water with MCQ with Answer and Explanation

A body of volume 100 cc weighs 80 g in air. It will float in water with
A. It will sink
B. 20 cc above water
C. 80 cc submerged
D. 100 cc submerged
Answer: Option C
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Density = 80/100 = 0.8 g/cc. Water density 1 g/cc. Fraction submerged = 0.8, so 80 cc submerged, 20 cc above. So option B correct.

Question #1 Report Error
Two bodies A and B start from the same point with velocities 10 m/s and 15 m/s respectively in the same direction. If B starts 2 seconds after A, the time after which B catches A is:
A. 8 s
B. 4 s
C. 10 s
D. 6 s

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
When B starts, A has already traveled 10 m/s × 2 s = 20 m. Relative velocity of B w.r.t A = 15 - 10 = 5 m/s. Time to cover 20 m gap at 5 m/s relative speed = 20/5 = 4 s after B starts. Since B started 2 s late, total time from A's start = 2 + 4 = 6 s. Alternatively, equate distances: 10t = 15(t-2) ⇒ 10t = 15t - 30 ⇒ t = 6 s. This relative motion approach simplifies pursuit problems. Memory tip: In same-direction motion, use relative velocity = |v₁ - v₂|. Frequently tested in kinematics sections of competitive exams.

Question #2 Report Error
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. 0.8 m/s
B. 1.25 m/s
C. 2 m/s
D. 5 m/s

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Momentum before = 5×2=10, after = (5+3)v => v=10/8=1.25 m/s.

Question #3 Report Error
The focal length of a concave mirror is 15 cm. The radius of curvature is
A. 7.5 cm
B. 45 cm
C. 15 cm
D. 30 cm

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
For spherical mirrors, R = 2f. So R = 2 × 15 = 30 cm. Sign convention: for concave mirror, f and R are negative by Cartesian convention, but magnitude 30 cm. So 30 cm is correct.
