A brass rod of length 1 m at 0°C expands by 0.0019 m when heated to 100°C. Its linear expansion coefficient is MCQ with Answer and Explanation

A brass rod of length 1 m at 0°C expands by 0.0019 m when heated to 100°C. Its linear expansion coefficient is
A. 1.9 × 10⁻⁴ /°C
B. 1.9 × 10⁻³ /°C
C. 1.9 × 10⁻⁶ /°C
D. 1.9 × 10⁻⁵ /°C
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
ΔL = α L₀ ΔT => α = ΔL/(L₀ ΔT) = 0.0019/(1×100) = 1.9×10⁻⁵ /°C. Typical for brass. Unit is per °C. Always check ΔL/L per °C.

SONAR uses waves of frequency:
A. 20 Hz - 20 kHz
B. > 20 kHz
C. < 20 Hz
D. Any frequency

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
SONAR uses ultrasonic waves (>20 kHz) for better directionality, resolution, and reduced absorption in water. Audible sound (20Hz-20kHz) diffracts more; infrasonic (

Question #3 Report Error
Which of the following physical quantities is completely conserved during an inelastic collision?
A. Mechanical energy
B. Velocity
C. Linear momentum
D. Kinetic energy

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
The fundamental law of conservation of momentum dictates that in a closed system with no external net forces, total linear momentum is always conserved regardless of the collision type. In an inelastic collision, some kinetic energy is converted into other forms of energy (like heat or sound or deformation work), meaning kinetic and total mechanical energy are explicitly NOT conserved.
