Question #1
A force of 5 N gives mass m1 acceleration 8 m/s² and mass m2 acceleration 24 m/s². What acceleration would it give if both masses tied together?
A. 32 m/s²
B. 16 m/s²
C. 4 m/s²
D. 6 m/s²

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
m1 = 5/8 = 0.625 kg, m2 = 5/24 ≈ 0.2083 kg. Total m=0.8333 kg. a = 5/0.8333 ≈ 6 m/s².

Question #2
The core of a transformer is laminated to reduce
A. Eddy current loss
B. Hysteresis loss
C. Flux leakage
D. Copper loss

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Lamination of core increases resistance to circulating eddy currents, reducing eddy current losses (I²R). Hysteresis loss reduced by using soft iron. Copper loss is in windings. Lamination is insulation between layers.

Question #3
A ray of light travels from glass (μ=1.5) to air. Critical angle is
A. sin⁻¹(1/1.5)
B. sin⁻¹(1.5)
C. sin⁻¹(2/3)
D. sin⁻¹(1/3)

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
sin C = 1/μ = 2/3 ≈ 0.6667, C = sin⁻¹(2/3). So option A: sin⁻¹(2/3). Wait sin C = n2/n1 = 1/1.5 = 2/3. So C = sin⁻¹(2/3). Option A is sin⁻¹(2/3). I'll correct to A.
