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? MCQ with Answer and Explanation

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. 4 m/s²
C. 16 m/s²
D. 6 m/s²
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
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 #1
The unit of latent heat is
A. J
B. J/kg
C. W
D. J/°C

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Latent heat per unit mass, so Q = mL, L = Q/m, unit J/kg (or cal/g). Specific latent heat of fusion/vaporization. Heat required for phase change without temperature change.

Question #2
Who among the following scientists first experimentally demonstrated the existence of electromagnetic waves, confirming Maxwell's theoretical predictions?
A. Heinrich Hertz
B. Nikola Tesla
C. Guglielmo Marconi
D. Thomas Edison

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
While James Clerk Maxwell predicted electromagnetic waves mathematically, it was the German physicist Heinrich Hertz who successfully built the first spark-gap transmitter in 1887. He physically generated and detected radio waves in his laboratory, proving Maxwell's theories right. The SI unit of frequency, the Hertz (Hz), is named in his absolute honor.

Question #3
A man pushes a wall but fails to move it. He does
A. Maximum work
B. Zero work
C. Positive work
D. Negative work

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Work = force × displacement in direction of force. Displacement zero, so work zero. Physiology work is done internally, but physics work zero.
