A particle moves with velocity v = 3t² + 2t. Its acceleration at t = 2 s is: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

A particle moves with velocity v = 3t² + 2t. Its acceleration at t = 2 s is:
A. 10 m/s²
B. 8 m/s²
C. 16 m/s²
D. 14 m/s²
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Acceleration a = dv/dt = d(3t² + 2t)/dt = 6t + 2. At t = 2 s: a = 6(2) + 2 = 14 m/s². Differentiation of velocity gives instantaneous acceleration. Memory tip: a = dv/dt; for polynomial v(t), differentiate term by term. Tests calculus application in kinematics, common in advanced competitive exam questions.

The magnetic field inside a long, straight, current-carrying solenoid is:
A. Stronger at the ends than at the center
B. Uniform (same at all points)
C. Directly proportional to the radius of the solenoid
D. Zero

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
An ideal solenoid consists of tightly packed coils. When current passes through it, the magnetic field lines inside the solenoid are parallel straight lines. This indicates that the magnetic field is uniform in magnitude and direction at all points strictly inside the central region of the solenoid. The field strength is given by B = mu_0 * n * I.

Question #2 Report Error
Assertion (A): The coefficient of kinetic friction is always strictly less than the coefficient of limiting static friction. Reason (R): Once motion starts, the inertia of rest is broken and interlocking of surface irregularities is less effective.
A. Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
B. A is true but R is false.
C. Both A and R are true but R is NOT the correct explanation of A.
D. A is false but R is true.

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Static friction opposes impending motion, reaching a maximum called limiting friction. Once the object moves, it doesn't have enough time for the microscopic irregularities (asperities) of the two surfaces to interlock strongly. Thus, the force required to keep it moving (kinetic friction) is slightly less than the force required to start the motion.

A SONAR signal sent from a ship returns after 2 s. If speed of sound in water is 1500 m/s, depth of sea is
A. 3000 m
B. 375 m
C. 750 m
D. 1500 m

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
d = v t/2 = 1500×2/2 = 1500 m.
