Body moving with constant velocity has: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Body moving with constant velocity has:
A. Zero acceleration
B. Constant acceleration
C. Variable acceleration
D. Increasing acceleration
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Constant velocity ⇒ no change in speed or direction ⇒ acceleration = dv/dt = 0. Newton's first law: zero net force for constant velocity. Memory tip: 'Constant v ⇒ a = 0; changing v ⇒ a ≠ 0'. Basic kinematics concept frequently tested to verify acceleration-velocity relationship understanding.

Question #1 Report Error
The efficiency of a Carnot engine working between 27°C and 127°C is
A. 100%
B. 25%
C. 50%
D. 75%

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
η = 1 - T₂/T₁ = 1 - (300/400) = 1 - 0.75 = 0.25 = 25%. Wait, T₁ high temp 400 K, T₂ low 300 K, so η = 1 - 300/400 = 0.25 = 25%. Option A is 25%. Let's correct answer A. I'll set option A: 25%.

Question #3 Report Error
In a pressure cooker, food cooks faster because:
A. Boiling point of water increases due to high pressure
B. Steam circulates rapidly
C. Material conducts heat better
D. Heat is trapped inside

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Pressure cooker seals steam, increasing internal pressure above atmospheric. Higher pressure raises water's boiling point (above 100°C), allowing food to cook at higher temperature, speeding up chemical reactions. Option A is vague; C and D are secondary effects. Memory tip: 'Higher pressure ⇒ higher boiling point ⇒ faster cooking'. This daily-life physics question tests application of pressure-temperature relationship in liquids, frequently appearing in competitive exams. Always recall that phase change temperatures depend on pressure (e.g., water boils below 100°C on mountains).
