Question #1 Report Error
A body is thrown vertically upward with speed 40 m/s. Distance travelled in last second of ascent (g=10)
A. 35 m
B. 5 m
C. 15 m
D. 20 m

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Time of ascent = u/g = 4 s. Distance in last second (4th) = ½g(1)²? Actually, during last second of upward journey, velocity becomes zero. Distance = ½g(1)² = 5 m. Formula: s = u - g/2 (2n-1) with n=4? Let's compute: s_nth = u - (g/2)(2n-1). For n=4 (4th second), s = 40 - 5×7 = 40 - 35 = 5 m. Yes.

Question #2 Report Error
A body of mass 2 kg has momentum 10 kg m/s. Its kinetic energy is
A. 50 J
B. 20 J
C. 5 J
D. 25 J

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Kinetic energy K = p²/(2m) = (10)²/(2×2) = 100/4 = 25 J. Also, velocity v = p/m = 5 m/s, K = ½×2×5² = 25 J. Formula p²/(2m) is useful for quick computation. Always ensure units: kg, m/s, J.

Question #3 Report Error
The buoyant force on a body immersed in a fluid depends on
A. Volume of body
B. Density of body
C. Acceleration due to gravity
D. Both B and C

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Buoyant force = weight of displaced fluid = (volume of body submerged) × density_fluid × g. Depends on volume displaced and g. Not density of body.
