Free fall: height h takes time t. Height 4h takes time: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Free fall: height h takes time t. Height 4h takes time:
A. 2t
B. 4t
C. t
D. t/2
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
h = ½gt² ⇒ t ∝ √h. If h' = 4h, t' = √4 × t = 2t. Time doubles when height quadruples. Memory aid: 'Free fall: t ∝ √h; 4× height ⇒ 2× time'. Kinematics proportionality frequently tested in competitive exams.

The number of significant figures in 0.0034060 is
A. 6
B. 5
C. 7
D. 4

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Leading zeros (before first non-zero digit) are not significant. So 0.0034060: the first non-zero is 3, then 4,0,6 are significant, and the trailing zero after decimal is significant. Thus significant digits are 3,4,0,6,0 — 5 digits. Note: The last zero indicates precision. Answer is 5.

Question #3 Report Error
The graph between velocity and time for uniform acceleration is
A. Circle
B. Straight line inclined to time axis
C. Parabola
D. Straight line parallel to time axis

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
v = u + at, linear relation, slope = a. Straight line inclined. If a=0, parallel to time axis (uniform velocity). Displacement-time is parabola for uniform acceleration.
