Heat transfer requiring medium and bulk motion is: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Heat transfer requiring medium and bulk motion is:
A. Convection
B. All three
C. Radiation
D. Conduction
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Convection involves fluid motion carrying heat. Conduction needs medium but no bulk motion; radiation needs no medium. Memory aid: 'Convection = fluid flow + heat transfer; e.g., boiling water, weather'. Definition-based question testing heat transfer modes, frequently examined in competitive exams to distinguish mechanisms.

Question #2
A machine gun fires 60 bullets per minute, each of mass 10 g with velocity 600 m/s. The power developed by the gun is:
A. 3000 W
B. 18000 W
C. 1800 W
D. 300 W

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Power = work done per unit time = kinetic energy imparted per second. KE per bullet = ½mv² = ½×0.01×(600)² = 1800 J. Bullets per second = 60/60 = 1. Thus power = 1800 J/s = 1800 W. Note: Mass conversion: 10 g = 0.01 kg. This problem combines kinetic energy formula with power definition. Exam tip: Always convert to SI units first (grams to kg, minutes to seconds). Such numerical problems test multi-step calculation skills and unit conversion proficiency essential for competitive examinations.

Question #3
A piece of copper wire has resistance 10 Ω at 0°C. α = 0.004/°C. At 100°C resistance is
A. 14 Ω
B. 12 Ω
C. 10 Ω
D. 8 Ω

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
R_t = R₀(1+α t) = 10(1+0.004×100) = 10(1.4) = 14 Ω.
