Projectile peak: velocity and acceleration are: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Projectile peak: velocity and acceleration are:
A. v=0, a=g downward
B. Both zero
C. Both max
D. v max, a=0
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
At maximum height, vertical velocity = 0 momentarily, but acceleration = g downward throughout motion. Memory tip: 'Peak: v=0, a=g; gravity never switches off'. Kinematics concept frequently tested to correct misconception that acceleration vanishes at peak.

Gravity work for horizontal motion:
A. Positive
B. Speed dependent
C. Zero
D. Negative

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Gravity acts vertically; horizontal displacement ⇒ angle = 90° ⇒ W = Fd cos90° = 0. No work for perpendicular force-displacement. Memory aid: 'Work = Fd cosθ; θ=90° ⇒ W=0'. Mechanics concept frequently tested to correct misconception that force always does work.

SI unit of luminous intensity:
A. Watt
B. Lux
C. Lumen
D. Candela

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Candela (cd) is SI base unit for luminous intensity. Lumen: luminous flux; Lux: illuminance; Watt: power. Memory aid: 'Candela = candle power; base unit for perceived light'. Unit knowledge frequently tested in competitive exams.
