Question #1 Report Error
A car moving with speed 20 m/s applies brakes and stops in 5 s. The distance covered during braking is
A. 100 m
B. 25 m
C. 50 m
D. 200 m

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
u=20, v=0, t=5, a = (0-20)/5 = -4 m/s². s = ut + ½at² = 20×5 + ½×(-4)×25 = 100 - 50 = 50 m. Or average velocity = (20+0)/2 = 10 m/s, distance = 10×5 = 50 m.

Question #3 Report Error
A wire of resistance R is stretched to double its length. Assuming volume remains constant, the new resistance is:
A. R/2
B. 2R
C. 4R
D. R

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Resistance R = ρL/A. Volume V = A·L constant. If L' = 2L, then A' = V/L' = V/(2L) = A/2. Thus R' = ρ(2L)/(A/2) = 4(ρL/A) = 4R. Resistance increases by factor of 4. Memory tip: 'Stretching wire: R ∝ L² when volume constant'. This proportional reasoning problem tests resistance concepts, frequently appearing in competitive exams. Always verify volume conservation assumption; if area changed independently, result would differ. This problem assesses understanding of geometric effects on electrical properties.
