The distance traveled by an object is directly obtained from MCQ with Answer and Explanation

The distance traveled by an object is directly obtained from
A. Velocity-time graph area
B. Speed-time graph slope
C. Displacement-time graph slope
D. Acceleration-time graph
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Area under v-t graph gives displacement (distance if velocity doesn't change sign). Slope of x-t gives velocity. Slope of v-t gives acceleration. Area a-t gives change in velocity.

Question #1
The commercial unit of electrical energy is kWh. 1 kWh equals how many joules?
A. 3.6 × 10³ J
B. 3.6 × 10⁴ J
C. 3.6 × 10⁵ J
D. 3.6 × 10⁶ J

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
1 kWh = 1000 W × 3600 s = 3,600,000 J = 3.6 × 10⁶ J. This is a standard conversion. Power (watt) × time (hour) gives energy. 1 watt = 1 J/s. Remember this for electricity bills.

Question #2
The angle of incidence for a light ray is 30°. According to laws of reflection, angle of reflection is
A. 15°
B. 90°
C. 60°
D. 30°

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Law of reflection: angle of incidence = angle of reflection, both measured from normal. So 30°. If angle with mirror is given, convert to normal. Always equal for smooth surfaces.

Question #3
A seismograph is used to detect:
A. Magnetic field variations
B. Sound waves in water
C. Earthquakes
D. Atmospheric pressure changes

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Seismograph detects and records ground motions caused by earthquakes, volcanic activity, or explosions. It measures seismic waves (P-waves, S-waves). Barometer detects pressure changes; hydrophone detects underwater sound; magnetometer detects magnetic fields. Memory tip: 'Seismo = earthquake (like seismology)'. This instrument-application question tests knowledge of geophysical tools, frequently examined in competitive exams. Always associate instrument names with their field of use: seismograph (geology), barometer (meteorology), etc.
