The energy equivalent of 1 g mass is MCQ with Answer and Explanation

The energy equivalent of 1 g mass is
A. 3×10⁸ J
B. 9×10¹⁶ J
C. 9×10¹⁰ J
D. 9×10¹³ J
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
E = mc² = 0.001 kg × (3×10⁸)² = 0.001 × 9×10¹⁶ = 9×10¹³ J. Enormous energy. 1 g mass if fully converted gives this. Atomic bomb converts small fraction.

Convex lens in water: focal length:
A. Decreases
B. Becomes negative
C. Increases
D. Unchanged

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Lens maker: 1/f ∝ (n_rel - 1). In water, n_rel = n_glass/n_water ≈ 1.5/1.33 ≈ 1.13 < 1.5 (air). Smaller (n_rel-1) ⇒ larger f. Memory aid: 'Lens in denser medium: reduced power ⇒ longer focal length'. Optics application frequently tested in competitive exams.

KE increased by 100%. Momentum increase percentage:
A. 100%
B. 41.4%
C. 50%
D. 200%

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
KE ∝ p². Double KE ⇒ p_new = √2 p_old ⇒ increase = (√2 - 1)×100% ≈ 41.4%. Memory tip: 'KE ∝ p²; %Δp ≈ ½ %ΔKE for small changes, but use exact for large'. Energy-momentum relation frequently tested in competitive exams.

The dimensional formula of angular momentum is:
A. [ML²T⁻²]
B. [MLT⁻¹]
C. [M⁰L⁰T⁰]
D. [ML²T⁻¹]

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Angular momentum L = r × p. Position r has [L], linear momentum p = mv has [MLT⁻¹], so L has [L][MLT⁻¹] = [ML²T⁻¹]. This matches Planck's constant dimensions. Option A is linear momentum; C is energy/torque; D is dimensionless. Memory aid: 'Angular momentum: [ML²T⁻¹]; same as action quantities'. This dimensional analysis question tests ability to derive formulas, crucial for competitive exams. Always break down compound quantities into fundamental dimensions (M, L, T) for verification and problem-solving.
