The latent heat of fusion of ice is 80 cal/g. Heat required to melt 50 g ice at 0°C is MCQ with Answer and Explanation

The latent heat of fusion of ice is 80 cal/g. Heat required to melt 50 g ice at 0°C is
A. 1600 cal
B. 4000 cal
C. 40 cal
D. 800 cal
Answer: Option B
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Q = mL = 50 × 80 = 4000 cal. (1 cal = 4.2 J, but here in cal). No temperature change during phase change. Latent heat of vaporization is 540 cal/g for water.

Question #1 Report Error
The human ear can hear sound in frequency range
A. Above 200 kHz
B. 0-20 Hz
C. 20 kHz - 200 kHz
D. 20 Hz - 20 kHz

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Audible range: 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz (20 kHz). Below 20 Hz infrasound, above ultrasound. This range decreases with age. Dogs can hear higher frequencies (ultrasonic whistles).

A car decelerates uniformly from 20 m/s to rest in 4 s. Distance covered is
A. 80 m
B. 60 m
C. 40 m
D. 20 m

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
a = (0-20)/4 = -5 m/s². s = 20×4 + ½(-5)×16 = 80 - 40 = 40 m. Or average velocity 10 m/s × 4 = 40 m.

Question #3 Report Error
Free fall: height h takes time t. Height 4h takes time:
A. t
B. 4t
C. 2t
D. t/2

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
h = ½gt² ⇒ t ∝ √h. If h' = 4h, t' = √4 × t = 2t. Time doubles when height quadruples. Memory aid: 'Free fall: t ∝ √h; 4× height ⇒ 2× time'. Kinematics proportionality frequently tested in competitive exams.
