Question #1 Report Error
A thermometer reads 25°C. What is the corresponding temperature in Kelvin?
A. 273 K
B. 248 K
C. 325 K
D. 298 K

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
To convert a temperature from Celsius to Kelvin, the formula is K = °C + 273.15. For most physics problems, we use 273. Therefore, K = 25 + 273 = 298 K. Kelvin is the SI unit of temperature, and it never uses a degree symbol.

Question #2 Report Error
A body is dropped from a height of 20 m. Its velocity on reaching ground (g=10) is
A. 14.14 m/s
B. 10 m/s
C. 20 m/s
D. 40 m/s

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
v² = 2gh = 2×10×20=400, v=20 m/s.

Question #3 Report Error
The resistance of a wire is R. If its length is doubled and area is halved, the new resistance is
A. 4R
B. 2R
C. R
D. R/2

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
R ∝ L/A. New L'=2L, A'=A/2 => R' = ρ(2L)/(A/2) = 4ρL/A = 4R. Alternatively, volume constant? Not given, here both changed independently. So 4R.
