The weight of a body is maximum at MCQ with Answer and Explanation

The weight of a body is maximum at
A. Same everywhere
B. Centre of Earth
C. Equator
D. Poles
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
g_pole > g_equator due to less centrifugal effect and Earth's oblateness. At centre g=0, weightless. So weight max at poles.

Question #1 Report Error
The velocity-time graph of a particle moving in a straight line is shown. The displacement of the particle from t=0 to t=4s is: [Graph: triangle from (0,0) to (2,10) to (4,0)]
A. 10 m
B. 30 m
C. 20 m
D. 40 m

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Displacement = area under velocity-time graph. The graph forms a triangle with base 4 s and height 10 m/s. Area = ½ × base × height = ½ × 4 × 10 = 20 m. Since velocity is always positive, displacement equals distance travelled. Graphical analysis is powerful: area gives displacement, slope gives acceleration. This triangle represents motion with uniform acceleration followed by uniform retardation. Exam tip: For piecewise linear v-t graphs, calculate area of each geometric segment separately. Such graph-based questions assess conceptual clarity in motion analysis.

A. 13.6 eV
B. 3.4 eV
C. 0 eV
D. 27.2 eV

Explanation:
Ionization energy is energy to remove electron from ground state to infinity, 13.6 eV.

Question #3 Report Error
The least count of a standard vernier calliper is generally
A. 1 cm
B. 0.001 cm
C. 0.1 cm
D. 0.01 cm

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Least count = 1 MSD - 1 VSD = 0.1 - 0.09 = 0.01 cm (common).
