Uniform acceleration: v-t graph is: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Uniform acceleration: v-t graph is:
A. Parabola
B. Straight line with slope
C. Horizontal line
D. Hyperbola
Answer: Option B
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
a = constant ⇒ v = u + at (linear in t). Slope = acceleration. Memory tip: 'v-t slope = acceleration; area = displacement'. Graph interpretation frequently tested in competitive kinematics sections.

Question #1 Report Error
The dimensional formula of Planck's constant is identical to that of:
A. Linear momentum
B. Torque
C. Angular momentum
D. Force

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Planck's constant (h) has dimensions [ML²T⁻¹]. Angular momentum (L = mvr) has dimensions [M][LT⁻¹][L] = [ML²T⁻¹], matching exactly. Linear momentum is [MLT⁻¹], force is [MLT⁻²], and torque is [ML²T⁻²]. This dimensional equivalence is fundamental in quantum mechanics, linking wave-particle duality. Memory tip: Both represent 'action' quantities with identical dimensional structure. This concept frequently appears in competitive exams testing dimensional analysis skills.

The angle of incidence for a light ray is 30°. According to laws of reflection, angle of reflection is
A. 60°
B. 15°
C. 90°
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 Report Error
In a pressure cooker, food cooks faster because:
A. Material conducts heat better
B. Boiling point of water increases due to high pressure
C. Heat is trapped inside
D. Steam circulates rapidly

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Pressure cooker seals steam, increasing internal pressure above atmospheric. Higher pressure raises water's boiling point (above 100°C), allowing food to cook at higher temperature, speeding up chemical reactions. Option A is vague; C and D are secondary effects. Memory tip: 'Higher pressure ⇒ higher boiling point ⇒ faster cooking'. This daily-life physics question tests application of pressure-temperature relationship in liquids, frequently appearing in competitive exams. Always recall that phase change temperatures depend on pressure (e.g., water boils below 100°C on mountains).
