Weight of 10 kg mass on Moon (g_moon ≈ g_earth/6) is: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Weight of 10 kg mass on Moon (g_moon ≈ g_earth/6) is:
A. 60 N
B. 100 N
C. 16.7 N
D. 10 N
Answer: Option C
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Weight W = mg. On Earth: 10×10 = 100 N. On Moon: g_moon ≈ 10/6 ≈ 1.67 m/s². W_moon = 10×1.67 ≈ 16.7 N. Mass remains 10 kg; weight changes with gravity. Memory tip: 'Mass constant; weight ∝ g'. Tests mass-weight distinction and gravity variation, common conceptual question in competitive exams.

Which basic thermodynamic law establishes the physical concept of temperature and is the foundational basis for constructing thermometers?
A. Zeroth Law of Thermodynamics
B. Second Law of Thermodynamics
C. Third Law of Thermodynamics
D. First Law of Thermodynamics

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
The Zeroth Law of Thermodynamics states that if body A is in thermal equilibrium with body B, and body B is in thermal equilibrium with body C, then A is also in thermal equilibrium with C. This transitive property implies a common physical property shared by them all, which we define as 'temperature'. A thermometer acts as body B.

A fuse wire is made of an alloy of tin and lead because it has
A. High melting point and high resistance
B. High melting point and low resistance
C. Low melting point and low resistance
D. Low melting point and high resistance

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Fuse needs low melting point to melt at overload, high resistance to generate more heat (I²R). Tin-lead alloy suitable. Copper high melting point, not fuse material.

Which SI prefix represents 10⁻⁶?
A. micro
B. pico
C. milli
D. nano

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Micro (μ) denotes 10⁻⁶ in SI system. Nano = 10⁻⁹, pico = 10⁻¹², milli = 10⁻³. Standard prefixes: kilo(10³), milli(10⁻³), micro(10⁻⁶), nano(10⁻⁹). Memory aid: 'Micro = millionth; μm = micrometer = 10⁻⁶ m'. Frequently tested for unit conversion proficiency in competitive exams.
