Work done by a man in carrying a suitcase weighing 10 kg on his head while walking 5 m horizontally (g=10) is MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Work done by a man in carrying a suitcase weighing 10 kg on his head while walking 5 m horizontally (g=10) is
A. 0 J
B. 50 J
C. 250 J
D. 500 J
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Force (weight) is vertical (upward to support), displacement horizontal, angle 90°, cos90°=0, work = 0. No work against gravity because vertical height doesn't change. Energy spent is internal muscular effort, but physics work zero.

Question #1
The time taken by a pendulum to complete one oscillation is called
A. Wavelength
B. Amplitude
C. Time period
D. Frequency

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Time period T = 2π√(L/g) for simple pendulum. Frequency = 1/T. Amplitude is max displacement. Wavelength for waves.

Question #3
In a pressure cooker, food cooks faster because:
A. Boiling point of water increases due to high pressure
B. Steam circulates rapidly
C. Heat is trapped inside
D. Material conducts heat better

Correct Answer: Option A


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).
