Gravitational potential energy between two masses is always:

  • A Zero
  • B Infinite
  • C Positive
  • D Negative
Permalink
Correct Answer: Option D — Negative
Explanation: Gravitational potential energy is conventionally taken as negative because it is defined as zero at infinite separation, and energy must be added to separate two attracting masses further apart from each other.

What is the term used for the resistance of a body to change its state of motion?

  • A Inertia
  • B Acceleration
  • C Velocity
  • D Momentum
Permalink
Correct Answer: Option A — Inertia
Explanation: Inertia is the inherent resistance of an object to any change in its state of motion, whether at rest or moving at constant velocity. This property, described in Newton's First Law, depends directly on the mass of the object.

When resistors are connected in parallel, the total resistance:

  • A Increases
  • B Becomes infinite
  • C Remains the same as any one resistor
  • D Decreases below the smallest individual resistance
Permalink
Correct Answer: Option D — Decreases below the smallest individual resistance
Explanation: When resistors are connected in parallel, the reciprocal of the total resistance equals the sum of the reciprocals of each individual resistance, always resulting in a total less than the smallest resistor.

Which gas law states that pressure is inversely proportional to volume at constant temperature?

  • A Boyle's law
  • B Gay-Lussac's law
  • C Charles's law
  • D Avogadro's law
Permalink
Correct Answer: Option A — Boyle's law
Explanation: Boyle's law states that at constant temperature, the pressure of a fixed amount of gas is inversely proportional to its volume, meaning that as volume decreases, pressure increases proportionally.

  • A Newton's First Law
  • B Newton's Second Law
  • C Newton's Third Law
  • D Law of Gravitation
Permalink
Correct Answer: Option C — Newton's Third Law
Explanation: Newton's Third Law states that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction meaning forces always occur in pairs acting on different objects.

The friction that opposes the start of motion between two surfaces is called:

  • A Rolling friction
  • B Static friction
  • C Fluid friction
  • D Kinetic friction
Permalink
Correct Answer: Option B — Static friction
Explanation: Static friction is the resistive force that must be overcome to initiate relative motion between two surfaces in contact; it generally has a higher maximum value than kinetic friction for the same surfaces.

What is the term for the total path length traveled by an object regardless of direction?

  • A Displacement
  • B Distance
  • C Velocity
  • D Acceleration
Permalink
Correct Answer: Option B — Distance
Explanation: Distance refers to the total path length covered by a moving object, regardless of direction, and is always a positive scalar quantity. It differs from displacement, which measures the straight-line change in position with direction.

For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. This is:

  • A Newton's first law
  • B Newton's third law
  • C Kepler's law
  • D Newton's second law
Permalink
Correct Answer: Option B — Newton's third law
Explanation: Newton's third law states that forces always occur in pairs; when one body exerts a force on another, the second body exerts an equal and opposite force back on the first body.

The escape velocity from Earth's surface is approximately:

  • A 7.9 km/s
  • B 3.6 km/s
  • C 5.5 km/s
  • D 11.2 km/s
Permalink
Correct Answer: Option D — 11.2 km/s
Explanation: Escape velocity is the minimum speed an object must have to overcome Earth's gravitational pull without further propulsion, and for Earth this value is approximately 11.2 kilometres per second.

The power of a convex lens is considered:

  • A Undefined
  • B Zero
  • C Positive
  • D Negative
Permalink
Correct Answer: Option C — Positive
Explanation: The optical power of a convex, or converging, lens is conventionally taken as positive because it converges parallel rays of light to a real focal point on the opposite side of the lens.

The commercial unit of electrical energy is the:

  • A Kilowatt-hour
  • B Ampere-hour
  • C Watt
  • D Joule
Permalink
Correct Answer: Option A — Kilowatt-hour
Explanation: The kilowatt-hour (kWh) is the standard commercial unit used to measure electrical energy consumption, representing the energy used by a one-kilowatt device operating continuously for one hour, as billed by utilities.

Which principle explains why a hydraulic lift can multiply force?

  • A Pascal's law
  • B Bernoulli's principle
  • C Newton's third law
  • D Archimedes' principle
Permalink
Correct Answer: Option A — Pascal's law
Explanation: Pascal's law states that pressure applied to an enclosed fluid is transmitted undiminished in all directions, allowing a small force on a small piston to produce a much larger force on a larger piston.

What is the SI unit of electric resistance?

  • A Volt
  • B Ampere
  • C Farad
  • D Ohm
Permalink
Correct Answer: Option D — Ohm
Explanation: The Ohm (Ω) is the SI unit of electrical resistance, named after Georg Ohm. It measures the opposition a material offers to the flow of electric current, defined through Ohm's Law as voltage divided by current.

A convex lens is also known as a:

  • A Converging lens
  • B Cylindrical lens
  • C Plane lens
  • D Diverging lens
Permalink
Correct Answer: Option A — Converging lens
Explanation: A convex lens, which is thicker at the center than at the edges, is called a converging lens because it bends parallel rays of light inward to meet at a single focal point.

  • A Isaac Newton
  • B Niels Bohr
  • C Albert Einstein
  • D Max Planck
Permalink
Correct Answer: Option C — Albert Einstein

  • C Cyan, magenta, yellow
  • D Red, yellow, blue
Permalink
Correct Answer: Option B — Red, green, blue
Explanation: The primary colors of light, used in additive color mixing, are red, green, and blue; combining these three colors in different proportions and intensities can produce nearly all other visible colors.

Which type of current periodically reverses direction?

  • A Alternating current
  • B Direct current
  • C Static current
  • D Induced current
Permalink
Correct Answer: Option A — Alternating current
Explanation: Alternating current, or AC, periodically reverses direction as it flows through a circuit, unlike direct current which flows in one constant direction. Most household electrical power is supplied as alternating current for efficient long-distance transmission.
