What is the term for an object floating due to the upward force of a fluid?

  • A Gravity
  • B Buoyancy
  • C Tension
  • D Friction
Permalink
Correct Answer: Option B — Buoyancy
Explanation: Buoyancy is the upward force exerted by a fluid on a submerged or floating object, opposing its weight. According to Archimedes' Principle, this force equals the weight of the fluid displaced by the object, determining whether it floats or sinks.

What is the term for the number of wave cycles that pass a given point per second?

  • A Wavelength
  • B Amplitude
  • C Frequency
  • D Period
Permalink
Correct Answer: Option C — Frequency
Explanation: Frequency measures how many complete wave cycles pass a fixed point every second, expressed in Hertz. Higher frequency waves carry more energy and, in sound, are perceived as higher pitched tones by the human ear.

  • A Isaac Newton
  • B Albert Einstein
  • C Galileo Galilei
  • D Archimedes
Permalink
Correct Answer: Option C — Galileo Galilei
Explanation: Galileo Galilei is widely regarded as the Father of Physics for his pioneering experimental approach to the study of motion mechanics and astronomy in the 16th and 17th centuries.

The law of conservation of linear momentum applies to a system when:

  • A Mass is constant only
  • B External force is maximum
  • C External force is zero
  • D Internal forces are zero
Permalink
Correct Answer: Option C — External force is zero
Explanation: Linear momentum of a system is conserved when the net external force acting on it is zero, meaning the total momentum before an event, such as a collision, equals the total momentum after it.

Which process transfers heat through the movement of fluid currents?

  • A Convection
  • B Conduction
  • C Radiation
  • D Sublimation
Permalink
Correct Answer: Option A — Convection
Explanation: Convection transfers heat through the movement of fluids as warmer less dense fluid rises and cooler denser fluid sinks creating convection currents that distribute thermal energy.

Unlike charges:

  • A Cancel gravity
  • B Attract each other
  • C Have no interaction
  • D Repel each other
Permalink
Correct Answer: Option B — Attract each other
Explanation: Unlike electric charges, meaning one positive and one negative, attract each other according to Coulomb's law, forming the basis for how atoms and molecules are held together through electrostatic forces.

The process by which two light nuclei combine to form a heavier nucleus is called:

  • A Nuclear fission
  • B Nuclear fusion
  • C Alpha decay
  • D Radioactive decay
Permalink
Correct Answer: Option B — Nuclear fusion
Explanation: Nuclear fusion is the process where two light atomic nuclei, such as hydrogen isotopes, combine under extreme temperature and pressure to form a heavier nucleus, releasing enormous amounts of energy, as occurs in stars.

What is the term for the total internal reflection angle beyond which light cannot exit a medium?

  • A Incident angle
  • B Reflection angle
  • C Refractive angle
  • D Critical angle
Permalink
Correct Answer: Option D — Critical angle
Explanation: The critical angle is the angle of incidence beyond which light traveling from a denser to a rarer medium is completely internally reflected rather than refracted. This principle underlies technologies like optical fibers used in modern communication systems.

The zeroth law of thermodynamics deals with:

  • A Entropy
  • B Conservation of energy
  • C Thermal equilibrium
  • D Absolute zero
Permalink
Correct Answer: Option C — Thermal equilibrium
Explanation: The zeroth law of thermodynamics establishes the concept of thermal equilibrium, stating that if two systems are each in thermal equilibrium with a third system, they are also in equilibrium with each other.

A body of mass 5 kg moving at 4 m/s has kinetic energy of:

  • A 80 J
  • B 40 J
  • C 20 J
  • D 10 J
Permalink
Correct Answer: Option B — 40 J
Explanation: Kinetic energy equals half of mass multiplied by velocity squared, so 0.5 times 5 kg times 16 (4 squared) equals 40 joules, representing the energy the body possesses due to its motion.
