Q1. 1.26 × 10⁵ J of heat is given to 1 kg of water (c = 4200 J kg⁻¹ K⁻¹). The rise in temperature is:

  1. 30 °C
  2. 15 °C
  3. 60 °C
  4. 300 °C
Show the answer

Answer: A. 30 °C

ΔT = Q/(mc) = 1.26 × 10⁵/(1×4200) = 30 °C.

Q2. Which of these is NOT mainly an example of convection?

  1. feeling warmth from a fire across a room
  2. a land breeze blowing at night
  3. water at the bottom of a pot rising when heated
  4. a glider rising on a thermal
Show the answer

Answer: A. feeling warmth from a fire across a room

Feeling warmth from a fire across a room: radiation.

Q3. A person stands 510 m from a cliff. If sound travels at 340 m/s, the echo is heard after:

  1. 3 s
  2. 6 s
  3. 30 s
  4. 1.5 s
Show the answer

Answer: A. 3 s

The correct answer is “3 s”. t = 2d/v = 2×510/340 = 3 s.

Q4. A ray entering a glass block along the normal:

  1. passes straight through without bending
  2. disperses
  3. is totally reflected
  4. bends towards the normal
Show the answer

Answer: A. passes straight through without bending

The correct answer is “passes straight through without bending”. i = 0 ⇒ r = 0.

Q5. Electrically, salt water is a/an:

  1. superconductor
  2. conductor
  3. magnet
  4. insulator
Show the answer

Answer: B. conductor

The correct answer is “conductor”. Salt water: conductor.

Q6. A current of 1 A flows for 60 s. The charge that passes is:

  1. 0.0167 C
  2. 120 C
  3. 30 C
  4. 60 C
Show the answer

Answer: D. 60 C

The correct answer is “60 C”. Q = It = 60 C.
