Q1. Physics
A particle is moving with velocity v = 2t² + 3t. Find its acceleration at t = 2s.
A. 11 m/s²
B. 10 m/s²
C. 8 m/s²
D. 14 m/s²
Correct Answer: A
a = dv/dt = d(2t² + 3t)/dt = 4t + 3. At t = 2: a = 4(2) + 3 = 11 m/s².
Q2. Physics
A convex lens has focal length 20 cm. At what distance from the lens should an object be placed to get a real image twice the size of object?
A. 40 cm
B. 30 cm
C. 20 cm
D. 60 cm
Correct Answer: B
Magnification m = -2 (real image). m = v/u = -2 ? v = -2u. Lens formula: 1/f = 1/v - 1/u. 1/20 = 1/(-2u) - 1/u = -3/(2u). u = -30 cm. So object distance = 30 cm.
Q3. Physics
The escape velocity of a body from Earth is 11.2 km/s. What is the escape velocity from a planet having mass 4 times and radius twice that of Earth?
A. 22.4 km/s
B. 5.6 km/s
C. 15.8 km/s
D. 11.2 km/s
Correct Answer: C
v_e = v(2GM/R). For new planet: v_e' = v(2G·4M/2R) = v(2·2GM/R) = v2·v(2GM/R) = v2 × 11.2 = 15.84 km/s.
Q4. Physics
A wire of resistance R is stretched to double its length. New resistance will be:
A. R/2
B. R
C. 4R
D. 2R
Correct Answer: C
When length is doubled (L' = 2L), cross-sectional area halves (A' = A/2). R' = ?L'/A' = ?(2L)/(A/2) = 4?L/A = 4R.
Q5. Physics

A. 2?
B. ?/2
C. 4?
D. ?/4
