Physics MCQs for NEET — Practice Questions with Answers

Two cities X and Y are connected by a regular bus service with a bus leaving in either direction every $T$ min. A girl is driving scooty with a speed of 60 km/h in the direction X to Y notices that a bus goes past her every 30 minutes in the direction of her motion, and every 10 minutes in the opposite direction. Choose the correct option for the period $T$ of the bus service and the speed (assumed constant) of the buses.

A uniform rod of mass 20 kg and length 5 m leans against a smooth vertical wall making an angle of $60^\circ$ with it. The other end rests on a rough horizontal floor. The friction force that the floor exerts on the rod is (take $g = 10\ \text{m/s}^2$):

In an oscillating spring mass system, a spring is connected to a box filled with sand. As the box oscillates, sand leaks slowly out of the box vertically so that the average frequency $\omega(t)$ and average amplitude $A(t)$ of the system change with time $t$. Which one of the following options schematically depicts these changes correctly?

A balloon is made of a material of surface tension $S$ and its inflation outlet (from where gas is filled in it) has small area $A$. It is filled with a gas of density $\rho$ and takes a spherical shape of radius $R$. When the gas is allowed to flow freely out of it, its radius $r$ changes from $R$ to 0 (zero) in time $T$. If the speed $v(r)$ of gas coming out of the balloon depends on $r$ as $r^a$ and $T\propto S^\alpha A^\beta \rho^\gamma R^\delta$ then:

Consider the diameter of a spherical object being measured with the help of a Vernier callipers. Suppose its 10 Vernier Scale Divisions (V.S.D.) are equal to its 9 Main Scale Divisions (M.S.D.). The least division in the M.S. is 0.1 cm and the zero of V.S. is at $x = 0.1$ cm when the jaws of Vernier callipers are closed. If the main scale reading for the diameter is M = 5 cm and the number of coinciding vernier division is 8, the measured diameter after zero error correction, is:

A parallel plate capacitor made of circular plates is being charged such that the surface charge density on its plates is increasing at a constant rate with time. The magnetic field arising due to displacement current is:

An unpolarized light beam travelling in air is incident on a medium of refractive index 1.73 at Brewster's angle. Then—

Two identical charged conducting spheres A and B have their centres separated by a certain distance. Charge on each sphere is $q$ and the force of repulsion between them is F. A third identical uncharged conducting sphere is brought in contact with sphere A first and then with B and finally removed from both. New force of repulsion between spheres A and B (radii of A and B are negligible compared to the distance of separation so that for calculating force between them they can be considered as point charges) is best given as:

A container has two chambers of volumes $V_1 = 2$ litres and $V_2 = 3$ litres separated by a partition made of a thermal insulator. The chambers contain $n_1 = 5$ and $n_2 = 4$ moles of ideal gas at pressures $p_1 = 1$ atm and $p_2 = 2$ atm, respectively. When the partition is removed, the mixture attains an equilibrium pressure of:

A particle of mass $m$ is moving around the origin with a constant force $F$ pulling it towards the origin. If Bohr model is used to describe its motion, the radius $r$ of the $n^{th}$ orbit and the particle's speed $v$ in the orbit depend on $n$ as:
