Question 1:

What is the velocity of an object dropped from a height at any given time "t"?

A) ½ gt²
B) at²
C) vit + ½ gt²
D) gt

Topic: Physics Concepts - Velocity and Acceleration due to Gravity

Correct Answer: D) gt

Short Hint:

When an object is dropped from a height, its initial velocity (Vi) is zero.
The only factor influencing its velocity is the acceleration due to gravity (g) over time (t).
The formula to calculate this is Vf = Vi + gt. Since Vi = 0 for an object dropped from a height, the equation simplifies to Vf = gt.
Therefore, the correct answer is D, "gt".

Question 2:

What is the gravitational force exerted on a 20kg mass at the surface of the earth?

A) 20 N
B) 196 N
C) 19.6 N
D) 1960 N

Topic: Physics Concepts - Gravitational Force

Correct Answer: B) 196 N

Short Hint:

The gravitational force experienced by a body on the surface of the earth is given by the formula F = mg, where m is mass and g is gravitational acceleration (approximately 9.8m/s²).
For a mass of 20kg, the gravitational force would be F = 20 * 9.8 = 196N.
Hence, the correct answer is B, "196 N".

Question 3:

Determine the force required to accelerate a body of weight 5N at an acceleration of 4ms⁻² (Consider g = 10ms⁻²).

A) 10N
B) 2N
C) 5N
D) 1N

Topic: Physics Concepts - Force and Acceleration

Correct Answer: B) 2N

Short Hint:

The weight of the body (W) is given by mg, and hence the mass (m) can be determined by W/g. So, m = 5/10 = 0.5kg.
The force required to accelerate this body (F) is determined by F = ma.
For an acceleration of 4ms⁻², F = 0.5 * 4 = 2N.
Hence, the correct answer is B, "2N".

Question 4:

If an acceleration of 1.5ms⁻² is expressed in km/hr², what is its value?

A) 324 km/hr²
B) 5.4 km/hr²
C) 5400 km/hr²
D) 19440 km/hr²

Topic: Physics Concepts - Units Conversion

Correct Answer: D) 19440 km/hr²

Short Hint:

To convert ms⁻² to km/hr², multiply by (3600)².
Hence, 1.5 * (3600)² = 19440 km/hr².
Therefore, the correct answer is D, "19440 km/hr²".

Question 5:

Which of these statements is accurate for an object set in motion from a stationary state?

A) The first second of motion registers an average speed of 4.9m/s.
B) For each second, the object descends by a distance of 9.8m.
C) Each passing second causes the acceleration to increase by 9.8m/s².
D) During the first second, the object descends by a distance of 9.8m.

Topic: Physics Concepts - Velocity and Acceleration

Correct Answer: A) The first second of motion registers an average speed of 4.9m/s.

Short Hint:

For an object released from rest, the final velocity after 1 second (Vf) can be calculated using the formula Vf = Vi + gt.
Here, Vi is initial velocity (0), g is the acceleration due to gravity (9.8 m/s²), and t is time (1 second).
The average velocity (Vav) is then Vav = (Vi + Vf) / 2.
Therefore, the correct answer is A, as the average speed during the first second is 4.9 m/s.

Question 6:

At what point in its trajectory is a projectile's vertical velocity component at its lowest?

A) Upon impact with the ground
B) At the peak of its ascent
C) At the moment of launch
D) None of the above

Topic: Physics Concepts - Projectile Motion

Correct Answer: B) At the peak of its ascent.

Short Hint:

The vertical velocity component of a projectile is zero at the peak of its flight.
This occurs because the velocity decreases as the projectile ascends and becomes zero at the highest point.
Hence, the correct answer is B, "At the peak of its ascent."

Question 7:

If a 4N force is applied to a 2 kg mass over a 2-second duration, what is the change in momentum per unit time?

A) 2 Kgms⁻²
B) 8 Kgms⁻²
C) 4 Kgms⁻²
D) 16 Kgms⁻²

Topic: Physics Concepts - Force and Momentum

Correct Answer: C) 4 Kgms⁻².

Short Hint:

The relationship between force and momentum is expressed as F = ∆P/∆t.
Given that F = 4N, the rate of change of momentum is 4 Kgms⁻².
Therefore, the correct answer is C, "4 Kgms⁻²."

Question 8:

What is equivalent to the derivative of momentum with respect to time?

A) Force
B) Speed
C) Impulse
D) Both "A" and "C"

Topic: Physics Concepts - Momentum and Force

Correct Answer: A) Force.

Short Hint:

The time derivative of momentum refers to the rate of change of momentum over time.
According to Newton's second law, this is equivalent to the force applied.
Hence, the correct answer is A, "Force."

Question 9:

What is the angle of projection when the maximum height and the range of a projectile are the same?

A) Inverse tangent of ¼
B) Inverse tangent of 4
C) Inverse cosine of ¼
D) Inverse sine of ¼

Topic: Physics Concepts - Projectile Motion

Correct Answer: B) Inverse tangent of 4

Short Hint:

The relationship between the maximum height (H) and range (R) of a projectile launched at an angle "θ" can be defined as 4H = R*tan(θ).
Suppose we consider a situation where H = R, then this relationship simplifies to tan(θ) = 4.
Therefore, the angle of projection is θ = tan⁻¹(4), leading us to option B.

Question 10:

If a racing car accelerates at a constant rate, increasing its velocity from 10m/s to 50m/s over a span of 60m, how much time does this process take?

A) 2.0s
B) 5.0s
C) 4.0s
D) 8.0s

Topic: Physics Concepts - Acceleration and Time

Correct Answer: A) 2.0s

Short Hint:

Given the initial (10 m/s) and final (50 m/s) velocities, as well as the distance traversed (60 m), we can employ the formula Vf² = Vi² + 2ad.
Once we have the acceleration, we can use the formula Vf = Vi + at to calculate the time taken (t) for this change in velocity.
Hence, the correct answer is A, "2.0s".

Question 11:

How is one dyne related to Newton in terms of magnitude?

A) Equivalent to 10³ N
B) Equivalent to 10⁵ N
C) Equivalent to 10⁻⁵ N
D) Equivalent to 10⁻³ N

Topic: Physics Concepts - Units of Force

Correct Answer: C) Equivalent to 10⁻⁵ N

Short Hint:

The dyne and the Newton are both units of force, but they belong to different systems of units.
Specifically, 1 Newton is equal to 10⁵ dyne.
Therefore, to convert from dyne to Newton, we divide by 10⁵, meaning that one dyne is equivalent to 10⁻⁵ Newton.
This leads us to option C.

Question 12:

At what angle should a projectile be launched to achieve maximum horizontal travel distance?

A) 30˚
B) 45˚
C) 60˚
D) 90˚

Topic: Physics Concepts - Projectile Motion

Correct Answer: B) 45˚

Short Hint:

The horizontal distance, or range, that a projectile covers is maximum when it is launched at an angle of 45˚.
This is due to the interplay between the vertical and horizontal components of the projectile's velocity.
At 45˚, these components equip the projectile with the optimum balance for maximum range.
Therefore, the correct answer is B, "45˚".

Question 13:

For a projectile, at which launch angle does it achieve maximum altitude?

A) 45^o
B) 30^o
C) 60^o
D) 90^o

Topic: Physics Concepts - Projectile Motion

Correct Answer: D) 90^o

Short Hint:

The maximum height that a projectile can reach is obtained when it is launched vertically upwards, i.e., at an angle of 90˚.
In this case, the entire velocity of the projectile is used to overcome gravity, leading to the maximum possible height.
Hence, the correct answer is D, "90^o".

Question 14:

In which direction is the net force on a car moving due east at a steady speed?

A) Towards the east
B) In the upward direction
C) Towards the west
D) The force is zero

Topic: Physics Concepts - Force and Motion

Correct Answer: D) The force is zero

Short Hint:

The car is moving at a constant velocity. This implies no acceleration (delta-v = 0), as its speed and direction remain unchanged.
From Newton's second law (F = ma), if the acceleration (a) is zero, the net force (F) must also be zero.
Hence, option D is correct.

Question 15:

What is the value of the numerical ratio between a particle's velocity and its speed?

A) Always equal to or less than one
B) Always equal to one
C) Always less than one
D) Always zero

Topic: Physics Concepts - Velocity and Speed

Correct Answer: A) Always equal to or less than one

Short Hint:

Because velocity is displacement (a vector quantity) over time, speed is distance (a scalar quantity) over time, and displacement is always less than or equal to distance, the ratio of velocity to speed is always less than or equal to one.
Thus, the correct answer is A, "Always equal to or less than one."

Question 16:

A ball with a mass of 1.0kg is thrown against a wall at a speed of 2.0m/s and bounces back at 1.5m/s. What is the change in the ball's momentum?

A) Zero
B) 0.5Ns directed towards the wall
C) 0.5Ns directed away from the wall
D) 3.5Ns directed away from the wall

Topic: Physics Concepts - Momentum

Correct Answer: D) 3.5Ns directed away from the wall

Short Hint:

The initial momentum (Pi) is given by the ball's mass (m) times its initial velocity (vi), i.e., Pi = mvi = (1kg)(2m/s) = 2Ns.
The final momentum (Pf) after the ball rebounds is given by the ball's mass times its final velocity (vf), i.e., Pf = mvf = (1kg)(-1.5m/s) = -1.5Ns. When the velocity sign is negative, it indicates that the direction has reversed.
The change in momentum (ΔP) is given by Pf - Pi = -1.5Ns - 2Ns = -3.5Ns. The negative sign indicates the change in direction, but for the magnitude of the change in momentum, we consider it as 3.5Ns away from the wall.
Hence, option D is correct.

Question 17:

A stationary object travels a distance of 0.45 km and attains a speed of 300 km/hr in the process. What is the acceleration of the object?

A) 0.092 ms^-2
B) 0.5 ms^-2
C) 7.71 ms^-2
D) 0.15 ms^-2

Topic: Physics Concepts - Motion and Acceleration

Correct Answer: C) 7.71 ms^-2

Short Hint:

The starting velocity of the object is zero since it was initially at rest.
It then covers a distance of 0.45 km and reaches a final velocity of 300 km/hr.
To find the acceleration, you can use the equation v² = u² + 2as.
Here, u is initial velocity, v is final velocity, a is acceleration, and s is distance.
With a bit of rearrangement and substitution of the given values, you find that option C, "7.71 ms^-2", is the correct answer.

Question 18:

What is the distance that a body, starting from rest, would cover in time 't'?

A) at²/2
B) Vt
C) a²t/2
D) at²

Topic: Physics Concepts - Motion and Distance

Correct Answer: A) at²/2

Short Hint:

The initial velocity (Vi) is zero because the body starts from rest.
Hence, the equation for distance (S) becomes S = Vit + 0.5a*t².
Since Vi is zero, the equation simplifies to S = 0.5at².
Hence, the correct answer is A, "at²/2".

Question 19:

What is the SI unit of momentum?

A) Kg-ms^-2 or N-m
B) Kg²-ms^-1 or N-m²
C) Kg-m²-s or N²--m
D) Kg-m-s^-1 or N-s

Topic: Physics Concepts - Momentum

Correct Answer: D) Kg-m-s^-1 or N-s

Short Hint:

Mass and velocity are the components of momentum.
Hence, its unit is a combination of the units of mass (kg) and velocity (m/s), which results in Kg-m-s^-1.
It is also equivalent to Newton-seconds (N-s) because Newton (N) is a unit of force, which is mass times acceleration, and acceleration is velocity divided by time.
Hence, the correct answer is D, "Kg-m-s^-1 or N-s".

Question 20:

In the fifth second of free fall, what would be the vertical velocity of an object?

A) 39.2 ms^-1
B) 49 ms^-1
C) 19.6 ms^-1
D) 94.9 ms^-1

Topic: Physics Concepts - Free Fall and Velocity

Correct Answer: B) 49 ms^-1

Short Hint:

The equation for the final velocity (Vf) of a freely falling object is Vf = Vi + gt, where Vi is initial velocity, g is acceleration due to gravity, and t is time.
Given that the object is in free fall, the initial velocity (Vi) is zero.
Gravitational acceleration (g) is approximately 9.8 ms^-2, and the time (t) is 5 seconds.
Substituting these values into the equation gives Vf = 0 + (9.8 * 5) = 49 ms^-1.
Hence, the correct answer is B, "49 ms^-1".

Question 21:

If a ball is dropped from a certain height and falls freely, how much distance would it cover in the first second?

A) 2g
B) g/2
C) g
D) 3g

Topic: Physics Concepts - Free Fall and Distance

Correct Answer: B) g/2

Short Hint:

The formula to calculate the distance covered by a freely falling object is \( h = 0.5 \cdot g \cdot t^2 \), where \( h \) is height, \( g \) is acceleration due to gravity, and \( t \) is time.
In this case, the time (\( t \)) is 1 second. Substituting this value into the equation gives \( h = 0.5 \cdot g \). Hence, the correct answer is B, "g/2".

Question 22:

A train is moving eastward with a velocity of 5ms^-1. A bullet is fired westward with a speed of 10ms^-1 and it takes 8 seconds to pass the train. What is the length of the train?

A) 120m
B) 60m
C) 30m
D) 15m

Topic: Physics Concepts - Relative Velocity

Correct Answer: A) 120m

Short Hint:

The formula to calculate relative distance (S) is \( S = v_r \cdot t \), where \( v_r \) is relative velocity and \( t \) is time.
The relative velocity (\( v_r \)) is the sum of the velocities of the bullet and the train (10ms^-1 + 5ms^-1 = 15ms^-1) since they are moving in opposite directions.
The time (\( t \)) is given as 8 seconds.
Substituting these values into the equation gives \( S = (15ms^-1) \cdot 8s = 120m \). Hence, the correct answer is A, "120m".

Question 23:

What is the accurate relationship between the time-of-flight (T) and the maximum height (H)?

A) gT²/8
B) 8T²/g
C) 8g/T²
D) 8/gT²

Topic: Physics Concepts - Projectile Motion

Correct Answer: A) gT²/8

Short Hint:

The maximum height (H) reached by a projectile is given by the formula \( H = \frac{gT^2}{8} \) where \( g \) is the acceleration due to gravity and \( T \) is the time of flight.
Therefore, the correct relationship between the time of flight (\( T \)) and the maximum height (\( H \)) is A, "gT²/8".

Question 24:

A cricket ball is hit straight upwards and it takes 3 seconds to reach maximum height. What is its initial velocity?

A) 10 ms^-1
B) 15 ms^-1
C) 29.4 ms^-1
D) 12.2 ms^-1

Topic: Physics Concepts - Projectile Motion

Correct Answer: C) 29.4 ms^-1

Short Hint:

The initial velocity (Vi) of an object can be calculated using the equation \( V_f = V_i - g \cdot t \), where \( V_f \) is final velocity, \( g \) is gravity, and \( t \) is time.
For a ball hit upwards, the final velocity (\( V_f \)) at the maximum height is 0, gravity (\( g \)) is 9.8 ms^-2, and time (\( t \)) is given as 3 seconds.
Substituting these values in the equation gives \( V_i = 9.8 \cdot 3 = 29.4 ms^-1 \). Therefore, the correct answer is C, "29.4 ms^-1".

Question 25:

When a projectile in flight explodes into several pieces, what happens to the total momentum of the fragments immediately after the explosion?

A) Stays the same as the momentum of the projectile just before the explosion
B) Transforms into the fragments' kinetic energy
C) Decreases compared to the momentum of the projectile just before the explosion
D) Increases compared to the momentum of the projectile just before the explosion

Topic: Physics Concepts - Momentum and Explosions

Correct Answer: A) Stays the same as the momentum of the projectile just before the explosion

Short Hint:

According to the law of conservation of momentum, the total momentum of a system of objects remains constant unless acted upon by an external force.
So, the total momentum of the fragments immediately after the explosion is the same as the momentum of the projectile just before the explosion.

Question 26:

How much distance will a body, falling freely, travel in a time span of 2 seconds?

A) 4.9 m
B) 19.6 m
C) 39.2 m
D) 44.1 m

Topic: Physics Concepts - Free Fall

Correct Answer: B) 19.6 m

Detailed Hint:

When an object falls freely, the initial velocity (Vi) is 0, and the acceleration is equal to g, the acceleration due to gravity.
The distance (S) covered can be calculated using the equation S = Vit + ½ gt^2.
In this case, time (t) is given as 2 seconds. Substituting these values into the equation, we get S = 0 × 2 + ½ × 9.8 × 2^2 = 19.6 m.

Question 27:

When a bullet is fired from a gun, the gun recoils backwards. What can be said about the velocity of the gun?

A) Equal to the velocity of the bullet
B) Higher than the velocity of the bullet
C) Lower than the velocity of the bullet
D) None of the above

Topic: Physics Concepts - Momentum and Recoil

Correct Answer: C) Lower than the velocity of the bullet

Detailed Hint:

According to the principle of conservation of momentum, the total momentum of the system (gun and bullet) remains constant before and after the bullet is fired.
Hence, the gun must recoil backwards to ensure that total momentum is conserved. However, since the gun has a much larger mass than the bullet, its velocity will be lower.

Question 29:

A particle with a mass of 0.5 gm is observed moving along the x-axis. It was found at x1 = 15m when t1 = 5sec and later at x2 = 33m when t2 = 13sec. What would you calculate as its average velocity?

A) 2.45 ms^-1
B) 6 ms^-1
C) 4.45 ms^-1
D) 2.25 ms^-1

Topic: Physics Concepts - Motion and Velocity

Correct Answer: D) 2.25 ms^-1

Detailed Hint:

The average velocity of an object moving along a straight line is calculated by dividing the total displacement by the total time taken.
In this case, the displacement is given by x2 - x1, which is 33m - 15m = 18m.
The total time taken is t2 - t1, which is 13sec - 5sec = 8sec.
So, the average velocity is 18m/8sec = 2.25 ms^-1.
Therefore, the correct answer is D, "2.25 ms^-1".

Question 30:

During the trajectory of a projectile, at what point is its velocity observed to be the highest?

A) At its peak
B) At the launch point and just before it hits the ground
C) Halfway up its ascent
D) After it impacts the ground

Topic: Physics Concepts - Projectile Motion

Correct Answer: B) At the launch point and just before it hits the ground

Detailed Hint:

The velocity of a projectile is determined by both its horizontal and vertical components.
The horizontal component remains constant throughout, but the vertical component changes due to gravity.
At the launch and just before hitting the ground, the vertical component of velocity is highest (ignoring air resistance), combining with the constant horizontal component to give the maximum velocity.
Therefore, the velocity of the projectile is maximum at the point of launching and just before striking the ground.
Hence, the correct answer is B, "At the launch point and just before it hits the ground".
